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.

There is #13115 (comment)

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

I'm using Zed with zero custom configuration and i found that just pressing:
Command + .

It works like a charm :D

Thank you! Not sure if this is new or if I we all just missed it.

Curious if there are any plans to add Python support as well?

TIL (replying to myself) - apparently it works partially. If you start typing a name and it pops up in LSP server suggestions, then completing the symbol will also auto-add import. However, if the entire name is already typed in, I couldn't find a way to trigger auto-import. Unlike JS/TS - there is no code action for it.
