Adding packages
home.packages = with pkgs; [
package-name
] ++ lib.optionals (stdenv.hostPlatform.system == "x86_64-linux") [
x86-only-package
];
Creating a module
{ pkgs, ... }:
{
home.packages = with pkgs; [ mypackage ];
xdg.configFile."app/config.json".text = builtins.toJSON { setting = "value"; };
}
Import in home/default.nix:
imports = [ ../modules/home/mymodule.nix ];
