 Emma [it/its] | ended up looking back into this, and yeah i figured out what makes it tick | 03:31:13 |
| Emma [it/its] | npmDeps = pkgs.importNpmLock { npmRoot = ./.; };
npmConfigHook = pkgs.importNpmLock.npmConfigHook;
instead of setting an npmDepsHash (yay, i can drop that file and its scripts now!) | 03:32:21 |
| Emma [it/its] | and it does massively cut down on build time for rebuilds (notably with a lot of packages on a slower connection) | 03:34:12 |

| antifuchs | I'm not familiar with pnpm or the nix tooling but I find myself needing to build a thing that uses pnpm (v10) in nix... is there something like importNpmLock or prefetch-yarn-deps for the pnpm ecosystem, or do I have to do the old "set hash to "", rebuild, copy&paste the hash" dance? | 04:00:02 |

(nixpkgs javascript docs seem to suggest it's only the latter?) | 04:01:01 |
| Emma [it/its] | i didnt even know about alternatives up until yesterday so... check the build-support folder in nixpkgs i would say? | 04:25:48 |
| antifuchs | Yeah, couldn’t find anything in there. Thanks for checking (: | 04:43:43 |

| dish [Fox/It/She] | @Tomodachi94 (they/them) got aws-cdk-cli building and running. Will submit a PR shortly(crediting you as co-author, since my code was started from your gist) | 19:22:51 |

| Emma [it/its] | hm, is there any way to inject more stuff into the npm config hook, or would i have to disable it and write my own instead? | 11:51:00 |
 Cobalt | As in more logic or more packages? | 12:05:52 |
| Cobalt | The latter can be done by patching the source, otherwise there's no known expansion mechanism afaik | 12:06:18 |
| Emma [it/its] | as in, i want to remove packages after the first install run | 12:12:02 |
| Emma [it/its] | (in particular, i want to remove sqlite3 under nix builds, and just using jq on the package.json didnt work) | 12:12:30 |
| Emma [it/its] | trying to use npm for this errors out with... an EIA_AGAIN | 12:14:11 |
| Cobalt | I don't think that will work with the npm config hook. in regards to altering the package.json with jq, iirc this may cause npm to (re)check the lockfile (as the locked dependency graph is changed) which can be an issue. | 15:46:52 |
| dish [Fox/It/She] | yeah if you change the package.json then it won't match the package-lock.json, so it won't work afaik | 17:26:38 |
| 25 Dec 2025 |
| Emma [it/its] | removing sqlite3 from packag-elock.json also didnt work fwiw | 02:02:19 |
| Cobalt | To clarify, do you want skip the Installation of an sqlite package or avoid the installed files being present in node_modules?
The first likely requires a patch of the source (package.json + lockfile). The latter could maybe be done in, e. G., preBuild.

| Emma [it/its] | im trying to skip the installation of sqlite alltogether | 08:07:51 |
| Emma [it/its] | * im trying to skip the installation of sqlite alltogether | 08:07:59 |
| Emma [it/its] | for now i just removed it from the package.json in the repo alltogether with npm (and made the app throw an error if it tries to use sqlite), and it cut down build time by 80%... lol | 08:08:55 |
 Sandro 🐧 | You may also need something like https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/blob/aec8307e9f85c5817135f39d8c388061c1fa620d/pkgs/by-name/up/uptime-kuma/package.nix#L32 for the final package | 09:02:11 |
