Installation

Prerequisites

• Nix with flakes enabled.
• nixpkgs-unstable: np is developed against nixpkgs-unstable and requires packages from it.
• Basic knowledge of Nix and NixVim.

Quick Setup

1. Clone or add np as a flake input in your project.

2. Create nix/nixvim.nix in your project:

{ np, ... }:

{
  imports = [
    np.nixvimModules.base
    np.nixvimModules.presets.javascript
    # Add more presets as needed
  ];

  # Your overrides
}

1. In flake.nix, build Neovim:

   [!IMPORTANT] np is built on nixpkgs-unstable and requires its consumer to provide packages from it. Using a stable version of nixpkgs will result in errors.

   {
     inputs = {
       # np requires nixpkgs-unstable.
       nixpkgs.url = "github:NixOS/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
       nixvim.url = "github:nix-community/nixvim";
       np.url = "github:ar-at-localhost/np";
     };
   
     outputs = { self, nixpkgs, nixvim, np, ... }: let
       system = "x86_64-linux"; # adjust for your system
       # Use legacyPackages from nixpkgs-unstable.
       pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
     in {
       devShells.${system}.default = pkgs.mkShell {
         packages = [
           # Other development packages...
   
           # Make nixvim with our unstable pkgs and the project-specific module.
           (nixvim.legacyPackages.${system}.makeNixvimWithModule {
             inherit pkgs;
             module = ./nix/nixvim.nix;
             extraSpecialArgs = { inherit np; };
           })
         ];
       };
     };
   }
   

2. Enter the shell: nix develop

For a quick preview of np: nix run .#np
