tree-sitter-lua VS lua-language-server

As an alternative, telescope.nvim leverages TJs tree-sitter-lua that is relatively easy to setup as per the project README. I've done it twice for telescope extensions.

I am happy to announce mini.doc - module of mini.nvim for generating help files (what you read when using :help) from EmmyLua-like annotations (not fully complying with this standard but very close). The basic idea is to keep documentation close to Lua implementation and generate help files automatically. It was written mainly to document 'mini.nvim' (instead of previous great but not that flexible tjdevries/tree-sitter-lua), but other people can also benefit from this. And not only plugin authors: general user can also document their Neovim Lua setup!

Interesting, you seem to have done for this a lot of the reasons I created this parser awhile back: https://github.com/tjdevries/tree-sitter-lua

For documentation, I can highly recommend: https://github.com/tjdevries/tree-sitter-lua

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).
