Formatting

To support automatically formatting your code, you can use JohnnyMorganz/StyLua, a Lua code formatter.

Install with:

# macOS via Homebrew
brew install stylua
# Or via Cargo
cargo install stylua --features lua52,lua53,lua54,luau

Configure formatting in Settings ({#kb zed::OpenSettings}) under Languages > Luau, or add to your settings file:
