• Language server: Deno Language Server

Deno Configuration

To use the Deno Language Server with TypeScript and TSX files, you will likely wish to disable the default language servers and enable deno by adding the following to your settings.json:

{
  "lsp": {
    "deno": {
      "settings": {
        "deno": {
          "enable": true
        }
      }
    }
  },
  "languages": {
    "JavaScript": {
      "language_servers": [
        "deno",
        "!typescript-language-server",
        "!vtsls",
        "!eslint"
      ],
      "formatter": "language_server"
    },
    "TypeScript": {
      "language_servers": [
        "deno",
        "!typescript-language-server",
        "!vtsls",
        "!eslint"
      ],
      "formatter": "language_server"
    },
    "TSX": {
      "language_servers": [
        "deno",
        "!typescript-language-server",
        "!vtsls",
        "!eslint"
      ],
      "formatter": "language_server"
    }
  }
}

See Configuring supported languages in the Zed documentation for more information.

Configuration completion

To get completions for deno.json or package.json you can add the following to your settings.json: (More info here https://zed.dev/docs/languages/json)

            {
              "fileMatch": [
                "deno.json",
                "deno.jsonc"
              ],
              "url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/denoland/deno/refs/heads/main/cli/schemas/config-file.v1.json"
            },
            {
              "fileMatch": [

              ],
              "url": "https://www.schemastore.org/package"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    }
  }
