Running Biome with Deno

[JonathanTurnock]

Hey thanks so much for this plugin and Biome itself.

I had a little feedback around usage with Deno, while Deno does have a linter and formatter I find the coverage of features is poor for larger projects.

I wanted to use Biome with Deno for this reason but found it didn't play particularly nice with the symlink system and resulted in project configs with hardcoded paths most of the time not being detected unless hard coded. I am also on windows for what its worth :)

I settled on this config which is probably slightly not as intended but I wanted to log it as it does actually work fantastically.

Specifically setting the binary path to deno and the arguments to run -A npm:@biomejs/biome lsp-proxy allowed me to have a completely cross system and cross platform solution to starting the LSP proxy without having to worry where the binary is.

perhaps it would feel less hacky if there was an option to provide a custom command instead of a binary path.

You're very welcome to send a PR to the website, and extend it with your suggestions.

I am moving this to a discussion because this isn't a bug, and it's not something that involves Biome directly.

Questions to answer if you want to send a PR:

• why would a user want to use deno to run biome
• what are the issues with symbolic links
