Is this something we could help contribute?

[hovsater]

Not until there’s a plug-in API available.

[fbjork]

@hovsater ok, is there an issue we can track for that?

[hovsater]

Yeah, there’s zed-industries/zed#5269 currently tracking that. 🙂

I'd also like to have Relay LSP support (which is done by an extension in VSCode) which can be utilized by calling the Relay compiler binary with the lsp command (ref)

[fbjork]

Why not add GraphQL support natively instead of plugins?

[JosephTLyons]

We will be going open source FairlySoon™️. After that, users will be able to propose languages we should bake into the editor, open PRs to do so, or help out with a plugin system so that we can have language extensibility!

[dannyhw]

when you say "users will be able to propose languages", does this now count as a language proposal? because this would be really nice to have.

In the micro, this lack of language-specific syntax highlighting is my biggest deal breaker for adopting Zed. I like the editor and its performance is excellent. However, without a plugin system or some way to extend the editor issues like this will continue to spoil adoption rates.

Zed extensions was just launched today, so there's an opportunity to add a GraphQL language extension!

It looks like not having a well-maintained Tree-sitter parser for GraphQL is the biggest blocker right now, since the official GraphQL syntax extension for VSCode is based on TextMate grammar

[11bit]

I made an extension with the parser recommended by tree-sitter website. Not sure how good the parser is but it seems to be not maintained anymore. If you find any bugs with parsing/highlighting you can report them in extenion's repo. I am going to work on it

[dannyhw]

could we get this to support graphql inline and not just graphql files? In typescript on vscode we get this with the gql function and things like this leading comment /* GraphQL */

Maybe feels like a separate, general, extension for setting another language/grammar on a block inside of an existing grammar?

zed does have injections.scm. However, I've found #8795 to be a blocker to doing things the "right" way.

The following is almost a workaround (the fatal flaw is that it de-registers the TypeScript LSP):

1. Copy languages/typescript and languages/tsx from https://github.com/llllvvuu/zed-extension-graphql/tree/feat/tsx into
   ~/Library/Application Support/Zed/extensions/installed/graphql/languages
2. Make the following edit to ~/Library/Application Support/Zed/extensions/installed/graphql/extension.json:

-    "GraphQL": "languages/graphql"
+    "GraphQL": "languages/graphql",
+    "TSX": "languages/tsx",
+    "TypeScript": "languages/typescript"

The GraphQL extension was added in #91.

Going to close this issue out.

Any further requests/issues can be directed to the extension repo: https://github.com/11bit/zed-extension-graphql.
