Format on save for ERB and Ruby files in Zed IDE

#ruby #rails #zed

Something that I really wanted when working with (Zed)[https://zed.dev] and Ruby on Rails was format on save ability for my .rb and .erb files. The setup is simple so I thought I'd give it a share:

First open your settings.json file with cmnd + , or going to Zed -> Settings -> Open Settings.

Then add a key for languages with the following:

{ ...other_settings_here, "languages": { "Ruby": { "format_on_save": "on", "formatter": { "external": { "command": "./bin/bundle", "arguments": [ "exec", "rubocop", "--auto-correct", "--stdin", "corrected.rb", "--stderr" ] } } }, "ERB": { "formatter": [ { "external": { "command": "sh", "arguments": [ "-c", "f=erblinttemp_$RANDOM$RANDOM.html.erb; cat > $f; erblint -a $f &>/dev/null; cat $f; rm $f;" ] } }, { "external": { "command": "htmlbeautifier", "arguments": [] } } ], "format_on_save": "on" } } }
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

There you have it format on save for your template files and ruby files ready to go.
