EdgeJS extension for Zed code editor

Hello folks,

Since I met AdonisJS, I adopted it to be my main framework for building web apps, I would love to thank the team behind it for this amazing work.

Recently, I rediscovered Zed editor, which is the fastest code editor I have ever used in a while. The last fast code editor I have used was Sublime Text 3.

I wanted to start using Zed as my main code editor but unfortunately, it doesn't support EdgeJS syntax highlighting by default.

I started building a very basic Zed extension that adds this feature, I succeeded reaching a good result, but it's not the result I'm seeking.

If you're interested, I welcome you to contribute to the project.

    This looks great, Abdelmadjid!

    Is there any trick to getting it installed within Zed? I tried dropping the repo into Zed's extensions directory but it doesn't show within Zed itself.

      Hi Tom,

      Thanks for the support.

      First, I must let you know that the extension is not working properly now, it still needs some work regarding the correct highlighting.

      You can try the extension as follow:

      1- Clone the extension repo on your machine.

      2- Open Zed Extension manager: Zed → Extensions or directly using SHIFT+CMD+X

      3- Install Dev Extension where you can give it the folder where you cloned the extension repo.

      Let me know if you have any question.
