Zed discord presence is an extension for Zed that adds support for Discord Rich Presence using LSP
Using LSP is a workaround for now (yeah, it's a bit hacky) but once Zed has proper extension support, I'll rewrite it.
rust is required for installing this extension.
The easiest way to get rust is by using rustup
Since zed-industries/extensions#1217 has been merged, you can simply download the extension in zed: extensions. Don't forget to give at least a ⭐ if you like this project :D
Dev installation
- Clone this repository
- CTRL + SHIFT + P and select zed: install dev extension
- Choose the directory where you cloned this repository
- Enjoy :)
You can configure state, details and git integration by changing Discord Presence LSP settings. This can be done in zed: open settings with following configuration:
The application_id
is required for the rich presence to work. It should be kept as is unless you have a specific reason to change it.
"application_id": "1263505205522337886"
The base_icons_url
is the base URL for all language icons. This URL points to the location where the icons are stored.
"base_icons_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xhyrom/zed-discord-presence/main/assets/icons/"
The state
option allows you to set the state message displayed in Discord. The placeholder {filename}
will be replaced with the current file name.
"state": "Working on {filename}"
The details
option allows you to set the details message displayed in Discord. The placeholder {workspace}
will be replaced with the current workspace name.
"details": "In {workspace}"
The large_image
option specifies the URL for the large image displayed in Discord. The placeholders {base_icons_url}
and {language}
will be replaced accordingly.
"large_image": "{base_icons_url}/{language}.png"
The large_text
option specifies the text displayed when hovering over the large image. The :u
modifier capitalizes the first letter of the language name.
"large_text": "{language:u}"
The small_image
option specifies the URL for the small image displayed in Discord.
"small_image": "{base_icons_url}/zed.png"
The small_text
option specifies the text displayed when hovering over the small image.
"small_text": "Zed"
The idle
settings configure the behavior when you are inactive.
The timeout
specifies the idle timeout in seconds (300 seconds = 5 minutes).
The action
determines what happens when you go idle:
change_activity
changes the activity to idle with the specified detailsclear_activity
hides the activity
The state
, details
, large_image
, large_text
, small_image
, and small_text
options specify the messages and images to display when idle.
"idle": {
"timeout": 300,
"action": "change_activity",
"state": "Idling",
"details": "In Zed",
"large_image": "{base_icons_url}/zed.png",
"large_text": "Zed",
"small_image": "{base_icons_url}/idle.png",
"small_text": "Idle"
}
The rules
option allows you to disable presence in specific workspaces. The mode
can be set to blacklist
or whitelist
, and the paths
array should contain the absolute paths to apply the rule to.
"rules": {
"mode": "blacklist",
"paths": ["absolute path"]
}
The git_integration
option enables or disables Git integration. When enabled, the extension
will display a button to open the Git repository.
"git_integration": true
{
"lsp": {
"discord_presence": {
"initialization_options": {
// Application ID for the rich presence (don't touch it unless you know what you're doing)
"application_id": "1263505205522337886",
// Base URL for all language icons
"base_icons_url": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/xhyrom/zed-discord-presence/main/assets/icons/",
"state": "Working on {filename}",
"details": "In {workspace}",
// URL for the large image
"large_image": "{base_icons_url}/{language}.png",
"large_text": "{language:u}", // :u capitalizes the first letter
// URL for the small image
"small_image": "{base_icons_url}/zed.png",
"small_text": "Zed",
// Idle settings - when you're inactive
"idle": {
"timeout": 300, // Idle timeout in seconds (300 seconds = 5 minutes)
// Action to take when idle
// `change_activity` - changes the activity to idle with the following details
// `clear_activity` - clears the activity (hides it)
"action": "change_activity",
"state": "Idling",
"details": "In Zed",
"large_image": "{base_icons_url}/zed.png",
"large_text": "Zed",
"small_image": "{base_icons_url}/idle.png",
"small_text": "Idle",
},
// Rules to disable presence in specific workspaces
"rules": {
"mode": "blacklist", // Can also be "whitelist"
"paths": ["absolute path"],
},
"git_integration": true,
},
},
},
}
You can also set any option to null
to unset it, except for base_icons_url
, rules
, and git_integration
.
