## What it is
A Neovim plugin that configures the lua-language-server to provide full signature help, documentation, and completion for the Neovim Lua API in init.lua and plugin development. It is now end-of-life, with lazydev.nvim recommended as its replacement for Neovim >= 0.10.

## Use cases
- get completion for vim.api functions in my neovim config
- signature help and docs for the nvim lua api
- set up lua language server for neovim plugin development
- autocomplete for vim.opt and vim.loop in init.lua
- configure lua_ls workspace for neovim runtime and plugins

## When to choose
- you are on Neovim 0.7 to 0.9 and want full Lua API completion and docs
- you develop Neovim plugins in Lua and want proper require paths and plugin workspace libraries

## When to avoid
- you are on Neovim >= 0.10, where lazydev.nvim is the recommended faster replacement
- you need a project that is actively developed, since this one is EOL

## Facets
- artifact type: plugin
- maturity: maintenance
- function: editor, documentation, developer-tools
- domain: text-editors, developer-tools, programming-languages
- platform: editor-plugin, cli
- tags: neovim, lua, lsp, lua-language-server, completion, eol
