Module lua 

Lua language parser implementation

This module provides Lua language support for Codanna’s code intelligence system, enabling symbol extraction, relationship tracking, and semantic analysis of Lua codebases.

Overview

The Lua parser uses tree-sitter-lua to provide support for Lua language features including functions, tables, metatables, and module patterns.

Key Features

Symbol Extraction

• Functions: Global and local function declarations
• Methods: Colon-syntax methods with implicit self
• Tables: Table constructors and class-like patterns
• Variables: Local and global variable declarations
• Fields: Table field definitions

Lua-Specific Language Features

• Module System: require() pattern for imports
• Visibility: local keyword and underscore prefix conventions
• Tables as Classes: Metatable-based OOP patterns
• Colon Syntax: Method calls with implicit self parameter

Module Components

• parser: Core tree-sitter integration and symbol extraction
• behavior: Lua-specific language behaviors and formatting rules
• definition: Language registration and tree-sitter node mappings
• resolution: Symbol resolution and scope management

Example Usage

use codanna::parsing::lua::{LuaParser, LuaBehavior};
use codanna::parsing::{LanguageParser, LanguageBehavior};

let parser = LuaParser::new();
let behavior = LuaBehavior::new();
