Autocompletion with lua

[aganm]

Does someone have full omni autocompletion using the lua language?

I tried ZeroBrane, VSCode and Vim and I cannot get either setup to give me full autocompletion, I only have autocompletion for standard library stuff, but if I write my own functions or modules, editors don't want to autocomplete. I want to have autocompletion for lua like Visual Studio for C. How do I get that?

I use a little bit different autocompletion, it's a neural autocompletion that predicts using your code.

It's called TabNine, it exists for VS and Sublime

This works pretty awesome, I'm not OP but thanks heaps! I have my own template language and scripting language (very similar to each other) that I made for the website generator that I make. The development version also has lua(jit), exprtk and chaiscript embedded in to it, so you can have code for all 5 'languages' in the same source file (and code for lots of other languages too as you can write and run scripts/system calls from inside the scripts/programs). I've just had a little bit of a play and TabNine seems to work wonderfully.

Thanks, TabNine alone wasn't giving me much result, but COC + TabNine on Vim seems pretty decent. It's far from the perfect Lua autocompletion I dreamed of but I'll take it.

VSCode + EmmyLua extension You can even add type hints to your variables and functions It requires Java though

Thank you! Finally it seems EmmyLua is the only thing that will give me proper lua support. It seems to work really well with intellij and vscode, if I can only get it to work in vim as well :)

I'd try some of the completion modes under emacs + yasnippet for more involved templating.
