How to turn automatic typing on in visual studio code

typing in general can utilize the Lua Language Server by Sumneko. https://luals.github.io/

is it always automatic? I can't remember if it is ever automatic because I usually only use it to describe functions and stuff lol but give it a looksie

[marsh lynx]

if you are adding a definition file (file only used for defining annotations) then yes

but if you are just adding a traditional module (with annotations or not) that you will require directly, then no

if you use sumneko's then yes

but if you're like actually looking to do this for luau typing (not lua), why not just use roblox
