MiliUI IntelliSense

VS Code/Lua Language Server support for MiliUI.

The extension contains editor-only LuaLS declarations for the public MiliUI API. It does not install or modify the MiliUI game runtime.

Setup

Open either the external_lua_file folder itself or any parent workspace that contains:

external_lua_file/
└─ MiliUI/
   └─ init.lua

The extension detects MiliUI and enables its declaration library for the matching workspace. When that setup changes the LuaLS library configuration, MiliUI automatically restarts Lua Language Server so the declarations are picked up immediately.

If the workspace already has .luarc.json or .luarc.jsonc, the extension preserves existing workspace.library entries (for example Miliastra typings) and adds the MiliUI library there because LuaLS gives that config file precedence over VS Code's normal Lua settings.

You can also run these commands from the Command Palette:

MiliUI: Enable IntelliSense for Workspace
MiliUI: Disable IntelliSense for Workspace
MiliUI: Diagnose IntelliSense

The extension never changes the runtime under external_lua_file/MiliUI. It updates only LuaLS editor configuration. Existing library entries are retained.

MiliUI: Diagnose IntelliSense opens a small report showing the resolved declaration-library path and whether VS Code settings / .luarc currently include it.

MiliUI normally restarts Lua Language Server automatically when its library path is first added or changed. If hover/signature information still looks stale:

Ctrl+Shift+P
→ Lua: Restart Language Server
