[Question] How do you add an application's API to Intellisense? about lua-language-server HOT 7 CLOSED

You may use EmmyLua for now.

from lua-language-server.

Is there a recommended method of "including" such files in your VS Code workspace? Or must you just have your "defintion file" somewhere in your workspace?

from lua-language-server.

What i have done is make a folder called api/ and then another folder named after what its defining
and then put lua files for there definitions

I created 2 python scripts to automate converting a webpage into bare lua files with Emmy's format for auto-completions ect

just as a side note, this is what i have done, don't expect it to be how it should be done as that i do not know.

Yes, I've done much the same myself. Havent put it on github yet but intend to.

Have you somehow managed to get function descriptions to show up? I use a format like this:

--- Opens a filename for seeking and playback
function preview:Open()end

But in VSCode I don't see that comment "Opens a filename..." etc when i begin to type "Open", as I would in other languages.

Very good point, im currently using a different extension for the time being until this one has better support for EmmyLua...
i will create a suggestion for it.

I think this may meet your needs.

Wow, sounds great! Also, the English looks good to me...
