Export `autoGenFromInputs` module for `nix-darwin` #111

Closed Enzime closed 2 years ago

Enzime commented 2 years ago

I recently realized that there's little difference between NixOS, nix-darwin and home-manager's module systems, so modules should work across them as long as the options are implemented.

So yeah, like how legit is using darwinModules key? As far as I am aware flakes don't support darwin as it is right now thus people tend to use darwinModules even tho it is an 'unknown property', right?

Also if there is anything note-worthy in terms of darwin - I would love to hear it. This project has not really been tested on darwin :sweat_smile:

darwinModules is what nix-darwin's flake itself is using:

Flakes work fine on darwin, the only thing is just that nix flake show doesn't support nix-darwin but it doesn't support home-manager either, both homeConfigurations, darwinConfigurations and darwinModules all show up as unknown. I'm not sure if there are plans to fix this.

I've tested the autoGenFromInputs module on darwin and it works perfectly. The module should work on home-manager once my PR lands https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/pull/2677

It is actually not possible to fix this. Nix itself does not have such functionality
