Luau-Starlit

Luau-Starlit is a custom VSCode extension by Starlit Studios, designed for developers using the Luau scripting language. This extension includes a specialized theme and optional grammar tweaks for .luaux files.

Features

  • Custom Syntax Highlighting:
    • Errors like assert are bold dark red for visibility.
    • Non-error keywords like print are bright off-white for distinction.
    • Muted keywords such as local reduce visual clutter.
  • Enhanced Comments for .luaux Files:
    -- Standard comment
    --> Note comment
    --! Warning comment
    --X Critical comment
    
    --TODO To-do task
    --FIXME Needs fixing
    --NOTE Important note
    
    -->> Bold note
    --!! Bold warning
    --XX Bold critical
    
    Theme-Only Option: Use .lua or .luau files for theming only. Use .luaux or .luax for additional functionality.

Extension Settings

luau-starlit.enableFullFunctionality:
    true (default): Full functionality for .luaux files (grammar tweaks, custom colors, enhanced comments).
    false: Only theming is applied.

Requirements

No special requirements. Works seamlessly with .lua, .luau, and .luaux files.

Known Issues

  • Conflicts with other Lua extensions may arise when full functionality is enabled.
  • .luaux files are recommended for best results.

Key Benefits

  1. Flexibility for Users: Users can choose between lightweight theming or advanced tweaks.
  2. Better User Experience: .lua and .luau remain compatible without introducing unexpected changes, while .luaux allows experimentation.
  3. Customizability: Future updates can extend the toggle to include other features like formatting rules or snippet behavior.
