pkgs-by-name-for-flake-parts

pkgs-by-name-for-flake-parts is a flake-parts that can autoload Nix packages under a particular directory.

It transform a directory tree containing package files suitable for callPackage into a matching nested attribute set of derivations. Find the documentation and example in the manual.

Quick example how to use it:

{
  inputs = {
    flake-parts.url = "github:hercules-ci/flake-parts";
    nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";

    # (1) add `pkgs-by-name-for-flake-parts` input
    pkgs-by-name-for-flake-parts.url = "github:drupol/pkgs-by-name-for-flake-parts";
  };

  outputs = inputs: inputs.flake-parts.lib.mkFlake { inherit inputs; } {
    systems = [ "x86_64-linux" "aarch64-linux" "aarch64-darwin" ];

    # (2) import pkgs-by-name-for-flake-parts module
    imports = [
      inputs.pkgs-by-name-for-flake-parts.flakeModule
    ];

    perSystem = { config, self', inputs', pkgs, system, ... }: {
      # (3) point to your directory containing Nix packages
      pkgsDirectory = ./nix/pkgs-by-name;
    };
  };
}
