Library

Snowfall Lib automatically passes your merged library to all other parts of your flake. This means that you can access your own library with lib.my-namespace or any library from your flake inputs with lib.my-input. The namespace for your library and packages can be configured with snowfall.namespace.

To create a library, add a new directory to your lib directory or use the base lib directory.

# Create a directory in the `lib` directory for library methods that will be merged.
mkdir -p ./lib/my-lib

Now create the Nix file for the lib at lib/my-lib/default.nix (or lib/default.nix).

{
    # This is the merged library containing your namespaced library as well as all libraries from
    # your flake's inputs.
    lib,

    # Your flake inputs are also available.
    inputs,

    # Additionally, Snowfall Lib's own inputs are passed. You probably don't need to use this!
    snowfall-inputs,
}:
{
    # This will be available as `lib.my-namespace.my-helper-function`.
    my-helper-function = x: x;

    my-scope = {
        # This will be available as `lib.my-namespace.my-scope.my-scoped-helper-function`.
        my-scoped-helper-function = x: x;
    };
}

This library will be made available on your flake’s lib output.
