### Noogle is a simple Nix API search engine. It lets you search nix functions.

|
|
|
## Current Features
|
|
|
|
- [x] Beginners-friendly search for nix and nix-related functions
|
|
- Render documentation comments optimized for readability
|
|
- Search optimized for English language and nix function-names.
|
|
- [x] Filter by **type** signatures.
|
|
- Function types are parsed and interpreted.
|
|
- [x] Noogle also knows stuff that is not (yet) officially documented.
|
|
- Types of builtins. (including builtins.derivation)
|
|
- Can be extended via markdown contributions to noogle.
|
|
- Always shows the latest docs based on the main branch of nixpkgs.
|
|
- [x] Outputs Pre-rendered static html that is indexable by other search engines.
|
|
- [x] Wasm based performant search.

### Build this page
|
|
|
|
`nix build .#ui`
|
|
|
|
This page generates static html pages.
|
|
One page per api function.
|
|
|
|
It automatically includes meta tags for other search engines like google or bing.
|
|
|
|
Searching within the page is done via [pagefind](https://pagefind.app/) which is only available in the production build.
|
|
|
|
### Develop
|
|
|
|
`nix develop`
|
|
|
|
This command creates the node_modules folder
|
|
with all needed dependencies based on dream2nix.
