A collection of pure Nix utility functions for writing Nix flakes, with no dependency on nixpkgs. It provides helpers like eachSystem and eachDefaultSystem to reduce boilerplate when generating per-system flake outputs.

Use cases

  • reduce boilerplate in flake.nix outputs
  • iterate flake outputs over multiple systems
  • customize the list of supported systems in a flake
  • write nixpkgs-independent flake helpers
  • avoid typos when referencing system strings in flakes

When to choose

  • you are authoring a Nix flake and want to avoid repetitive per-system boilerplate
  • you want small, pure Nix functions without pulling in nixpkgs

When to avoid

  • you are not using Nix or Nix flakes
  • you prefer writing flake outputs manually or using newer built-in Nix features
