AshLua

AshLua exposes your Ash domains and resources to Lua scripts, with a consistent actor, tenant, and context attached to every call. Scripts can read records, mutate them, and invoke generic actions — all through the same authorization, validation, and types your application already uses elsewhere.

It ships with a manifest-driven documentation surface (AshLua.Docs) designed to feed an MCP search_docs / get_docs tool, so an LLM client can discover and call your API without prior knowledge.

Installation

Add ash_lua to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:ash_lua, "~> 0.1.0"}
  ]
end

Then run the installer:

mix igniter.install ash_lua

See the getting started guide for a walkthrough.

Roadmap

The current 0.1.x line is functional but a few pieces are still missing.

• Configurable input/output naming. Domain and resource names are overridable today via lua do name "..." end; field-level renames are planned.
