Now with Nix instead of TOML. Rewrite in progress...
Convert applications using Go modules -> Nix
From the Go project directory execute:
$ gomod2nixThis will create gomod2nix.nix which contains something like:
# Generated by gomod2nix
{ pkgs, lib, ... }:
{
schemaVersion = 4;
mod."github.com/go-openapi/validate" = { version = "v0.22.1"; hash = "sha256-xU2pyIwBlXZnb25gn9lnyE+IQLNXo1RCAB9jINjKVMo="; replacedPath = ""; };
}A sample default.nix which invokes the buildGoApplication (which can be created using the generate subcommand) is as follows:
{ pkgs ? (
let
inherit (builtins) fetchTree fromJSON readFile;
inherit ((fromJSON (readFile ./flake.lock)).nodes) nixpkgs gomod2nix;
in
import (fetchTree nixpkgs.locked) {
overlays = [
(import "${fetchTree gomod2nix.locked}/overlay.nix")
];
}
)
}:
pkgs.buildGoApplication {
pname = "argo-trash";
version = builtins.replaceStrings [ "\n" ] [ "" ] (builtins.readFile ./VERSION);
pwd = ./.;
src = ./.;
modules = ./gomod2nix.nix;
}For more in-depth usage check the Getting Started and the Nix API reference docs.
The announcement blog post contains comparisons with other Go build systems for Nix and additional notes on the design choices made.
