• Lua Static Analysis Tools - Identifies type mismatches, unused variables, and logic errors in Lua code before execution.
• Lua Type Checkers - Defines custom types and annotations to enforce type safety and improve code predictability in Lua.
• Type Inference Support - Deduces variable types by analyzing assignments and return values to enforce type safety during static analysis.
• Symbol Definition Resolution - Enables locating the original declaration of variables, classes, or functions across the project workspace.
• Type Annotations - Provides a system for defining and enforcing types through inline annotations and meta files for static analysis.
• Type Inference Engines - Implements an inference-based type system that automatically deduces variable types from assignments and return values.
• Language Grammar Validation - Identifies violations of Lua language grammar to prevent runtime failures.
• User-Defined Types - Allows the definition of custom type aliases, enums, and class structures to enforce type safety.
• Lua Type Checkers - Infers variable types and enforces type safety using optional annotations and meta files.
• Static Type Checking - Analyzes variable and function types to detect potential mismatches before the code is executed.
• Static Analysis AST Parsing - Parses source code into abstract syntax trees to detect structural errors and identify unused code.
• Source Code Formatters - Includes a built-in formatter that automatically adjusts indentation and style to maintain consistent visual structure.
• Code-to-Documentation Extractors - Extracts docstrings and symbols from source code to generate technical reference documentation.
• Document Exporting - Generates project documentation in Markdown and JSON formats using defined filtering rules.
• API Documentation Generators - Extracts codebase information to automatically generate documentation in Markdown and JSON formats.
• Code Refactoring Tools - Provides project-wide symbol renaming and automatic source code formatting to maintain style consistency.
• Definition-Only Files - Supports meta files that provide type definitions for other files without affecting functional analysis.
• Symbol-Based Documentation Generators - Exports project symbols and annotations into JSON or Markdown files via a command-line interface.
• Hover Information Displays - Displays detailed information and documentation comments in popups when hovering over symbols.
• Project Workspaces - Isolates environments for different project roots to maintain independent global variables and settings.
• API Documentation Generators - Extracts symbols and annotations from source code to generate structured technical API documentation.
• Cross-Module Symbol Linking - Implements mechanisms for linking symbols across different modules to enable hyperlinked navigation in documentation.
• Workspace Library Scopes - Includes external library implementation code and definition files in the project scope for better context.
• Language Version Targeting - Allows restricting functions or classes to specific language versions to ensure static analysis compatibility.
• Module Path Resolution - Translates module requests into specific filesystem paths to locate external libraries and dependencies.
• Runtime Environment Configuration - Defines the language version and available libraries to match the target execution environment.
• Third-Party Extension Installation - Enables the installation of external library definitions to provide intelligence for third-party frameworks.
• Type Casting - Overrides inferred types using inline annotations to resolve complex type scenarios.
• Lua Library Type Declarations - Provides the ability to describe external library signatures using meta files for accurate autocompletion.
• Member Visibility Control - Supports restricting access to functions and fields through private, protected, and package-level scopes.
• Member Access Verification - Blocks access to private class members from unauthorized scopes and flags deprecated variables.
• Code Style Formatting - Standardizes code layout and enforces a consistent style guide across the codebase.
• Dead Code Detectors - Highlights variables, functions, and arguments that are defined but never referenced across the project.
• Lua API Documentation Generation - Extracts symbols and annotations from Lua source code to generate structured Markdown and JSON documentation.
• Workspace Isolation - Maintains separate global variables and settings for different project roots to prevent cross-project interference.
• AST Modification Plugins - Integrates custom scripts to modify ASTs, intercept text changes, and alter compilation behavior.
• Server Capability Extenders - Allows adding custom API definitions and plugins to extend the server's knowledge of specific frameworks.
• LSP Plugin Extensions - Supports third-party plugins that can hook into internal interfaces to modify the AST or resolve calls.
• Static Logic Analyzers - Detects potential runtime risks and logic errors such as infinite loops and indexing nil objects.
• Symbol Renamers - Allows for project-wide symbol renaming while automatically updating all references to the changed symbol.
