Nix Templates

Templates I use for setting up language-specific development environments, based on Nix flakes.

To use these templates, run:

Golang

• gomod2nix for building the project
• Treefmt for project-wide formatting

mkdir my-go-proj && cd my-go-proj

# For Golang
nix flake init -t github:chzerv/nix-flake-templates#go

go mod init github.com/<username>/my-go-proj

Tip

# Build the project
nix build

Rust

• Fenix for installing toolchains and rust-analyzer
• Crane for building the project
  • Let's us build the project's dependencies in a separate step and thus, avoid rebuilding them whenever we build the project
• Treefmt for project-wide formatting

mkdir my-crate && cd my-crate
nix flake init -t github:chzerv/nix-flake-templates#typst

cargo init
cargo generate-lockfile

Tip

# Build the project (Cargo.toml and Cargo.lock must be already generated!)
nix build

# Clippy and cargo-audit
nix flake check

# Project-wide formatting
nix fmt

Gleam

Simple template that just installs Gleam, Erlang and rebar3, according to the Gleam docs

mkdir my-gleam-proj && cd my-gleam-proj
nix flake init -t github:chzerv/nix-flake-templates#gleam

gleam new .

Terraform

mkdir my-tf-proj && cd my-tf-proj
nix flake init -t github:chzerv/nix-flake-templates#terraform

LaTeX

mkdir my-latex-proj && cd my-latex-proj
nix flake init -t github:chzerv/nix-flake-templates#latex

Typst

mkdir my-typst-proj && cd my-typst-proj
nix flake init -t github:chzerv/nix-flake-templates#typst

TODO

• Rust
• Python
• Ansible
• Terraform
