Lua Validation Toolkit

Tools to create validation specs for lua projects.

NOTE: THIS REPO IS IN IT'S INFANCY STAGE, EVERYTHING IS SUBJECT TO RADICAL CHANGE INCLUDING THE PROJECT NAME AND GOALS

Inspiration

Partly general insatisfaction with no proper validators for code against versions of libraries. Luacheck does a good job but it lacks definitions. The lack of a common standard for definition files doesn't help. Also every project/coder annotates differently or not at all. The secondary benifit of this project is limited in supporting code completion definitions because of missing annotations. The results from these tools can provide some sort of middle ground where at least the editors can know of existing methods and global variables.

Goals (all up to some point):

• basic converter .luacheckrc to .luarc.json.
• generate portable scheme files of code base.
• support luacheck
• support for VSC via LSP Language Server Protocol
