Luau/Zig/VSCode example (WIP!)

Example project that:

• Uses Ziglua bindings
• Runs a Luau script either directly from source or by loading and executing bytecode
• Shows how to declare types for a Luau/Zig API
• Use luau-lsp in VSCode for type-checking Luau code

Demo

Running the project

Running the luau script directly from source:

zig build run -- script/main.luau

Compile the luau script into bytecode, execute bytecode:

luau-compile --binary script/main.luau > script/main.luau.bin
zig build run -- script/main.luau.bin

VSCode

• Install the Luau Language Server VSCode extension
• Load the example project by code <repo_root_dir>. This should pick up the right Luau lsp configuration from the ``.vscode/settings.json` file.

TODO

• luau-analyze with type types.d.luau (seems like luau-analyze cannot load type decls? see luau-lang/luau#1139)
