EmmyLua plugin as an extension

[Ketho]

I want to create a VS Code extension which provides EmmyLua annotations to the Lua language server.
https://github.com/Ketho/vscode-wow-api/tree/master/EmmyLua

Currently I'm trying to add a dependency and edit your Lua.workspace.library configuration.

"extensionDependencies": [
	"sumneko.lua"
]

let luaConfig = vscode.workspace.getConfiguration("Lua")
let path = "C:\\Users\\Ketho\\.vscode\\extensions\\ketho.wow-api-0.0.2\\EmmyLua"
luaConfig.workspace.library[path] = true

But this doesn't work since the configuration seems to be a proxy object. I also don't know how to use a relative path to my extension's emmylua folder.

What is the proper way to make an EmmyLua plugin/extension? I looked at https://github.com/sumneko/lua-language-server/wiki/Plugin-(Experimental) but that seems to be for something different 😕

*Sorry if this issue should be filed under https://github.com/sumneko/vscode-lua

You should use luaConifg.update(key, value).
Path can be found in ExtensionContext.extensionPath

Thank you, that worked for me 😄
I'd appreciate any advice or suggestions on my code.

let extension = vscode.extensions.getExtension("ketho.wow-api")
let path = extension?.extensionPath+"\\EmmyLua"

let luaConfig = vscode.workspace.getConfiguration("Lua")
let library: any = luaConfig.get("workspace.library")
library[path] = true
luaConfig.update("workspace.library", library, true)

Should I make a wiki article for other people who want to make an emmylua plugin or is this conventional knowledge?

Of course, this can help a lot
