flake-compat

Usage

To use, add the following to your flake.nix:

inputs.flake-compat = {
  url = "github:edolstra/flake-compat";
  flake = false;
};

Afterwards, create a default.nix file containing the following:

(import
  (
    let lock = builtins.fromJSON (builtins.readFile ./flake.lock); in
    fetchTarball {
      url = "https://github.com/edolstra/flake-compat/archive/${lock.nodes.flake-compat.locked.rev}.tar.gz";
      sha256 = lock.nodes.flake-compat.locked.narHash;
    }
  )
  { src = ./.; }
).defaultNix

If you would like a shell.nix file, create one containing the above, replacing defaultNix with shellNix.

Call Parent Flake (second use)

To use, add the following to your subflake's flake.nix:

{
  inputs.flake-compat.url = "github:edolstra/flake-compat";
}

Afterwards, you can use it to call a flake from anywhere, including a parent directory, as follows:

{
  parent = flake-compat ../.;
}
