Is there a way to have auto imports in zed?

[abusada]

Loving zed, but I have come to heavily depend on auto import feature provided by https://github.com/NuclleaR/vscode-extension-auto-import in vscode, Is there currently a way to achieve the same result in zed?

I think this is possible using either code_actions or code_actions_on_format and the source.addMissingImports.ts code_action from the TypeScript Language Server. Side note, this is language specific.

@omarjatoi Any idea how we can configure this? I was not successful in finding a solution.

Totally code specific but without this feature I find using Zed Is not worth it which is a huge pity as it has so much to offer. But hunting down import locations is way slow when up to me. Unless I’m missing something ….

VSCode provides importing as a "quick fix" code action, which is often preferable to importing on save, because it lets the user select the correct import from multiple potential sources.

1. Open your settings.json file. Press Command + ,
2. Add this.

{
  "formatter": {
    "code_actions": {
      "source.addMissingImports.ts": true
    }
  },
 // Other settings here ...
}

Does this let you select from a list of imports, and does it work for other languages?

1. Open your settings.json file. Press Command + ,
2. Add this.

{
  "formatter": {
    "code_actions": {
      "source.addMissingImports.ts": true
    }
  },
 // Other settings here ...
}

What should this do? Add import as you type, when you save? I don't see it adding imports at all?

I am afraid the lack of auto-import (as a list to pick the correct one) is also a deal breaker for me
