Example for extending the flake module about devenv HOT 8 OPEN

It does: https://github.com/sagikazarmark/xdevenv

from devenv.

@roberth maybe you can help here, how can additional devenv modules be specified?

from devenv.

After staring at the code for quite some time, I believe the only way I could achieve this is by adding modules here somehow:

I'm not sure how I could do that though.

@roberth any pointers would be greatly appreciated.

All NixOS modules can be extended further with the 'imports' key (array of files containing modules).

Have you tried doing that already?

from devenv.

@thenonameguy I haven't, but the challenge I see is that I don't want to extend the flake-parts module, I want to extend devenv directly. It's possible I'm missing something obvious though.

Not sure exactly in which way you want to extend it, but here's one:

• #720

I think that's what @thenonameguy wanted to suggest.

If the import needs to reference another repo, I could write something for the case where both repos are flake based. Otherwise I have to ask:

@domenkozar Can devenv.yaml import a devenv module from a flake attribute?

from devenv.

Thanks @roberth , I believe that's exactly what I was looking for.

If the import needs to reference another repo, I could write something for the case where both repos are flake based.

In my case, I'd like to reuse a set of modules across a number of repos, so yeah, I'm thinking something like this:

{
  inputs = {
    # ...
  }

  outputs = inputs@{ ... }: {
    devenvModules = {
      default = {};
    };
  }
}

And then import that module in a shell.

Let me give this a try and get back to you.

Does that work? :)
