Any project to provide type annotation for lua like https://github.com/DefinitelyTyped/DefinitelyTyped/ for js?

For example, I edit the configuration fo wezterm:

local wezterm = require 'wezterm'
local hostname = wezterm.hostname()
-- ...

How can we get completion when input wezterm.?

And vim plugin is same: vim.

In javascript, I know we can npm add -D @types/XXX to import some index.d.ts, which contains type annotation which can be recognized by typescript language server (tsc).

Is any method to support it in lua-language-server?

Hello 👋

Creating something like DefinitelyTyped is one of my goals that is at least underway. Users can create definition files (like a d.ts file). These definitions can then be included in an addon. Addons can then be added to the LLS-Addons project. These addons are then pulled by the addon manager in VS Code, where they can be managed easily using a custom UI.

There is a discussion about how the process can be improved, if you have any ideas/feedback 🙂

Thanks, vim's plugin also support it:

Why not use some extension like .d.lua like .d.ts? It should be more clear.
