## lib
This section covers important functions available in Flakelight's lib attribute.
### mkFlake
The outputs of a flake using Flakelight are created using the `mkFlake` function.
When called directly, Flakelight invokes `mkFlake`, as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
# Your flake configuration here
};
}
```
To call `mkFlake` explicitly, you can do:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight.lib.mkFlake ./. {
# Your flake configuration here
};
}
```
`mkFlake` takes two parameters: the path to the flake's source and a Flakelight
module.
If you need access to module args, you can write it as bellow:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. ({ lib, config, ... }: {
# Your flake configuration here
});
}
```
## Module arguments
The following module arguments are available:
- `src`: The flake's source directory
- `lib`: nixpkgs lib attribute
- `config`: configured option values
- `options`: available options
- `flakelight`: flakelight lib attribute
- `inputs`: value of inputs option
- `outputs`: resulting output (i.e. final flake attributes)
- `pkgsFor`: attrset mapping systems to the pkgs set for that system
- `moduleArgs`: All of the above arguments (passed to auto-loaded files)
## Additional pkgs values
Functions that take the package set as an argument, such as package definitions
or `perSystem` values, have several additional values available in the package
set.
The `src`, `flakelight`, `inputs`, `outputs`, and `moduleArgs` attributes are
the same as the above module arguments.
`inputs'` and `outputs'` are transformed versions of `inputs` and `outputs` with
system preselected. I.e., `inputs.emacs-overlay.packages.x86_64-linux.default`
can be accessed as `inputs'.emacs-overlay.packages.default`.
`defaultMeta` is a derivation meta attribute set generated from options. Modules
setting `packages.default` should use this to allow meta attributes to be
configured.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
## Module options
This section covers the options available to modules.
### inputs
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: AttrsOf FlakeInput
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `inputs` option allows setting the flake inputs used by modules. To set the
nixpkgs used for building outputs, you can pass your flake inputs in as follows:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
};
outputs = { flakelight, ... }@inputs:
flakelight ./. {
inherit inputs;
};
}
```
Or to just pass just the nixpkgs input:
```nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
};
outputs = { flakelight, nixpkgs, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
inputs.nixpkgs = nixpkgs;
};
}
```
### systems
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: [SystemStr]
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `systems` option sets which systems per-system outputs should be created
for.
If not set, the default is `x86_64-linux` and `aarch64-linux`.
To also support `i686-linux` and `armv7l-linux`, you would configure `systems`
as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
systems = [ "x86_64-linux" "aarch64-linux" "i686-linux" "armv7l-linux" ];
};
}
```
To support all systems supported by flakes, set `systems` as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. ({ lib, ... }: {
systems = lib.systems.flakeExposed;
});
}
```
To support all Linux systems supported by flakes, set `systems` as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. ({ lib, ... }: {
systems = lib.intersectLists
lib.systems.doubles.linux
lib.systems.flakeExposed;
});
}
```
2024-01-15 09:28:48 +01:00
### nixDir
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: Path
```
2024-01-15 09:28:48 +01:00
The `nixDir` option is `./nix` by default and sets which directory to use to
automatically load nix files to configure flake options from.
For a given option, the following is checked in order:
- If `${nixDir}/option.nix` exists, it is imported as the value
- Else if `${nixDir}/option` is a directory with a `default.nix`, it is imported
- Else if `${nixDir}/option` is a directory, it results in an attrset with an
attr for each importable item in the directory for which the values are the
corresponding items imported. An importable item is a file ending with `.nix`
or a directory containing a `default.nix`.
To enable using a directory for an attrset that includes a `default` attribute,
attr names can be escaped with an underscore. For example,
`${nixDir}/nix/packages/_default.nix` will be loaded as `packages.default`.
Aliases for options can be set with the `nixDirAliases` option. For example,
by default `nixDirAliases.nixosConfigurations = [ "nixos" ];` is set which means
"nixos" can be used instead of "nixosConfiguraions" for loading the files as
described above.
All options except for `nixDir` and `_module` can be configured this way.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
### outputs
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: AttrSet | (ModuleArgs -> AttrSet)
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `outputs` option allows you to directly configure flake outputs. This should
be used for porting or for configuring output attrs not otherwise supported by
Flakelight.
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
The option value may be an attrset or a function that takes `moduleArgs` and
returns and attrset.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
To add a `example.test` output to your flake you could do the following:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
outputs = {
example.test = "hello";
};
};
}
```
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
With the above, `nix eval .#example.test` will output "hello".
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
This can be used to configure any output, for example directly setting an
overlay (though this can be configured with the `overlays` option):
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
outputs.overlays.clang = final: prev: { stdenv = final.clangStdenv; };
};
}
```
### perSystem
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: Pkgs -> AttrSet
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `perSystem` option allows you to directly configure per-system flake
outputs, and gives you access to packages. This should be used for porting or
for configuring output attrs not otherwise supported by Flakelight.
To add `example.${system}.test` outputs to your flake, you could do the
following:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
perSystem = pkgs: {
example.test = pkgs.writeShellScript "test" "echo hello";
};
};
}
```
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
The above, with default systems, will generate `example.x86_64-linux.test` and
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
`example.aarch64-linux.test` attributes.
### nixpkgs.config
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: AttrSet
```
This allows you to pass configuration options to the Nixpkgs instance used for
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
building packages and calling perSystem.
For example, to allow building broken or unsupported packages, you can set the
option as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
nixpkgs.config = { allowBroken = true; allowUnsupportedSystem = true; };
};
}
```
### withOverlays
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: [Overlay] | Overlay
```
This allows you to apply overlays to the Nixpkgs instance used for building
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
packages and calling perSystem.
It can be set to either a list of overlays or a single overlay.
For example, to apply the Emacs overlay and change the Zig version, you can set
the option as follows:
```nix
{
inputs = {
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
emacs-overlay.url = "github:nix-community/emacs-overlay";
};
outputs = { flakelight, emacs-overlay, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
withOverlays = [
emacs-overlay.overlays.default
(final: prev: { zig = final.zig_0_9; })
];
};
}
```
You can use the values from the overlays with other options:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
withOverlays = final: prev: { testValue = "hi"; };
package = { writeShellScript, testValue }:
writeShellScript "test" "echo ${testValue}";
};
}
```
### packages
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
package: PackageDef
packages: (AttrsOf PackageDef) | (ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf PackageDef))
pname: Str
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `package` and `packages` options allow you to add packages. These are
exported in the `packages.${system}` ouputs, are included in `overlays.default`,
and have build checks in `checks.${system}`.
`package` can be set to a package definition, and will set `packages.default`.
`packages` can be set to attrs of package definitions.
By default, the `packages.default` package's name (its attribute name in
the package set and overlay) is automatically determined from the derivation's
`pname`. In order to use a different attribute name from the package pname,
to set it in cases where it cannot be automatically determined, or to speed up
uncached evaluation, the flakelight `pname` option can be set.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
To set the default package, you can set the options as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
package = { stdenv }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
pname = "pkg1";
version = "0.0.1";
src = ./.;
installPhase = "make DESTDIR=$out install";
};
};
}
```
The above will export `packages.${system}.default` attributes, add `pkg1` to
`overlays.default`, and export `checks.${system}.packages-default`.
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
You can also instead just directly set `packages.default`.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
To set multiple packages, you can set the options as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
packages = {
default = { stdenv }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "pkg1";
src = ./.;
installPhase = "make DESTDIR=$out install";
};
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
pkg2 = { stdenv, pkg1, pkg3 }:
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "hello-world";
src = ./pkg2;
nativeBuildInputs = [ pkg1 pkg3 ];
installPhase = "make DESTDIR=$out install";
};
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
pkg3 = { stdenv }:
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
stdenv.mkDerivation {
name = "hello-world";
src = ./pkg3;
installPhase = "make DESTDIR=$out install";
};
};
};
}
```
The above will export `packages.${system}.default`, `packages.${system}.pkg2`,
`packages.${system}.pkg3` attributes, add `pkg1`, `pkg2`, and `pkg3` to
`overlays.default`, and export corresponding build checks.
To use the first example, but manually specify the package name:
```nix
{
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
pname = "pkgs-attribute-name";
package = { stdenv }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
pname = "package-name";
version = "0.0.1";
src = ./.;
installPhase = "make DESTDIR=$out install";
};
};
}
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
### devShell
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type:
devShell: Cfg | (ModuleArgs -> Cfg) | PackageDef
Cfg.packages: Pkgs -> [Derivation]
Cfg.inputsFrom: Pkgs -> [Derivation]
Cfg.shellHook: Str | (Pkgs -> Str)
Cfg.env: (AttrsOf Str) | (Pkgs -> (AttrsOf Str))
Cfg.stdenv: Pkgs -> Stdenv
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The devshell options allow you to configure `devShells.${system}.default`. It is
split up into options in order to enable multiple modules to contribute to its
configuration.
The first three correspond to `mkShell` arguments.
`devShell.packages` is a function that takes the package set and returns a list
of packages to add to the shell.
`devShell.inputsFrom` is a function that takes the package set and returns a
list of packages whose deps should be in the shell.
`devShell.shellHook` is a string that provides bash code to run in shell
initialization. It can optionally be a function to such a string in order to
access packages.
`devShell.env` is for setting environment variables in the shell. It is an
attribute set mapping variables to values. It can optionally be a function to
such an attribute set in order to access packages.
`devShell.stdenv` allows changing the stdenv used for the shell. It is a
function that takes the package set and returns the stdenv to use.
`devShell` can alternatively be set to a package definition, which is then used
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
as the default shell, overriding the above options. It can also be set to a
function that takes `moduleArgs` and returns an attrSet of the above options.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
For example, these can be configured as follows:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
devShell = {
# Include build deps of emacs
inputsFrom = pkgs: [ pkgs.emacs ];
# Add coreutils to the shell
packages = pkgs: [ pkgs.coreutils ];
# Add shell hook. Can be a function if you need packages
shellHook = ''
echo Welcome to example shell!
'';
# Set an environment var. `env` can be an be a function
env.TEST_VAR = "test value";
stdenv = pkgs: pkgs.clangStdenv;
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
};
};
}
```
The above exports `devShells.${system}.default` outputs.
To add the build inputs of one of your packages, you can do as follows:
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
package = { stdenv }:
stdenv.mkDerivation {
pname = "pkg1";
version = "0.0.1";
src = ./.;
installPhase = "make DESTDIR=$out install";
};
devShell = {
inputsFrom = pkgs: [ pkgs.pkg1 ];
};
};
}
```
### devShells
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: (AttrsOf PackageDef) | (ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf PackageDef))
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `devShells` option allows you to set additional `devShell` outputs.
For example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
devShells.testing = { mkShell, coreutils }:
mkShell {
packages = [ coreutils ];
env.TEST_VAR = "in testing shell";
};
};
}
```
The above exports `devShells.${system}.testing` outputs.
### overlays
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
overlay: Overlay
overlays: (AttrsOf Overlay) | (ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf Overlay)
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `overlay` and `overlays` options allow you to configure `overlays` outputs.
Multiple provided overlays for an output are merged.
The `overlay` option adds the overlay to `overlays.default`.
The `overlays` option allows you to add overlays to `overlays` outputs.
For example, to add an overlay to `overlays.default`, do the following:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
overlay = final: prev: { testValue = "hello"; };
};
}
```
The above results in `overlays.default` output containing testValue.
To configure other overlays:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
overlays.cool = final: prev: { testValue = "cool"; };
};
}
```
The above results in a `overlays.cool` output.
### checks
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
checks: (AttrsOf Check) | (Pkgs -> (AttrsOf Check))
Check: Str | (Pkgs -> Str) | Derivation | (Pkgs -> Derivation)
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `checks` option allows you to add checks for `checks.${system}` attributes.
It can be set to an attribute set of checks, which can be functions,
derivations, or strings.
If a check is a derivation, it will be used as is.
If a check is a string, it will be included in a bash script that runs it in a
copy of the source directory, and succeeds if the no command in the string
errored.
If a check is a function, it will be passed packages, and should return one of
the above.
For example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
checks = {
# Check that succeeds if the source contains the string "hi"
hi = { rg, ... }: "${rg}/bin/rg hi";
# Check that emacs builds
emacs = pkgs: pkgs.emacs;
};
};
}
```
### apps
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
app: App'
apps: (AttrsOf App') | (Pkgs -> (AttrsOf App'))
App': Str | (Pkgs -> Str) | App | (Pkgs -> App)
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `app` and `apps` options allow you to set `apps.${system}` outputs.
`apps` is an attribute set of apps or a function that takes packages and returns
an attribute set of apps. If the app value is not an app, it is converted to a
string and set as the program attr of an app. If it is a function, it is passed
packages.
`app` sets `apps.default`.
For example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
apps = {
2023-09-21 05:52:43 +02:00
shell = "/bin/sh";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
emacs = pkgs: "${pkgs.emacs}/bin/emacs";
bash = pkgs: { type = "app"; program = "${pkgs.bash}/bin/bash"; };
};
};
}
```
Alternatively, the above can be written as:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
apps = { emacs, bash, ... }: {
2023-09-21 05:52:43 +02:00
shell = "/bin/sh";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
emacs = "${emacs}/bin/emacs";
bash = { type = "app"; program = "${bash}/bin/bash"; };
};
};
}
```
### templates
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
template: Template | (ModuleArgs -> Template)
templates: (AttrsOf (Template | (ModuleArgs -> Template))) |
(ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf (Template | (ModuleArgs -> Template))))
```
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
The `template` and `templates` options allow you to set `templates`
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs.
`templates` is an attribute set to template values.
`template` sets `templates.default`.
For example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
templates.test-template = {
path = ./test;
description = "test template";
};
};
}
```
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
### formatter
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: Pkgs -> Derivation
```
The `formatter` option allows you to set `formatter.${system}` outputs. It can
be set to a function that takes packages and returns the package to use. This
overrides the `formatters` functionality described below though, so for
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
configuring formatters for a file type, you likely want to use `formatters`
instead.
For example, to use a custom formatting command:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
formatter = pkgs: pkgs.writeShellScriptBin "format-script" ''
# Perform formatting (`nix fmt` calls the script with `.` as arg)
'';
};
}
```
### formatters
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: (AttrsOf Str) | (Pkgs -> (AttrsOf Str))
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `formatters` option allows you to configure formatting tools that will be
used by `nix fmt`. If formatters are set, Flakelight will export
`formatter.${system}` outputs which apply all the configured formatters.
By default, `nix` files are formatted with `nixpkgs-fmt` and `md`, `json`, and
`yml` files are formatted with `prettier`.
To disable default formatters, set the `flakelight.builtinFormatters` option to
false.
You can set `formatters` to an attribute set, for which the keys are a file name
pattern and the value is the corresponding formatting command. `formatters` can
optionally be a function that takes packages and returns the above.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
Formatting tools should be added to `devShell.packages` and all packages in
`devShell.packages` will be available for formatting commands.
For example, to set Rust and Zig formatters:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
devShell.packages = pkgs: [ pkgs.rustfmt pkgs.zig ];
formatters = {
"*.rs" = "rustfmt";
"*.zig" = "zig fmt";
};
};
}
```
2023-11-06 00:14:26 +01:00
### bundlers
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
bundler: Bundler | (Pkgs -> Bundler)
bundlers: (AttrsOf (Bundler | (Pkgs -> Bundler))) |
(ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf (Bundler | (Pkgs -> Bundler))))
```
2023-11-06 00:14:26 +01:00
The `bundler` and `bundlers` options allow you to set `bundlers.${system}`
outputs.
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
Each bundler value can be either a bundler function or a function that takes the
package set and returns a bundler function.
`bundlers` is an attribute set of bundler values or a function that takes
packages and returns an attribute set of bundler values.
2023-11-06 00:14:26 +01:00
`bundler` sets `bundlers.default`.
For example, a bundler that returns the passed package:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-11-06 00:14:26 +01:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
bundler = x: x;
};
}
```
As another example, a bundler that always returns `hello`:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-11-06 00:14:26 +01:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
bundlers = { hello, ... }: {
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
hello = x: hello;
2023-11-06 00:14:26 +01:00
};
};
}
```
2023-12-05 08:44:54 +01:00
To write the above using autoloads, can use the following:
```nix
# nix/bundlers/hello.nix
{ hello, ... }: x: hello;
```
### nixosConfigurations
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: (AttrsOf (NixOSArgs | NixOSConfig |
(ModuleArgs -> (NixOSArgs | NixOSConfig)))) |
(ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf (NixOSArgs | NixOSConfig |
(ModuleArgs -> (NixOSArgs | NixOSConfig)))))
```
The `nixosConfigurations` attribute lets you set outputs for NixOS systems and
home-manager users.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
It should be set to an attribute set. Each value should be a set of
`nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem` args, the result of calling `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`,
or a function that takes `moduleArgs` and returns one of the prior.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
When using a set of `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem` args, NixOS modules will have
access to a `flake` module arg equivalent to `moduleArgs` plus `inputs'` and
`outputs'`. Flakelight's pkgs attributes, `withOverlays`, and `packages` will
also be available in the NixOS instance's pkgs.
When using the result of calling `nixpkgs.lib.nixosSystem`, the
`config.propogationModule` value can be used as a NixOS module to gain the above
benefits.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
For example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. ({ lib, config, ... }: {
nixosConfigurations.test-system = {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [{ system.stateVersion = "24.05"; }];
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
};
});
}
```
### homeConfigurations
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: (AttrsOf (HomeArgs | HomeConfig |
(ModuleArgs -> (HomeArgs | HomeConfig)))) |
(ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf (HomeArgs | HomeConfig |
(ModuleArgs -> (HomeArgs | HomeConfig)))))
```
The `homeConfigurations` attribute lets you set outputs for NixOS systems and
home-manager users.
It should be set to an attribute set. Each value should be a set of
`home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration` args, the result of calling
`home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration`, or a function that takes
`moduleArgs` and returns one of the prior.
When using a set of `homeManagerConfiguration` args, it is required to include
`system` (`pkgs` does not need to be included), and `inputs.home-manager` must
be set. home-manager modules will have access to a `flake` module arg equivalent
to `moduleArgs` plus `inputs'` and `outputs'`. Flakelight's pkgs attributes,
`withOverlays`, and `packages` will also be available in the home-manager
instance's pkgs.
When using the result of calling `homeManagerConfiguration`, the
`config.propogationModule` value can be used as a home-manager module to gain
the above benefits.
For example:
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
```nix
{
inputs = {
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
home-manger.url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
};
outputs = { flakelight, home-manager, ... }@inputs:
flakelight ./. ({ config, ... }: {
inherit inputs;
homeConfigurations.username = {
system = "x86_64-linux";
modules = [{ home.stateVersion = "24.05"; }];
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
};
});
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
}
```
### nixosModules, homeModules, and flakelightModules
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
nixosModule: Module
nixosModules: (AttrsOf Module) | (ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf Module))
homeModule: Module
homeModules: (AttrsOf Module) | (ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf Module))
flakelightModule: Module
flakelightModules: (AttrsOf Module) | (ModuleArgs -> (AttrsOf Module))
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The `nixosModules`, `homeModules`, and `flakelightModules` options allow you to
configure the corresponding outputs.
The `nixosModule`, `homeModule`, and `flakelightModule` options set the
`default` attribute of the corresponding above option.
For example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. ({ lib, ... }: {
nixosModule = { system, lib, pkgs, ... }: {
# nixos module configuration
};
});
}
```
These can be paths, which is preferred as it results in better debug output:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. ({ lib, ... }: {
nixosModule = ./module.nix;
homeModules = {
default = ./home.nix;
emacs = ./emacs.nix;
}
});
}
```
### lib
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: AttrSet | (ModuleArgs -> AttrSet)
```
The `lib` option allows you to configure the flake's `lib` output.
For example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
lib = {
addFive = x: x + 5;
addFour = x: x + 4;
};
};
}
```
### functor
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Type: Outputs -> Any -> Any
```
The `functor` option allows you to make your flake callable.
If it is set to a function, that function will be set as the `__functor`
attribute of your flake outputs.
Flakelight uses it so that calling your `flakelight` input calls
`flakelight.lib.mkFlake`.
As an example:
```nix
{
2023-12-19 06:46:35 +01:00
inputs.flakelight.url = "github:nix-community/flakelight";
outputs = { flakelight, ... }:
flakelight ./. {
outputs.testvalue = 5;
functor = self: x: x + self.testvalue;
}
}
```
With the above flake, another flake that has imports it with the name `addFive`
would be able to call `addFive 4` to get 9.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
### meta
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
description: Str
license: Str | [Str]
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
The following options are available for configuring the meta attributes of the
default package for supported modules (such as flakelight-rust or
flakelight-zig) or for use in your own packages through the `defaultMeta` pkgs
value.
`description` allows setting the package description. By default it uses the
flake description, if found.
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
`license` lets you set the license or license. It may be a single string or list
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
of strings. These strings may be Spdx license identifiers or Nixpkgs license
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
attribute names.
### flakelight
2024-01-15 11:55:01 +01:00
```
Types:
flakelight.editorconfig: Bool
flakelight.builtinFormatters: Bool
```
2023-08-28 08:35:32 +02:00
This option has options for configuring Flakelight's defaults.
`flakelight.editorconfig` can be set to false to disable the editorconfig
check that is added if editorconfig configuration is detected.
`flakelight.builtinFormatters` can be set to false to disable the default
formatting configuration.
