# Flake Inputs
|
|
|
|
The `inputs` section in `flake.nix` is an attribute set used to specify the dependencies of the current flake. There are various types of inputs, as shown in the examples below:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
inputs = {
|
|
# GitHub repository as the data source, specifying the master branch.
|
|
# This is the most common input format.
|
|
nixpkgs.url = "github:Mic92/nixpkgs/master";
|
|
# Git URL, applicable to any Git repository using the https/ssh protocol.
|
|
git-example.url = "git+https://git.somehost.tld/user/path?ref=branch";
|
|
# Similar to fetching a Git repository, but using the ssh protocol
|
|
# with key authentication. Also uses the shallow=1 parameter
|
|
# to avoid copying the .git directory.
|
|
ssh-git-example.url = "git+ssh://git@github.com/ryan4yin/nix-secrets.git?shallow=1";
|
|
# It's also possible to directly depend on a local Git repository.
|
|
git-directory-example.url = "git+file:/path/to/repo?shallow=1";
|
|
# Using the `dir` parameter to specify a subdirectory.
|
|
nixpkgs.url = "github:foo/bar?dir=shu";
|
|
# Local folder (if using an absolute path, the 'path:' prefix can be omitted).
|
|
directory-example.url = "path:/path/to/repo";
|
|
|
|
# If the data source is not a flake, set flake=false.
|
|
# `flake=false` is usually used to include additional source code,
|
|
# configuration files, etc.
|
|
# In Nix code, you can directly reference files within
|
|
# it using "${inputs.bar}/xxx/xxx" notation.
|
|
# For example, import "${inputs.bar}/xxx/xxx.nix" to import a specific nix file,
|
|
# or use "${inputs.bar}/xx/xx" as a path parameter for certain options.
|
|
bar = {
|
|
url = "github:foo/bar/branch";
|
|
flake = false;
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
sops-nix = {
|
|
url = "github:Mic92/sops-nix";
|
|
# `follows` is the inheritance syntax within inputs.
|
|
# Here, it ensures that sops-nix's `inputs.nixpkgs` aligns with
|
|
# the current flake's inputs.nixpkgs,
|
|
# avoiding inconsistencies in the dependency's nixpkgs version.
|
|
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
# Lock the flake to a specific commit.
|
|
nix-doom-emacs = {
|
|
url = "github:vlaci/nix-doom-emacs?rev=238b18d7b2c8239f676358634bfb32693d3706f3";
|
|
flake = false;
|
|
};
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
outputs = { self, ... }@inputs: { ... };
|
|
}
|
|
```
