Moved all function-specific docs from `docs/lib/index.md` into RFC145 doc-comments. Added `lib.nixvim.lua.toLuaObject` to hold the public docs and serve as a stable impl of `toLua'` in case we decide to change its defaults.

## Accessing Nixvim's functions
|
|
|
|
If Nixvim is built using the standalone method, you can access our "helpers" as part of the `lib` module arg:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ lib, ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
# You can use lib.nixvim in your config
|
|
fooOption = lib.nixvim.mkRaw "print('hello')";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
If Nixvim is being used as as a home-manager module, a nixos module, or as a dawwin module,
|
|
our "helpers" can be accessed via the `config.lib` option:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ config, ... }:
|
|
let
|
|
helpers = config.lib.nixvim;
|
|
in
|
|
{
|
|
# Your config
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Or you can access the extended `lib` used in standalone builds via the `nixvimLib` module arg:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ nixvimLib, ... }:
|
|
{
|
|
# You can use nixvimLib.nixvim in your config
|
|
fooOption = nixvimLib.nixvim.mkRaw "print('hello')";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
This "extended" lib, includes everything normally in `lib`, along with some additions from nixvim.
|
|
|
|
**Note:** the `lib` argument passed to modules is entirely unrelated to the `lib` _option_ accessed as `config.lib`!
|
|
|
|
## Using a custom `lib` with Nixvim
|
|
|
|
When Nixvim is built in standalone mode, it expects `lib` to have Nixvim's extensions.
|
|
If you'd like to use a `lib` with your own extensions, you must supply it via `specialArgs`,
|
|
however you must ensure Nixvim's extensions are also present.
|
|
|
|
This can be achieved using the lib overlay, available via the `<nixvim>.lib.overlay` flake output.
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
# Example flake
|
|
{
|
|
inputs = {
|
|
# ...
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
outputs =
|
|
{ nixpkgs, ... }@inputs:
|
|
let
|
|
myCustomLib = nixpkgs.lib.extend (final: prev: {
|
|
# ...
|
|
});
|
|
myCustomLibForNixvim = myCustomLib.extend inputs.nixvim.lib.overlay;
|
|
in
|
|
{
|
|
# ...
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
