Core Lua API for VS Code

A Visual Studio Code extension that adds support for the Core Games Lua API to the Lua Language Server.

Open in VSCode Build Status Marketplace Version

Logo

As of version 1.0.0, this extension uses Sumneko's Lua Language Server with auto-generated EmmyLua annotations. The file in this repo is actually generated by using the manticore branch of this fork.

The extension itself does not come with any options. If you want to alter its behavior you have to change it in the Lua Language Server extension that gets installed automatically.

If you have previously been using vscode-core together with the Lua Coder Assist extension, make sure to uninstall that for the best results.

Sumneko's Lua extension also comes with it's own "Diagnostics" feature, so if you have been using other extensions that use Luacheck and a .luacheckrc file, you might want to either disable those extensions or the "Diagnostics" feature in Sumneko's.
