how to nix run on a module

[hmajid2301]

Hey,

Apologises if this is a silly question, but I'm wondering what is the best way to expose my Neovim config as an output. So that other people could do say nix run .#neovim

My flake.nix (https://gitlab.com/hmajid2301/nixicle/-/blob/main/flake.nix) looks something like this:

    lib.mkFlake {
      channels-config = {
        allowUnfree = true;
      };

     # ...

      overlays = with inputs; [
        nixgl.overlay
        nur.overlays.default
        nix-topology.overlays.default
      ];

      deploy = lib.mkDeploy {inherit (inputs) self;};

      checks =
        builtins.mapAttrs
        (system: deploy-lib:
          deploy-lib.deployChecks inputs.self.deploy)
        inputs.deploy-rs.lib;

      topology = with inputs; let
        host = self.nixosConfigurations.${builtins.head (builtins.attrNames self.nixosConfigurations)};
      in
        import nix-topology {
          inherit (host) pkgs; # Only this package set must include nix-topology.overlays.default
          modules = [
            (import ./topology {
              inherit (host) config;
            })
            {inherit (self) nixosConfigurations;}
          ];
        };
    };

My Neovim config is currently a module at modules/home/cli/editors/neovim, link to config: https://gitlab.com/hmajid2301/nixicle/-/tree/main/modules/home/cli/editors/neovim

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not sure on the specifics of nix-cats, but what worked for me with my Nixvim configuration was splitting it out into a different flake, and then using the package from the outputs of that flake in my home.packages.

This is how the creator of this project does it in their nix config.
