nixos-modgen (WIP)

A work in progress Gleam binding generator for NixOS modules, to be used in Glistix.

This is work in progress (WIP)

This is a work in progress Glistix project. The intention of this repository is to attract interested contributors!

We discuss progress in our Zulip, such as in this thread. Feel free to join us! (There is a Zulip invite in the Glistix compiler's repository).

Testing

You can run the integration tests and check out generation results by:

1. Installing glistix, e.g. by running nix develop
2. Running cd integration/default-config
3. Executing ./test.sh
4. Generation results should appear in the result folder.

Importing from Nix

To import this project from Nix, first fetch its source (through a Flake input, using builtins.fetchGit, cloning to a local path, or some other way), import the Flake or the default.nix file, and run lib.loadGlistixPackage { }. For example:

let
  # Assuming the project was cloned to './path/to/project'
  modgen_test = import ./path/to/project;
  # Use 'loadGlistixPackage { module = "module/name"; }' to pick a module
  package = modgen_test.lib.loadGlistixPackage { };
  result = package.main { };
in result

Development

nix develop   # Optional: Spawn a shell with glistix if you don't have it
cd integration/default-config && ./test.sh # Run generation test
