make-shell

Modules for mkShell! Set make-shells.<name> attributes to create devShells.<name> and checks.<name>-devshell flake outputs. Import and merge complex or shared modules! Create and share new options!

For example:

# aliases.nix
{
  config,
  lib,
  pkgs,
  ...
}: {
  options.aliases = lib.mkOption {
    type = lib.types.attrsOf lib.types.singleLineStr;
    default = {};
  };
  config.packages = let
    inherit (lib.attrsets) mapAttrsToList;
    alias = name: command: (pkgs.writeShellScriptBin name \'\'exec ${command} "$@"\'\') // {meta.description = "alias for `${command}`";};
  in
    mapAttrsToList alias config.aliases;
}
# flake.nix
perSystem = {...}: {
  make-shells.default = {
     imports = [./aliases.nix];
     aliases = {
       n = "nix";
       g = "git";
     };
   };
};

Installation

To use these options, add to your flake inputs:

make-shell.url = "github:nicknovitski/make-shell";

and inside the mkFlake:

imports = [
  inputs.make-shell.flakeModules.default
];

Run nix flake lock and you're set.

Options

perSystem.make-shell.imports

Modules to import into all shells created using make-shells

Type: list of raw value

Default: [ ]

Example:

[({pkgs, ...}: {
  additionalArguments = {
    doCheck = true;
    phases = [ "buildPhase" "checkPhase" ];
    checkPhase = \'\'
      ${pkgs.shellcheck}/bin/shellcheck --shell bash <(echo "$shellHook")
    \'\';
  };
})]

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells

For each attribute in this set, make-shell is called with the value, and the resulting package is added to the flake as a devShell attribute with the same name, and as a check with the name ‘${attribute name}-devshell’.

Type: attribute set of (submodule)

Default: { }

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.packages

Packages available in the shell environment. An alias of nativeBuildInputs

Type: list of package

Default: [ ]

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.additionalArguments

Arbitrary additional arguments passed to mkDerivation.

Type: attribute set of anything

Default: { }

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.env

An attribute set to control environment variables in the shell environment.

If the value of an attribute is null, the variable of that attribute’s name is unset. Otherwise the variable of the attribute name is set to the attribute’s value. Integer, path, and derivation values are converted to strings. The boolean true value is converted to the string "1", and the boolean false value is converted to the empty string "".

Type: attribute set of (null or boolean or signed integer or package or path or string)

Default: { }

Example:

{
  VARIABLE_NAME = "variable value";
  UNSET = null;
  EMPTY = false;
  TWO = 2;
  PATH_TO_NIX_STORE_FILE = ./my-file;
  COWSAY = pkgs.cowsay
}

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.finalPackage

The shell derivation resulting from passing the evaluated configuration to mkDerivation.

Type: package (read only)

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.inputsFrom

Packages whose inputs are available in the shell environment.

Type: list of package

Default: [ ]

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.name

Name of the shell environment derivation.

Type: string

Default: "nix-shell"

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.nativeBuildInputs

Packages available in the shell environment.

Type: list of package

Default: [ ]

Declared by:

perSystem.make-shells.<name>.shellHook

Bash code evaluated when the shell environment starts.

Type: strings concatenated with “\n”

Default: ""

Declared by:
