Importing to Lua such as NLua

[mriley-wallace]

Not the most extravagant request here, but I do a lot of LUA scripting, and most of which create DataTemplates to return back to the pc or android device. I can't go into too much detail, but one thing I have found is that Lua cannot import UraniumUI / Materials / Controls respectively, which is such a shame as I much prefer the Dropdown than Pickers etc.

Having the ability to import to Lua would be amazing.

If someone has successfully done so and have been able to create a dropdown and return it, please could you provide me with an example as what I am doing doesn't seem to have much effect.

--For Reference--
I have an instance of Lua and on creation I do a mass import for the things I need, so

 _theLua.DoString(@"
                     import('Microsoft.Maui.Controls')
                     import('Microsoft.Maui.Controls.Internals')
                     import('MySql.Data')
                     import('MySql.Data.MySqlClient')
                     import('System.Xml')
                     import('System.Diagnostics')
                     import('System')
                     import('System.IO')
                     import('Notifications')
                     import('CommunityToolkit.Mvvm.ComponentModel')
                     import('Plugin.Maui.Audio')
                     import('UraniumUI')
                     import('UraniumUI.Material.Controls')
                     import('UraniumUI.Controls')
                     
  ");
  
  and then when I call my specific script which comes from a database, I am attempting:
  [a bunch of other code] then
  local companyPicker = Dropdown()
    companyPicker.ItemsSource:Add(""blah"")
    companyPicker.ItemsSource:Add(""blah2"")
    companyPicker.SelectedIndex = 0 
    companyPicker.WidthRequest = 250
    companyPicker.Placeholder = ""Choose""
    
    stacklayout.Children:Add(companyPicker)
    
    return stacklayout
