Remembering all the built in ao functions and utilites can sometimes be hard. To enhance your developer experience, it is recommended to install the Lua Language Server extension into your favorite text editor and add the ao addon. It supports all built in aos modules and globals.

VS Code

Install the sumneko.lua extension:

1. Search for "Lua" by sumneko in the extension marketplace
2. Download and install the extension
3. Open the VS Code command palette with Shift + Command + P (Mac) / Ctrl + Shift + P (Windows/Linux) and run the following command:

4. In the Addon Manager, search for "ao", it should be the first result. Click "Enable" and enjoy autcomplete!

If you don't want to do this process for each of your workspaces, you can copy the Lua.workspace.library object from the generated workspace settings.json file to your global settings.json file.
