neovim-flake is formatted by the <a class="link" href="https://github.com/kamadorueda/alejandra" target="_top">alejandra</a> tool and the formatting is checked in the pull

request and push workflows. Run the <code class="literal">nix fmt</code> command inside the project repository before submitting your

pull request.</p><p>While Alejandra is mostly opinionated on how code looks after formatting, certain changes are done at the
|
||
user’s discretion based on how the original code was structured.</p><p>Please use one line code for attribute sets that contain only one subset.
|
||
For example:</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix"># parent modules should always be unfolded
|
||
# which means module = { value = ... } instead of module.value = { ... }
|
||
module = {
|
||
value = mkEnableOption "some description" // { default = true; }; # merges can be done inline where possible
|
||
|
||
# same as parent modules, unfold submodules
|
||
subModule = {
|
||
# this is an option that contains more than one nested value
|
||
someOtherValue = mkOption {
|
||
type = lib.types.bool;
|
||
description = "Some other description";
|
||
default = true;
|
||
};
|
||
};
|
||
}
|
||
</code></pre><p>If you move a line down after the merge operator, Alejandra will automatically unfold the whole merged attrset
|
||
for you, which we <span class="strong"><strong>do not</strong></span> want.</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">module = {
|
||
key = mkEnableOption "some description" // {
|
||
default = true; # we want this to be inline
|
||
}; # ...
|
||
}
|
||
</code></pre><p>For lists, it is mostly up to your own discretion how you want to format them, but please try to unfold lists if
|
||
they contain multiple items and especially if they are to include comments.</p><pre><code class="programlisting nix">
|
||
# this is ok
|
||
|
||
acceptableList = [
|
||
item1 # comment
|
||
item2
|

item3 # some other comment

to see a list of them.</p><p><code class="literal">neovim-flake</code> provides a list of helper commands, so that you don’t have to write the mapping attribute sets every

Therefore, you either pass in a function like <code class="literal">require('someplugin').some_function</code>, without actually calling it,
|

or you define your own function, like <code class="literal">function() require('someplugin').some_function() end</code>.</p><p>Additionally, to not have to repeat the descriptions, there’s another utility function with its own set of functions:</p><p>Utility function that takes two attrsets:</p><div class="itemizedlist"><ul class="itemizedlist compact" style="list-style-type: disc;"><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">{ someKey = "some_value" }</code></p></li><li class="listitem"><p><code class="literal">{ someKey = { description = "Some Description"; }; }</code></p></li></ul></div><p>and merges them into <code class="literal">{ someKey = { value = "some_value"; description = "Some Description"; }; }</code></p><pre><code class="programlisting">addDescriptionsToMappings = actualMappings: mappingDefinitions:
