lua-language-server VS love-api

Check the documentation of lua_ls

You can use LLS extension for VSCode. Documentation: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotations

There's lua-language-server which works with types defined in definition files and/or annotations in comments.

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.

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)

And I was reading this installation guide and after "./bin/lua-language-server " I get this in terminal

Not sure about typescript but there is a jsdoc equivalent: https://github.com/LuaLS/lua-language-server/wiki/Annotations

Lua with lua-language-server and annotated types is a much nicer experience.

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.

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).

Nova may have support for LSP, so you could try using emmylua, lua-language-server or lua-lsp along with love-api (I think there's a version of that that uses Lua function stubs that LSP would interpret as completable code).
