Search for Flakes and additional attributes #338

Open ysndr opened 3 years ago

ysndr commented 3 years ago

324 adds support to search packages and options from a set of flakes

Additionally we might want to search for flake repositories themselves, de-facto standardized attributes (i.e. flake#lib.*) and apps exposed by the flake (i.e. flake#apps.*)

Are there "meta" attributes on the flake itself? E.g. if I wanted to add a description and a pretty name for my flake?

If not, it probably needs to be specced.

There is the flake description we could use, the flake name is currently the repo name Additionally a description filed can be specified in the toml documents. The descriptions are currently still ignored by the frontend.
