Introduction

In the world of Neovim plugin development. One of superpowers enabled by the Lua language in Neovim is type annotations using EmmyLua-style comments (---@). These annotations supercharge documentation, IDE integration, and code readability.

In lazydocker.nvim, a plugin that embeds LazyDocker into a Neovim floating window, I extensively used these annotations.

Lua Type Annotations

Lua is dynamically typed, but Neovim’s LSP (via nvim-lspconfig and emmy-lua) supports EmmyLua annotations:

---@class MyClass
---@field field string A description.

---@param param string Input param.
---@return boolean Success?
function myFunc(param) end

These generate:

lazydocker.nvim is a Lua-based Neovim plugin that allows you to open lazydocker in a floating window without ever leaving your editor. This means you can quickly check on your containers, view logs, or manage services, and then get right back to your code with a single keystroke.

Preamble

Imagine you’re building a communications platform that needs to process messages from multiple providers. Each provider has different message formats, authentication requirements, and processing logic. You need:

• API endpoints to receive incoming messages
• Message queues to handle traffic spikes
• Lambda functions to process different message types
• Media storage for attachments
• Comprehensive monitoring and alerting
• Rate limiting and security controls

Managing this infrastructure manually through the AWS console would be error-prone and time-consuming. CloudFormation templates help, but they can become complex and hard to maintain as your infrastructure grows.

DietLogApp is a powerful, AI-driven application designed to analyze food images and provide detailed nutritional feedback.

My recent contribution to the neovim/nvim-lspconfig repository adds comprehensive [eslint](https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://eslint.org/&ved =2ahUKEwjH_Kzy1u2QAxUwALkGHSjBNWQQFnoECA8QAQ&usg=AOvVaw3BGEnWIUCsLA7AsBnz99Wm) language server support using the modern vim.lsp.config api. this pull request addresses issue #3075.

nvim-lspconfig is the official Neovim plugin that provides quickstart configurations for Language Server Protocol (LSP) clients. With the release of Neovim 0.11, the project has been transitioning from the legacy require'lspconfig'.setup{} pattern to the new vim.lsp.config API. This modernization efforttt requires updating all existing configurations to use the new pattern.
