dream2nix is a framework for automatically converting packages from other build systems to nix.
It focuses on the following aspects:
@ -30,12 +26,123 @@ The goal of this project is to create a standardized, generic, modular framework
The intention is to integrate many existing 2nix converters into this framework, thereby improving many of the previously named aspects and providing a unified UX for all 2nix solutions.
### Test the experimental version of dream2nix
(Currently only nodejs and rust packaging is supported)
1. Make sure you use a nix version >= 2.4 and have `experimental-features = "nix-command flakes"` set.
1. Navigate to to the project intended to be packaged and initialize a dream2nix flake:
```command
cd ./my-project
nix flake init -t github:nix-community/dream2nix#simple
```
1. List the packages that can be built
```command
nix flake show
```
Minimal Example `flake.nix`:
```nix
{
inputs.dream2nix.url = "github:nix-community/dream2nix";
outputs = { self, dream2nix }:
dream2nix.lib.makeFlakeOutputs {
systems = ["x86_64-linux"];
config.projectRoot = ./.;
source = ./.;
};
}
```
Extensive Example `flake.nix`:
```nix
{
inputs.dream2nix.url = "github:nix-community/dream2nix";
outputs = { self, dream2nix }:
dream2nix.lib.makeFlakeOutputs {
systems = ["x86_64-linux"];
config.projectRoot = ./.;
source = ./.;
# Configure the behavior of dream2nix when translating projects.
# A setting applies to all discovered projects if `filter` is unset,
# or just to a subset or projects if `filter` is used.
settings = [
# prefer aggregated source fetching (large FODs)
{
aggregate = true;
}
# for all impure nodejs projects with just a `package.json`,
# add arguments for the `package-json` translator
{
filter = project: project.translator == "package-json";
subsystemInfo.npmArgs = "--legacy-peer-deps";
subsystemInfo.nodejs = 18;
}
];
# configure package builds via overrides
# (see docs for override system below)
packageOverrides = {
# name of the package
package-name = {
# name the override
add-pre-build-steps = {
# override attributes
preBuild = "...";
# update attributes
buildInputs = old: old ++ [pkgs.hello];
};
};
};
# Inject missing dependencies
inject = {
# Make foo depend on bar and baz
# from
foo."6.4.1" = [
# to
["bar" "13.2.0"]
["baz" "1.0.0"]
];
# dependencies with @ and slash require quoting
# the format is the one that is in the lockfile
"@tiptap/extension-code"."2.0.0-beta.26" = [
["@tiptap/core" "2.0.0-beta.174"]
];
};
# add sources for `bar` and `baz`
sourceOverrides = oldSources: {
bar."13.2.0" = builtins.fetchTarball {url = ""; sha256 = "";};
baz."1.0.0" = builtins.fetchTarball {url = ""; sha256 = "";};
};
};
}
```
An example for instancing dream2nix per pkgs and using it to create outputs can be found at [`examples/d2n-init-pkgs`](./examples/d2n-init-pkgs/flake.nix).
### Documentation
Documentation can be found at [nix-community.github.io/dream2nix](https://nix-community.github.io/dream2nix).
Documentation for `main` branch is deployed to https://nix-community.github.io/dream2nix.
A CLI app is available if you want to read documentation in your terminal.
The app is available as `d2n-docs` if you enter the development shell, otherwise you can access it with `nix run .#docs`.
`d2n-docs` can be used to access all available documentation.
To access a specific document you can use `d2n-docs doc-name` where `doc-name` is the name of the document.
For example, to access Rust subsystem documentation, you can use `d2n-docs rust`.
You can also build documentation by running `nix build .#docs`.
Or by entering the development shell (`nix develop`) and running `mdbook build docs`.
