A simple library for writing nix flakes in Liqwid Labs projects. The aim of liqwid-nix is to reduce duplication of shared code, while providing a flexible escape for when real changes need to be applied.
Since flakes built using liqwid-nix provide various command-line tools that are useful for development of the projects they live in, it is useful to have them available when entering a directory. nix-direnv helps with this. Setup instructions are available in the repo README. It is not standard practice to commit the .envrc, so you are required to create these yourself for every repository you clone. As described in the repo, it boils down to the same thing every time, echo "use flake" > .envrc && direnv allow.
This repository exposes nix templates that you can use to bootstrap your project. View the templates directory.
Use the following command to initialize a project using liqwid-nix:
nix flake init -t github:Liqwid-Labs/liqwid-nix/mainIn the case that there already is a flake.nix file, you must remove it or the template will refuse to be applied.
liqwid-nix uses nix run to expose various useful scripts. Try nix run .#help to list out the scripts available for a given project. (Not applicable in liqwid-nix itself)
