Module Loader Intellisense

Help and Feedback Scripting Support
1

Hi! I was using module loaders for the first time, and I noticed that when you call ModuleLoader:Get(), IntelliSense doesn’t provide autocomplete suggestions. Does anyone know how to make IntelliSense recognize the returned module?

Also, is there a way to enable IntelliSense support for a shared variable as well?

Are you using your own module loader or a public one?

I’m using my own, do some public ones have intellisense or..?

You can add types so you can add the auto completion Type checking | Documentation - Roblox Creator Hub

I mean, when I retrieve a cached module using the Get function, intellisense doesn’t work.

--!strict

--// Services
local RunService = game:GetService("RunService")

--// Constants
local SERVER = "Server";
local CLIENT = "Client";
local BOTH = "Both";

--// ModuleLoader
local ModuleLoader = {}
local CachedModules = {}

function ModuleLoader.Get(name: string)
	return CachedModules[name];
end

function ModuleLoader._init(scripts: {Instance})
	for _, module in scripts do
		if (not module:IsA("ModuleScript") or module == script) then continue; end

		local runContext: string = module:GetAttribute("RunContext") or BOTH;
		if (runContext == SERVER and RunService:IsClient()) or (runContext == CLIENT and RunService:IsServer()) then continue; end

		local mod = require(module);
		CachedModules[module.Name] = mod;
	end
end

function ModuleLoader._start()
	for _, module in CachedModules do
		if (typeof(module) == "table") then
			local init: () -> () = module._init;

			if (init) then
				task.spawn(init, module);
			end
		end
	end
end

return ModuleLoader;

This has no reason to work at all, never will.
The CachedModules dictionary gets setup at runtime, not in edit mode, thats why you are not getting autocomplete.
