Formatting

To support automatically formatting your code, you can use JohnnyMorganz/StyLua, a Lua code formatter.

Install with:

# macOS via Homebrew
brew install stylua
# Or via Cargo
cargo install stylua --features lua52,lua53,lua54,luau

Configure formatting in Settings (cmd-,|ctrl-,) under Languages > Luau, or add to your settings file:

  "languages": {
    "Luau": {
      "formatter": {
        "external": {
          "command": "stylua",
          "arguments": ["-"]
        }
      }
    }
  }
