Moai SDK for IntelliJ IDEA

[plandem]

Ok, guys and girls. I'm finished my parser/builder for Moai SDK for great free Lua plugin for great free IDE - IntelliJ IDEA.
- Autocomplete - YES
- Quickhelp Documentation (Ctrl + Q) - YES
- External Documentation (Shitft + F1) - YES
- Quick Navigation Tooltips (Ctrl + Hover Mouse) - YES

You can use it for free, of course

IntelliJ IDEA official site:
http://www.jetbrains.com/idea/download/index.html

Lua plugin official site:
http://bitbucket.org/sylvanaar2/lua-for-idea/

Short information about installing SDK:

Some useful screencasts for using this plugin that maybe can improve you programming speed (Zen Lua, for example):

Are Moai APIs able to be 'put into" IntelliJ IDEA for auto-suggestion?
If this is possible, I might move from textmate.

[plandem]

What do u mean 'put into'?

for example if u type: MOAIAc u will get list with:

MOAIAction
MOAIAction.EVENT_STOP

MOAIAction.addChild
MOAIAction.clear
...
MOAIActionMgr
MOAIActionMgr.getRoot
MOAIActionMgr.setProfilingEnabled

and etc.

[anddrewscott]

That is what I meant, I didn't know the word for it.

[plandem]

But there is still no any smart autocomplete.

I.e.:

Code: Select all

1. file = io.open("aa", "r")

and autocompelete for:

Code: Select all

1. file.

will not work. Author is working on it right now, so maybe it will be added in next version.

Thanks Plandem - this is great!

[plandem]

AutocoMpletion for a begginer. A lot of thanks!

And what can i do for "autorun" my moai project in Android from IDEA?

Hi,

May be someone can help me.

I had installed the IntelliJ IDEA CE 11 and installed the LUA plugin from the plugin manager.
I go to Create Lua Module and In the Lua SDK wizard only see Kahlua, not Lua SDK. So I go to configure and add Lua SDK.

Now, where in the world is Lua SDK to download from? I'm using win7

Is there any template for IntelliJ IDEA CE 11 with a window host config?

Many thanks

[plandem]

i got my LuaSDK from:
http://code.google.com/p/luaforwindows/downloads/list

and i got this URL from official site of Lua

[southlight]

Hi plandem,

Many thanks for the link.

Thanks a lot

Hi Plandem,
Hey, do you think it would be much work rolling Ymobe's 'Rapanui' Moai wrapper API into your autocompletion setup?

I'm not sure if they've published HTML documentation, however, this could be done directly from their Lua code using this Doxygen-lua plugin. I also came across this Lua documenting page, which might also give you some mileage.

Great Job so far, hope I can honour it with some [great] coding

Cheers

Rich

Awesome job!

[graytest]

This is great help! Thanks a lot!

Before I got this I used Notepad++ to write the code and then ran a bat-file to execute the moai.exe with the moai config file and my own main.lua.

When I run my main.lua from Intellij it is run using the lua.exe. Can I change this somehow or should I keep running the bat file outside the ide? Thanks in advance!

Hi plandem!

Can you throw the builder into a git repository (or whatever preferred version control tool)? I was trying out the builder just now and came across a bug. Would love to be able to submit a patch.

[Jubaz]

Please, can someone explain step by step how to set up the IntelliJ to work well with Moai?

[Jubaz]

It's working now!! Thanks you very much!

But I still don't know how to run the application from IntelliJ.

[Jubaz]

It worked!!! Now I can start to coding!!

[jau]

Jubaz, I can execute lau files with moai interpreter, but...:

1) how to config intellij with moai autocomplete?
2) how to debug intellij + moai interpreter?

thanks in advance!
