This PR changes `Element::paint` to move self and introduces a new
`RenderOnce` trait, which renders into an element by moving self.
Elements are required to be `RenderOnce`, and `element_id` is now on
`RenderOnce` so we can get the id without moving self. The `child` and
`children` methods now expect `impl RenderOnce`.
```rust
pub trait Element<V: 'static>: 'static + RenderOnce<V> {
type State: 'static;
fn layout(
&mut self,
view_state: &mut V,
element_state: Option<Self::State>,
cx: &mut ViewContext<V>,
) -> (LayoutId, Self::State);
fn paint(
self,
bounds: Bounds<Pixels>,
view_state: &mut V,
element_state: &mut Self::State,
cx: &mut ViewContext<V>,
);
fn into_any(self) -> AnyElement<V> {
AnyElement::new(self)
}
}
pub trait RenderOnce<V: 'static>: Sized {
type Element: Element<V> + 'static;
fn element_id(&self) -> Option<ElementId>;
fn render_once(self) -> Self::Element;
// default helpers ...
}
```
To make a type a component, you can add `#[derive(RenderOnce)]`, which
will require your type to implement the `Component` trait:
```rust
pub trait Component<V: 'static>: 'static {
type Rendered: RenderOnce<V>;
fn render(self, view: &mut V, cx: &mut ViewContext<V>) -> Self::Rendered;
}
```
I'm satisfied with this being what we open source for elements, aside
from maybe adding a `StatefulComponent` trait that uses element state.
Things finally feel like they slot into a coherent and simple narrative.

Welcome to Zed, a lightning-fast, collaborative code editor that makes your dreams come true.
Development tips
Dependencies
-
Install Xcode from https://apps.apple.com/us/app/xcode/id497799835?mt=12, and accept the license:
sudo xcodebuild -license -
Install homebrew, node and rustup-init (rustup, rust, cargo, etc.)
/bin/bash -c "$(curl -fsSL https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Homebrew/install/HEAD/install.sh)" brew install node rustup-init rustup-init # follow the installation steps -
Install postgres and configure the database
brew install postgresql@15 brew services start postgresql@15 psql -c "CREATE ROLE postgres SUPERUSER LOGIN" postgres psql -U postgres -c "CREATE DATABASE zed" -
Install the
LiveKitserver, thePostgRESTAPI server, and theforemanprocess supervisor:brew install livekit brew install postgrest brew install foreman -
Ensure the Zed.dev website is checked out in a sibling directory and install its dependencies:
cd .. git clone https://github.com/zed-industries/zed.dev cd zed.dev && npm install npm install -g vercel -
Return to Zed project directory and Initialize submodules
cd zed git submodule update --init --recursive -
Set up a local
zeddatabase and seed it with some initial users:Create a personal GitHub token to run
script/bootstraponce successfully: the token needs to have an access to private repositories for the script to work (repoOAuth scope). Then delete that token.GITHUB_TOKEN=<$token> script/bootstrap -
Now try running zed with collaboration disabled:
cargo run
Common errors
xcrun: error: unable to find utility "metal", not a developer tool or in PATH- You need to install Xcode and then run:
xcode-select --switch /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer - (see https://github.com/gfx-rs/gfx/issues/2309)
- You need to install Xcode and then run:
Testing against locally-running servers
Start the web and collab servers:
foreman start
If you want to run Zed pointed at the local servers, you can run:
script/zed-local
Dump element JSON
If you trigger cmd-alt-i, Zed will copy a JSON representation of the current window contents to the clipboard. You can paste this in a tool like DJSON to navigate the state of on-screen elements in a structured way.
Licensing
We use cargo-about to automatically comply with open source licenses. If CI is failing, check the following:
- Is it showing a
no license specifiederror for a crate you've created? If so, addpublish = falseunder[package]in your crate's Cargo.toml. - Is the error
failed to satisfy license requirementsfor a dependency? If so, first determine what license the project has and whether this system is sufficient to comply with this license's requirements. If you're unsure, ask a lawyer. Once you've verified that this system is acceptable add the license's SPDX identifier to theacceptedarray inscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml. - Is
cargo-aboutunable to find the license for a dependency? If so, add a clarification field at the end ofscript/licenses/zed-licenses.toml, as specified in the cargo-about book.
Wasm Plugins
Zed has a Wasm-based plugin runtime which it currently uses to embed plugins. To compile Zed, you'll need to have the wasm32-wasi toolchain installed on your system. To install this toolchain, run:
rustup target add wasm32-wasi
Plugins can be found in the plugins folder in the root. For more information about how plugins work, check the Plugin Guide in crates/plugin_runtime/README.md.
