question about plugins
Use and enforce a style with StyLua) or LuaFormatte and neovim can autoformat for ya.

StyLua now supports collapsing simple statements
Starting from version 0.14.0, StyLua (the Lua code formatter in Neovim world) implements option collapse_simple_statement. From release notes:
-
Writing a neovim plugin. Please send criticisms to make the code better
Check out StyLua if you want a code formatter.

Cannot run executables with Alpine and Busybox images
RUN wget -O stylua-0.11.0-linux.zip https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua/releases/download/v0.11.0/stylua-0.11.0-linux.zip && \ unzip stylua-0.11.0-linux.zip && \ rm stylua-0.11.0-linux.zip && \ chmod +x stylua

Difference between require("foo") and require"foo"
If your function call has only one argument and it happens to be a literal string or a table, then you might want to eliminate the parenthesis. Use whatever style you prefer, the later is useful for some DSLs. Let stylua auto format it anyway.

Lua Indentation Woes
Have you tried any external programs to format your code instead? That's what I usually do. Just set 'formatprg', and use gq to format the code. With a quick search I found LuaFormatter, and StyLua, but I can't say if they format the code the way you want. In my experience, external code formaters will do a better job, and they have more options to tweak as well.

[question] Where can i find the formatter tool for lua ?
Have a look at https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua together with https://github.com/jose-elias-alvarez/null-ls.nvim

lua-format : how to keep equals signs aligned (like EasyAlign)
I personally use https://github.com/JohnnyMorganz/StyLua and I am seeing it a lot in some popular projects like telescope.nvim, nvim-lspconfig and ther is also a PR to include it into neovim itself to format the lua files.

Some questions about code formatting with lsp-zero and mason
Check the documentation of lua_ls

Beginner question: is there any coding standard for documenting Lua functions or tables emulating OOP?
You can use LLS extension for VSCode. Documentation: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotations

Lua: The Little Language That Could
There's lua-language-server which works with types defined in definition files and/or annotations in comments.

Documentation Comment highlighting with TreeSitter
Lastly, neovim now supports semantic token highlighting which uses semantic tokens from LSP servers to provide even better, language specific highlighting. Some LSP servers support semantic tokens for doc comments. The lua language server is a good example. Unfortunately, if you're using a language like C or C++, the language servers do not provide semantic tokens for comments because doxygen style comments are not specific to those languages so you might be out of luck for semantic token highlighting.

This little thing bugs me: in lua LSP popup content, the closing paren is always highlighted red
I think it is because the language server send a different type for the first line: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/blob/eeffd1462b892fda5d01282acf840ba0e154e467/script/core/hover/label.lua (might be one of the other files here, not label)

How complex can I make games in Lua?
Lua with lua-language-server and annotated types is a much nicer experience.

mini.nvim - release of version 0.8.0
For it to be language-aware (like provide suggestions for module/table/class methods/fields) you also need language server (like lua_ls for Lua). But even without it you should see suggestions from fallback method. If you don't, then 'mini.completion' is not installed and/or activated.

PSA: Changes to the mason.nvim registry
I also want to thank current & past GitHub sponsors who help finance costs associated with the plugin. I regularly pay the surplus forward to other devs whose tooling I heavily rely on (huge shout-out to sumneko for working on the Lua language server, without it a plugin of the complexity of mason.nvim would be impossible, go sponsor them here).
