If you think you have found a bug or other problem with the library, or you would like to suggest a feature, you should submit an issue on the GitHub repository here. Before doing so you should make sure you are on the latest version of the library and check to see if an issue already exists for your bug or feature.

IDE Plugin

Lightbulb now has a plugin for IntelliJ-based IDEs (IntelliJ, Pycharm, etc) to help improve the developer experience by providing autocompletion and type checking not yet supported by other tools. More features such as command boilerplate generation and further code inspections are planned.

You can install the plugin from the Jetbrains Marketplace within your IDE. View the plugin here.
