*luaft.txt* Lua file type plug-in for the Vim text editor

The Lua [1] file type plug-in for Vim makes it easier to work with Lua source
code in Vim by providing the following features:

- The |'includeexpr'| option is set so that the |gf| (go to file) mapping knows
how to resolve Lua module names using package.path [2]

- The |'include'| option is set so that Vim follows dofile() [3], loadfile() [4]
and require() [5] calls when looking for identifiers in included files
(this works together with the |'includeexpr'| option)

- An automatic command is installed that runs 'luac -p' when you save your Lua
scripts. If 'luac' reports any errors they are shown in the quick-fix list
and Vim jumps to the line of the first error. If 'luac -p' doesn't report
any errors a check for undefined global variables is performed by parsing
the output of 'luac -p -l'

- '<F1>' on a Lua function or 'method' call will try to open the relevant
documentation in the Lua Reference for Vim [6]

- The |'completefunc'| option is set to allow completion of Lua 5.1 keywords,
global variables and library members using Control-X Control-U

- The |'omnifunc'| option is set to allow dynamic completion of the variables
defined in all modules installed on the system using Control-X Control-O,
however it needs to be explicitly enabled by setting the
|lua_complete_omni| option because this functionality may have undesired
side effects! When you invoke omni completion after typing 'require '' or
'require('' you get completion of module names

Screenshot of omni completion, see reference [7]

- Several |text-objects| are defined so you can jump between blocks and
functions

- A pretty nifty hack of the matchit plug-in (see |matchit-install|) is
included: When the cursor is on a 'function' or 'return' keyword the '%'
mapping cycles between the relevant keywords ('function', 'return', 'end'),
this also works for branching statements ('if', 'elseif', 'else', 'end')
and looping statements ('for', 'while', 'repeat', 'until', 'end')

===============================================================================
*luaft-installation*
Installation ~

Unzip the most recent ZIP archive [8] file inside your Vim profile directory
(usually this is '~/.vim' on UNIX and '%USERPROFILE%\vimfiles' on Windows),
restart Vim and execute the command ':helptags ~/.vim/doc' (use ':helptags
~\vimfiles\doc' instead on Windows). Now try it out: Edit a Lua script and try
any of the features documented above.

===============================================================================
*luaft-options*
Options ~

The Lua file type plug-in handles options as follows: First it looks at buffer
local variables, then it looks at global variables and if neither exists a
default is chosen. This means you can change how the plug-in works for
individual buffers. For example to change the location of the Lua compiler
used to check the syntax:
>
" This sets the default value for all buffers.
:let g:lua_compiler_name = '/usr/local/bin/luac'
" This is how you change the value for one buffer.
:let b:lua_compiler_name = '/usr/local/bin/lualint'
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_path* option

This option contains the value of 'package.path' as a string. You shouldn't
need to change this because the plug-in is aware of $LUA_PATH [2] and if that
isn't set the plug-in will run a Lua interpreter to get the value of
package.path [2].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_check_syntax* option

When you write a Lua script to disk the plug-in automatically runs the Lua
compiler to check for syntax errors. To disable this behavior you can set this
option to false (0):
>
let g:lua_check_syntax = 0
You can manually check the syntax using the ':CheckSyntax' command.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_check_globals* option

When you write a Lua script to disk the plug-in automatically runs the Lua
compiler to check for undefined global variables. To disable this behavior you
can set this option to false (0):
>
let g:lua_check_globals = 0
You can manually check the globals using the ':CheckGlobals' command.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_compiler_name* option

The name or path of the Lua compiler used to check for syntax errors (defaults
to 'luac'). You can set this option to run the Lua compiler from a
non-standard location or to run a dedicated syntax checker like lualint [9].

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_compiler_args* option

The argument(s) required by the compiler or syntax checker (defaults to '-p').

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_error_format* option

If you use a dedicated syntax checker you may need to change this option to
reflect the format of the messages printed by the syntax checker.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_complete_keywords* option

To disable completion of keywords you can set this option to false (0).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_complete_globals* option

To disable completion of global functions you can set this option to false
(0).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_complete_library* option

To disable completion of library functions you can set this option to false
(0).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_complete_dynamic* option

When you type a dot after a word the Lua file type plug-in will automatically
start completion. To disable this behavior you can set this option to false
(0).

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The *lua_complete_omni* option

This option is disabled by default for two reasons:

- The omni completion support works by enumerating and loading all installed
modules. If module loading has side effects this can have unintended
consequences!

- Because all modules installed on the system are loaded, collecting the
completion candidates can be slow. After the first run the completion
candidates are cached so this will only bother you once (until you restart
Vim).

If you want to use the omni completion despite the warnings above, execute the
following command:
>
:let g:lua_complete_omni = 1
Now when you type Control-X Control-O Vim will hang for a moment, after which
you should be presented with an enormous list of completion candidates :-)
