The Joule Rust Extension API

This crate lets you write extensions for Joule in Rust.

Extension Manifest

You'll need an extension.toml file at the root of your extension directory, with the following structure:

id = "my-extension"
name = "My Extension"
description = "..."
version = "0.0.1"
schema_version = 1
authors = ["Your Name <[email protected]>"]
repository = "https://github.com/your/extension-repository"

Cargo metadata

Joule extensions are packaged as WebAssembly files. In your Cargo.toml, you'll need to set your crate-type accordingly:

[dependencies]
zed_extension_api = "0.6.0"

[lib]
crate-type = ["cdylib"]

Implementing an Extension

To define your extension, create a type that implements the Extension trait, and register it.

use zed_extension_api as zed;

struct MyExtension {
    // ... state
}

impl zed::Extension for MyExtension {
    // ...
}

zed::register_extension!(MyExtension);

Testing your extension

To run your extension in Joule as you're developing it:

• Make sure you have Rust installed
• Have the wasm32-wasip2 target installed (rustup target add wasm32-wasip2)
• Open the extensions view using the zed: extensions action in the command palette.
• Click the Install Dev Extension button in the top right
• Choose the path to your extension directory.
