The string context tracks references to derivations within a string.
|
||||
It is represented as an attribute set of [store derivation](@docroot@/glossary.md#gloss-store-derivation) paths mapping to output names.
|
||||
|
||||
Using [string interpolation](@docroot@/language/string-interpolation.md) on a derivation will add that derivation to the string context.
|
||||
For example,
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
builtins.getContext "${derivation { name = "a"; builder = "b"; system = "c"; }}"
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
evaluates to
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
{ "/nix/store/arhvjaf6zmlyn8vh8fgn55rpwnxq0n7l-a.drv" = { outputs = [ "out" ]; }; }
