 @keiichi:matrix.org | think I kinda managed to package my typescript program with buildNpmPackage but on run I get
$ jkops --help
Error: Cannot find module '/nix/store/z4dmxdr8v12cy6fzk723f0p9gyr7rxi4-jkops-1.0.0/lib/node_modules/jkops/node_modules/@aws-sdk/util-utf8-browser/dist-cjs/index.js'. Please verify that the package.json has a valid "main" entry

usually I can manage this kind of issues with a bit of NODE_PATH shenaningan but the files dont seem to even exist in fd -uL dist-cjs/index.js /nix/store/z4dmxdr8v12cy6fzk723f0p9gyr7rxi4-jkops-1.0.0/. I can share the package{-lock}.json if it helps.

| @adis:blad.is | I had this idea today for a radically simple ingestion method for package-lock.json.
The idea is:
- Map over
package-lock.json packages, invoke correct fetcher
- Update
package.json & package-lock.lock to point to store paths
npm install
I have a PoC here: https://github.com/adisbladis/fetch-package-lock/blob/master/flake.nix#L78-L82
I'm wondering if there is anything obvious I've missed? It seems to easy/simple.
| 08:45:12 |
| @adis:blad.is | It certainly seems to be working alright, even for some larger stuff | 09:14:37 |
 Cobalt | Hmm, you'd need to alter the source, right? Or do you plan to replace the package lock with a linked version? | 09:53:57 |

Hmm, you'd need to alter the source, right? Or do you plan to replace the package lock with a linked version? I replace it with one where all the URLs are substituted with Nix store paths | 09:55:03 |
| Cobalt | Okay, that sounds nice. That might also be a neat way to work around the occasional npm cache re-download issues. | 09:58:34 |
 Wanja Hentze | adisbladis: we have a weird cursed JS codebase at work I could try this on | 10:27:22 |
| Wanja Hentze | it has several package.json files in the repo but is not a workspace | 10:27:35 |

| Miguel Suarez | Hello Nix Community! | 18:22:56 |
| Miguel Suarez | Is there a way to have a development environment created from a single file?, for example, entering an angular project and running a nix related command would give me a specific docker postgresql database and specific nodejs and npm versions that would go with the Angular project | 18:23:42 |
| Cobalt | You might want to look at arion | 18:32:26 |
 Marie | i think https://devenv.sh/ is probably the better choice | 18:32:49 |
