Install from Zed's built-in extension marketplace, no separate CLI setup required.

So what is it?

This is an extension that connects Biome, a code quality and formatting tool, into Zed, a modern code editor. If you use Zed to write web code, installing this extension lets you automatically format and check your code for errors without leaving the editor. Biome is an all-in-one toolchain for web development that handles tasks like formatting code to look consistent, catching bugs before you run your code, and enforcing style rules. Normally you'd have to run Biome separately from your editor as a command-line tool. This extension brings those features directly into Zed, so you can see issues highlighted as you type and fix them with a few clicks, much like spellcheck in a word processor. The extension supports a wide range of web languages and file types: JavaScript, TypeScript, JSX, TSX, JSON, Vue.js, Astro, Svelte, CSS, GraphQL, and HTML. Whether you're building a React app, a Vue component, or styling a page, Biome can help keep your code clean and consistent. You install it through Zed's built-in extension marketplace, just search for "Biome" and add it. The official documentation has guidance on how to tweak settings to match your project's needs. This is useful for solo developers, teams, and anyone who wants to maintain code quality without thinking about it. Instead of manually running a formatter before committing code or waiting for a code review to catch style problems, the extension catches issues in real time and can even auto-fix many of them as you work.
