Usage

Add the flake input

mnw.url = "github:Gerg-L/mnw";

or fetch this repo and then import the default.nix

Then use one of the modules or mnw.lib.wrap

Wrapper function

The wrapper takes two arguments:

• A valid instance of pkgs. Or an attrset of specialArgs which must contain pkgs
• A module containing your config

mnw.lib.wrap pkgs {
  # Your config
};

Or if your config is a separate file

neovim = mnw.lib.wrap pkgs ./config.nix;

Or if you want to pass specialArgs to your module

neovim = mnw.lib.wrap {
  inherit inputs pkgs;
  myLib = self.lib;
} ./config.nix;

TIP

mnw.lib.wrap uses evalModules, so you can use the full module system

Then add it to environment.systemPackages or users.users.<name>.packages or anywhere you can add a package

Modules

Import mnw.<module>.mnw into your config

Where <module> is:

nixosModules for NixOS,

darwinModules for nix-darwin

homeManagerModulesfor home-manager

Then use the programs.mnw options

programs.mnw = {
  enable = true;
  #config options
};
# or
programs.mnw = ./config.nix;

TIP

programs.mnw is a submodule so you can use the fully module system

and mnw will install the wrapped neovim to environment.systemPackages or home.packages

Alternatively set programs.mnw.enable = false; and add config.programs.mnw.finalPackage where you want manually

Dev mode

To setup hot reloading for quicker neovim config iteration:

Put your config plugin in plugins.dev,

plugins = {
  dev.myconfig = {
    pure = "myconfig";
    impure = "/home/user/nix-config/nvim";
  };
};

Then you can use the .devMode attribute of the created neovim package

For example nix shell .#neovim.devMode or nix shell .#nixosConfigurations.hostname.config.programs.mnw.finalPackage.devMode

Which allows you to make changes to your neovim config without rebuilding your system/home-manager/neovim (you still have to restart your neovim)

See the examples

Lua variables

Currently mnw only has one lua global variable set

mnw which is a table which contains configDir

Which is the path to the generated config directory of mnw

You can build/view this directory by building the .configDir of the mnw package
