Description

The Zed Edit project is looking to implement support for Angular, and there is a discussion here to under what is the best way to detect an Angular project.

I did my best to understand and describe how the VS Code Language Service extension does it in the issue linked above, but I am not sure how correct/wrong I am.

Feature Type

• [ ] Angular Language Service VSCode extension
• [x] Angular Language Service server

Describe the solution you'd like

Assistance with the Zed editor if possible, or helpful guidance

Your comment is correct. The extension activates on all TS or HTML files. Beyond that, there is short-circuit logic to check that the program for the given document contains @angular/core in the sources (isInAngularProject). There is other short-circuiting logic to check that a given request is in a context which the language service would have any Angular-specific information to avoid needlessly asking the language service for information when it won't have anything useful.
