Aliases

It is common for flakes to provide a default package, shell, overlay, etc. However, by default Snowfall Lib will only create exports matching your directory structure. You can inform Snowfall Lib to create an alias export by setting alias in your call to mkFlake. Aliasing does not affect the original export, but creates a new export.

{
    inputs = {
        nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-24.05";

        snowfall-lib = {
            url = "github:snowfallorg/lib";
            inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
        };
    };

    outputs = inputs:
        inputs.snowfall-lib.mkFlake {
            inherit inputs;
            src = ./.;

            alias = {
                # Create an alias to export a default package.
                packages.default = "my-package";

                # Create an alias to export a default shell.
                shells.default = "my-shell";

                # Create an alias to export a default overlay.
                overlays.default = "my-overlay";

                # Create an alias to export a default template.
                templates.default = "my-template";

                # Create an alias to export a default NixOS module.
                modules.nixos.default = "my-nixos-module";

                # Create an alias to export a default Darwin module.
                modules.darwin.default = "my-nixos-module";

                # Create an alias to export a default Home module.
                modules.home.default = "my-nixos-module";
            };
        };
