**STATUS: WIP**
**STATUS: alpha**
Pure Nix flake utility functions.
@ -10,31 +10,54 @@ flakes.
## Usage
`flake.nix`
### `defaultSystems -> [<system>]`
A list of all the systems supported by the nixpkgs project.
### `eachSystem -> [<system>] -> (<system> -> attrs)`
A common case is to build the same structure for each system. Instead of
building the hierarchy manually or per prefix, iterate over each systems and
then re-build the hierarchy.
Eg:
```nix
eachSystem ["x86-64-linux"] (system: { hello = 42; })
# => { hello.x86-64-linux.hello = 42; }
```
### `eachDefaultSystem -> (<system> -> attrs)`
`eachSystem` pre-populated with `defaultSystems`.
### `mkApp { drv, name ? drv.pname or drv.name, execPath ? drv.passthru.execPath or "/bin/${name}"`
A small utility that builds the structure expected by the special `apps` and `defaultApp` prefixes.
## Example
Here is how it looks like in practice:
[$ example/flake.nix](example/flake.nix) as nix
```nix
{
description = "Flake utils demo";
edition = 201909;
description = "My flake";
inputs = {
utils = { type = "github"; owner = "numtide"; repo = "flake-utils"; };
inputs.utils = {
uri = "github:numtide/flake-utils";
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, utils }:
utils.eachDefaultSystem (system:
utils.lib.eachDefaultSystem (system:
let pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system}; in
rec {
packages = {
my-app = pkgs.callPackage ./my-app.nix {};
};
defaultPackage = package.my-app;
apps = {
my-app = flake.mkApp packages.my-app;
};
defaultApp = apps.my-app;
};
packages.hello = pkgs.hello;
defaultPackage = packages.hello;
apps.hello = utils.lib.mkApp { drv = packages.hello; };
defaultApp = apps.hello;
}
);
}
```
