 kdobieder | Well I'd like to pass some things to the flake and this is what I came up with:
{
description = "Custom Flake";
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-24.11";
nixpkgs-unstable.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
myvendor-scripts.url = "git+https://git.myvendor.de/linux/scripts";
};
outputs = { nixpkgs, nixpkgs-unstable, myvendor-scripts, ... }: let
getModule = {system, flakefolder}: let
homeManagerModule = import ./modules {
lib = nixpkgs.lib;
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
pkgs-unstable = nixpkgs-unstable.legacyPackages.${system};
flakefolder = flakefolder;
myvendor-scripts = myvendor-scripts;
};
in {
home-manager = homeManagerModule ;
};
in {
getModule = getModule;
};
}
But this way I have to define everything a would need - like lib, config, etc. Doesn't seem to be a good solution. Am I missing something?

 dramforever | just don't pass it lib, config, etc | 11:27:18 |
| dramforever | modules are supposed to be a function | 11:27:30 |
| dramforever | ideally, module inputs can be set through options | 11:29:09 |
| kdobieder | How would that be done? | 11:29:44 |
| dramforever | https://nixos.org/manual/nixos/stable/#sec-writing-modules | 11:31:35 |
| kdobieder | I don't see how that mentions passing options from a consuming flake to an imported home manager module. | 11:33:47 |
| dramforever | there is no mention of that because that has nothing to do with flakes | 11:34:20 |
| dramforever | when you have something like in a "consuming flake"
homeConfigurations.dram = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
...
modules = [
foo
bar
./home.nix
];
};
all three modules are on equal footing, they can each have options and config, and any one module can set the values of options defined in any module

| 11:36:25 |
| dramforever | do note that you can't have the value of an option affect the definition of options themselves (so, in short, no using config in imports or options) | 11:37:20 |
| kdobieder | Okay, I see. The problem I have is that I want to pass a custom variable to bar for example. | 11:37:33 |
