| piqu | is it possible to import files from the nixDir like flake-parts does it? | 11:12:34 |
| accelbread | I'm not sure how flake-parts does it (didn't have auto-importing last time I looked at it) | 16:17:16 |
| accelbread | what do you mean by importing files? | 16:17:50 |
| piqu | In reply to @accelbread:matrix.org
what do you mean by importing files? I mean when you use it with import-tree | 16:31:30 |
| accelbread | not sure what thats doing, but in flakelight you can set all the options by loading files from nixDir | 17:51:18 |

| Niclas Overby Ⓝ | Hi accelbread !
Have you considered supporting something like this in Flakelight, so that input overlays can be moved to the withOverlays folder? | 10:22:56 |
| Niclas Overby Ⓝ | And actually the same for lib, so you can use pkgs in lib | 10:25:48 |

| accelbread | that should already work, right? | 14:36:21 |
| Niclas Overby Ⓝ | It seems to cause an infinite recursion | 14:39:24 |

| accelbread | Ah, I see. I'll take a look | 14:41:40 |
| accelbread | interestingly, something like the following in nix/withOverlays/default.nix works:
final: prev: (prev.lib.composeManyExtensions [
prev.inputs.nixgl.overlays.default
prev.inputs.emacs-overlay.overlays.package
prev.inputs.self.overlays.overrides
prev.inputs.self.overlays.lix
]) final prev
So computing the module arguments is triggering evaluation of withOverlays... hmm
| 15:10:09 |
| Niclas Overby Ⓝ | Does it make sense that this is supported?: (How does Flakelight know whether it is an overlay or a function to setup multiple overlays, like in my example ?)
withOverlays = overlay;
Shouldn't it only support?:
withOverlays = [overlay, ...];
| 15:18:28 |
| accelbread | ah it's type is defined as optListOf overlay; if what its set to is a list, its used as is, if its not a list its put in one | 15:20:29 |
| accelbread | so withOverlays = overlay is automatically converted to withOverlays = [ overlay ] by the module system | 15:21:18 |
