The Lua language server provides various language features for Lua to make development easier and faster. With around half a million installs on Visual Studio Code, it is the most popular extension for Lua language support. The language server can be installed for use in Visual Studio Code, NeoVim, and any other clients that support the Language Server Protocol. The language server can be configured using a configuration file. The language server and Visual Studio Code client can be installed from the VS Code Marketplace. Check the wiki for a guide to install the language server for use on the command line. This allows the language server to be used with other clients that follow the language server protocol.
