I’m currently in the process of creating a plugin but I’ve noticed that a lot of plugin keywords like plugin or even DockWidgetPluginGui don’t have autocomplete.
My current work around for this is creating a custom type for each of the plugin datatypes that are missing structures. Even though this works, its still sloppy since I would have to manually go into the documentation every time something gets added or depreicated (I know I could use something like a json dump and pull the properties from there but I might do that in the future).
If anyone knows a cleaner/efficient and more offical way of doing this please let me know!

my go to is
local plugin: Plugin = plugin
Its contained within a single line

I tried that previously but it gives autocompletion for an Instance and not for Plugin.
See plugin doesn’t have a Parent property

i think the plugin should be Plugin so your actually using the var (on line 15, should have elaborated it.)

Plugin is the type, plugin is the var. They are using the correct name

I think that’s probably just inherited, which we can’t do much about.
All of the Plugin methods should be autocompletable, if you try them out.

I tried them but they don’t auto complete
Should auto complete to
plugin:GetSetting()

It shows up correctly for me. What script type are you editing?

I was usign a server script, however it doesn’t seem to have mattered because when I tried in a local script, it still worked correctly.
Have you got any beta features enabled?

If you try it in a new script, so the only code is the plugin = plugin stuff, does it work as expected?

Not really sure what else it could be.
Below is a file containing an empty baseplate with the code that I confirmed is working on my machine. Can you please check if it is working / not working for you?

Oh my god… I think this is disabled by default.
Autocomlete Plugin-security methods

That could probably do it.
You still need to add the local plugin: Plugin = plugin bit of code, otherwise nothing is provided to autocomplete to
