Feature Request: Native Luau (Roblox) Support for Symbol Indexing and Dependency Analysis

[CCDXhenry]

Background

I am using GitNexus for Roblox game development projects written in Luau.

Luau is Roblox's scripting language, derived from Lua but with significant extensions such as:

• Static type annotations
• Type inference
• Roblox-specific APIs
• Object-oriented patterns based on metatables
• Modern language features not available in standard Lua

As Roblox continues to grow, many large-scale game projects now contain hundreds or thousands of Luau source files, making code navigation and semantic search increasingly important.

Why Luau Support Matters

GitNexus already provides excellent code indexing and symbol discovery capabilities.

However, without dedicated Luau parsing, it is difficult to fully understand:

• Function definitions
• Method declarations
• Class-like module patterns
• Type definitions
• Require() dependency relationships
• Cross-module symbol references

For larger Roblox projects, these relationships are critical for AI-assisted development workflows.

Requested Features

1. Luau Parser Support

Support parsing .luau files and Roblox-style .lua files written in Luau syntax.

Examples:

export type PlayerData = {
    Coins: number,
    Level: number,
}

local PlayerService = {}

function PlayerService:GetData(player: Player): PlayerData
    return self._data[player]
end

return PlayerService
