Magento 2 Snippets for Zed

March 31, 2026 · View on GitHub

Magento 2 and Hyvä snippets for the Zed editor.

Covers the boilerplate you write every day, from phtml headers and CSP script tags to layout XML, di.xml, and system.xml.

Installation

Via Zed Extensions

Open Zed and go to the Extensions panel (cmd+shift+x).
Search for "Magento 2 Snippets" and click "Install".

Via Developer install

Requires rustup (Rust must be installed via rustup specifically, not Homebrew or other package managers).

Clone this repository to your local machine.
Open Zed and go to the Extensions panel (cmd+shift+x).
Click "Install Dev Extension" at the top of the panel.
Select the folder where you cloned this repository.

Zed will load the extension directly from that folder. Any changes you make to the snippet files are picked up after reloading the extension from the Extensions panel.

Recommended setting

To show snippets at the top of the autocomplete list, add this to your Zed settings:

{
    "snippet_sort_order": "top"
}

This can also be scoped per language if you only want it for PHP and XML:

{
    "languages": {
        "PHP": { "snippet_sort_order": "top" },
        "XML": { "snippet_sort_order": "top" }
    }
}

Complementary extensions

This extension focuses on Magento 2 and Hyvä specific snippets.

For generic PHP and Alpine.js snippets useful in day to day development, install these extensions alongside it:

PHP Snippets for general PHP snippets
Alpine.js Snippets for Alpine.js directives and patterns
