Introduction

A Makes project is identified by a makes.nix file in the top level directory.

A makes.nix file should be:

  • An attribute set of configuration options:

    1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
    {
  configOption1 = {
    # ...
  };
  configOption2 = {
    # ...
  };
}

  • A function that receives one or more arguments and returns an attribute set of configuration options:

     1
 2
 3
 4
 5
 6
 7
 8
 9
10
11
12
    {
  argA,
  argB,
  ...
}: {
  configOption1 = {
    # ...
  };
  configOption2 = {
    # ...
  };
}

In the next sections we document all configuration options you can tweak in a makes.nix.
