node2nix fails on blank react app "sh: line 1: node-gyp-build: command not found" #307

Hello!

It's my first time using node2nix. I've made a blank react app by calling npx create-react-app my-app. I then called node2nix and nix-build -A package which failed with the following error message after a few minutes.

I'm having the same problem trying to port an existing app to nix.

I am having the same issue and looking at the commit history it feels like node2nix is abandoned. What are the alternatives?

RyanGibb commented 1 year ago

@alexvorobiev I haven't used it myself, so I don't know what state it's in, but https://github.com/nix-community/dream2nix might be a possibility.

@RyanGibb Yes I know about that one but from the documentation it feels like that is going to be some learning curve. Also the only documentation for node is under "v1" and only visible in the repo, not on the documentation site, so it is not clear whether it is obsolete or not.
