Yarn.lock argument #6

Closed zimbatm closed 7 years ago

zimbatm commented 7 years ago

Hey,

this isn't working for my package yet but I wanted to get the idea across.

In my ideal world, developers can just install yarn and not be forced to use nix (yet) to update the package.nix in sync.

I thought about doing something similar to this, but thought that this would require an impure function. But I guess that you're quite right, and that this should work as well.

@moretea the PR has expanded a bit in scope but doesn't change the project fundamentally. Do you mind merging the existing changes?

I have a second branch where I tried moving the unpack phase into nix but that didn't go well because yarn does more than just unpacking.

Done! We could/should talk a bit at FOSDEM about how we should continue with this. I won't have time to work on this this week unfortunately
