is Table Literal type support multiple line ?

[xiangnanscu]

I've a function accepting an option table with many fields:

local function foo(opts)
end

foo { delete: 1
    distinct: 1
    from: 1
    group: 1
    having: 1
    insert: 1
    limit: 1
    offset: 1
    order: 1
    select: 1
    table_name: 1
    update: 1
    using: 1
    where: 1
    with: 1
}

Do I need define opts type in one line as below ?

---@alias sql_options {delete: number, distinct: number, ...., with: number}

A bit confused here since you use foo as both a function name and table name. What are you looking to do?

For the table, you'll want a ---@type table<string, integer>. Or combine that with an alias

---@alias sql_options
---| "delete"
---| "distinct"
---| "from"
---| "group"
---| "having"
---| "insert"
---| "limit"
---| "offset"
---| "order"
---| "select"
---| "table_name"
---| "update"
---| "using"
---| "where"
---| "with"

---@type table<sql_options, integer>
foo = {
    distinct = 1,
    from = 1,
    group = 1,
    having = 1,
    insert = 1,
    limit = 1,
    offset = 1,
    order = 1,
    select = 1,
    table_name = 1,
    update = 1,
    using = 1,
    where = 1,
    with = 1,
}

In terms of a function, you want to pass in multiple options, you'll need ...

---@vararg sql_options
local function handleOpts(...)
    local opts = {...}
end

handleOpts("from", "group")

and have your function process the list using the lookup in the foo table to get the associated value.

by writing foo {...} I mean foo({...})

[xiangnanscu]

sorry, I mean:

foo { delete= 1
    distinct= 1
    ...
    with= 1
}

I switch between js and lua sometimes forget the syntax

If you are accepting the options as a table, I recommend using @class

---@class Options
---@field page number
---@field active boolean


---@param opts Options
local function acceptOptions(opts) end

acceptOptions({
	page = 1,
	active = false
})

Note: to receive completions when providing options when calling acceptOptions(), you will have to press CTRL + Space as it will not automatically suggest completions.

Thanks. I type acceptOptions() and focus in the bracket and press CTRL + Space nothing happens. Win 10 WSL.

wow, I use luajit 2.1. the syntax foo(opts:{}) is illegal for me.what's version of your lua?

[xiangnanscu]

I've tried exactly as you showed in the picture. I noticed that the background color of token :Options and opts: in your picture is light gray but this is not my case.
