# Zed Beancount

This extension adds support for the [Beancount](https://github.com/beancount/beancount) language.

## Setup

By default this extension just provides syntax highlighting for `.beancount` and `.bean` files, but also optional support for [`beancount-language-server`](https://github.com/polarmutex/beancount-language-server) as well.

To use that you will need `beancount` and `beancount-language-server` available in your path. For example, on mac:

```

brew install beancount beancount-language-server

```

With that installed Zed will show Diagnostic information inline and in the Zed Diagnostics Panel like this:

## Configuration

You can configure the beancount-language-server by adding initialization options to either your project settings or global Zed settings:

```json

// Project-specific: .zed/settings.json

// Global: ~/.config/zed/settings.json

{

  "lsp": {

    "beancount": {

      "initialization_options": {

        "journal_file": "/path/to/main.beancount"

      }

    }

  }

}

```

### Custom Binary Path

By default, the extension searches for `beancount-language-server` in your system PATH. If you need to use a custom binary location, you can configure it:

```json

{

  "lsp": {

    "beancount": {

      "binary": {

        "path": "/custom/path/to/beancount-language-server",

        "arguments": ["--debug"],

        "env": {

          "CUSTOM_VAR": "value"

        }

      }

    }

  }

}

```

Configuration options:

- `path`: Absolute path to the beancount-language-server binary (optional, defaults to searching PATH)

- `arguments`: Additional command-line arguments to pass to the language server (optional)

- `env`: Additional environment variables to set for the language server process (optional)
