## How it works ## How it works
The idea is to use a fork of `nixdoc`to generate json data from all functions. That have the `Type` field which is currently supported from nixdoc. ### Indexers:
View the prototype [here](https://noogle.dev) Data collections need to be up-to-date
Those collections are then combined and dumped somewhere (db / json)
For the indexing i currently use:
- Nixdoc (a fork) to collect nixpkgs.lib informations
- nix __dump-builtins + builtins-types.json for the nix builtins
As some parts of nix already have nixos modules their input/output can be discovered. I still lack some tool to integrate that into noogle.
### Search:
- haskell-like types are parsed and splitted between input and ouput
- text search, looks in all metadata fields for an exact matching word or character sequence. I dont have elastic search yet.
