LÖVE

This plugin enables auto-complete functionality for functions of the LÖVE-framework while using Lua for IntelliJ Idea.

The plugin is auto-generated from the LÖVE-API-Documentation.

Download and instructions on github.

There's the LÖVE API in Lua table here: http://santos.nfshost.com/love_api.lua

With it you could automatically create files with something like this:

Code: Select all

api = require('love_api')

love.filesystem.append('love.lua', "module('love')\r\n")

for i, f in ipairs(api.callbacks) do
	love.filesystem.append('love.lua', 'function '..f.name..'() end\r\n')
end

for i, f in ipairs(api.functions) do
	love.filesystem.append('love.lua', 'function '..f.name..'() end\r\n')
end

for i, m in ipairs(api.modules) do
	love.filesystem.append(m.name..'.lua', "module('love."..m.name.."')\r\n")
	for ii, f in ipairs(m.functions) do
		love.filesystem.append(m.name..'.lua', 'function '..f.name..'() end\r\n')
	end
end

I'm not sure how the API files for IntelliJ IDEA work, but you might be able to modify the code above to add parameters, descriptions, and object methods.

If this works...I think I might love you. (no pun intended)

Afaik there is a way to have docs too ... but I couldn't get it to work last time I tried. I'll give it another shot!

It works here

If you have troubles setting it up just ping me and I'll try to post some clearer instructions.

Pushed a new update. (Re-)Generated the API with the help of the love api and the code Santos posted above.

Haven't had a chance to test this yet, but it doesn't appear like your API shows arguments, does it? If not, any chance of implementing it?

I played around with the custom documentation feature of the lua plugin, but it seems like it is broken - I can't get it to work properly at least.

The maintainer of the API seems to be pretty busy so I'm not sure if it'll ever be fixed

Just a quick heads up that the plugin doesn't work (correctly) under IntelliJ Idea 14. So until the author decides to update I recommend using IntelliJ Idea 13.1.6.

The plugin is updated to LÖVE version 0.9.2 and now lives at github.

P.S.: Lua plugin for IntelliJ IDEA now also works with IDEA 14.

Pushed a minor update adding some previously missing functions.

Code: Select all

- Update love.filesystem module in 0.9.2 plugin.
