Overview
@deprecated marks a function, field, or class as deprecated. When your code uses that symbol, GLuaLS reports a deprecated diagnostic (hint by default) and shows strikethrough in completions.
Syntax
---@deprecated
---@deprecated Alternative or explanation
Basic deprecation
---@deprecated
function OldPlayerJoin(ply)
-- ...
end
Calls to OldPlayerJoin show a deprecation hint.
With a migration message
GLuaLS shows the message in the diagnostic and hover documentation:
---@deprecated Use PLUGIN:OnPlayerSpawn(ply) instead
function OldSpawnHandler(ply)
-- ...
end
Deprecated fields
---@class GameConfig
---@field maxPlayers number Max players allowed
---@field playerLimit number @deprecated Use maxPlayers instead
Deprecated class
---@deprecated Use NewPlayerManager instead
---@class OldPlayerManager
local OldPlayerManager = {}
Severity
The deprecated diagnostic uses hint severity by default (subtle underline). You can change it:
Use the settings menu instead of editing the JSON file directly. This helps you avoid config mistakes.
