Editor Setup

Lune prioritizes developer experience, providing type definitions and documentation for many editors and tools without any additional downloads.

Quick Setup

Run this command to configure your project for editor support:

Terminal

lune --init

This creates:

• .luaurc - Luau LSP configuration with path aliases
• lune.config.json - Lune project configuration
• lune_packages/ - Directory for installed packages

Luau Language Server

The Luau Language Server (luau-lsp) provides excellent editor support including:

• Autocomplete for all @lune/* modules
• Type checking with full type definitions
• Hover documentation for functions and types
• Go to definition support

VS Code

1. Install the Luau LSP extension
2. Run lune --init in your project
3. Restart VS Code

Neovim

Add to your LSP config:

require('lspconfig').luau_lsp.setup({
    -- Configuration here
})

Other Editors

Any editor supporting the Language Server Protocol can use luau-lsp. Check your editor’s documentation for LSP setup.

Troubleshooting

If autocomplete isn’t working:

1. Make sure you ran lune --init
2. Check that .luaurc exists in your project root
3. Restart your editor/language server
