nushellWith

Build an isolated nushell environment with a specific set of plugins (from either nixpkgs or built from source) and nu libraries (from source).

See the examples folder for how to use it. Examples show usage with regular nix flakes and with devenv.

Outputs of this flake

• lib.nushellWith: a function that takes a description of a nushell configuration (which libraries and plugins to use) and outputs a nushell wrapper
• lib.makeNuLibrary: a function that takes a nushell library as a folder (e.g. obtained from github via one of your flake inputs flagged with flake = false;) and patches it to add some binary dependencies to its path when it is imported. It outputs the resulting patched folder as a derivation, ready to be passed to libraries in lib.nushellWith
• packages.<system>: a set of pre-packaged nushell libraries (see below)

Nushell libraries

This flake also packages (as Nix derivations) some nushell libraries published on Github, so their dependencies are taken care of for you. PRs to add new libraries to this list are very much welcome. Don't forget to add the URL of the library to wrap in the inputs of the flake.nix file too.

Limitations

• Only plugins written in Rust can be used
• Using plugins built from source with devenv only works with devenv >= 1.1

Naming conventions

• All names for external consumption (lib functions, packages) are camelCased
• All other names are snake-cased
