nix: add extension support

[schromp]

With this you can install extensions the following way:

services.vicinae = {
  extensions = [
    (inputs.vicinae-dev.mkVicinaeExtension.${pkgs.system} {
      inherit pkgs;
      name = "test-extension";
      src =
        pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
          owner = "schromp";
          repo = "vicinae-extensions";
          rev = "f8be5c89393a336f773d679d22faf82d59631991";
          sha256 = "sha256-zk7WIJ19ITzRFnqGSMtX35SgPGq0Z+M+f7hJRbyQugw=";
        }
        + "/test-extension";
    })
    (inputs.vicinae-dev.mkVicinaeExtension.${pkgs.system} {
      inherit pkgs;
      name = "swww-switcher";
      src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
        owner = "ViSovereign";
        repo = "swww-switcher";
        rev = "e29515ed74e27e58a631b2d2863bff19941b0c43";
        sha256 = "sha256-g+GNKwXNIuhnQ9u5C/wnp5KLwackF+FdOYXFiYk8WSI=";
      };
    })
  ];
};

I will add a section to the docs when/if this is merged.

I have taken most of the code from @kaan-w. I hope thats okay for you if not please say something :)

(This PR also moves a lot of the nix files into a seperate nix directory because we started to clutter the root quite alot)

[kaan-w]

I would appreciate it if you could add me as a co-author.

I hope i added you correctly. I didnt find a mail address so i used a github noreply one (as per.
If you want me to change that please give me your mail :)

[schromp]

done :)

[aurelleb]

the push to cachix workflow fails, not sure why

[kaan-w]

Maybe move ./nix/default.nix back to root and update the callPackage path?

[schromp]

Though this is one file more in root again.
Was the default file necessary for people without flakes, do i remember that right?

[kaan-w]

Co-author didn't work. There had to be a newline after the commit message and email between the <> brackets.

Damn sorry. Maybe @aurelien-brabant can atleast edit the release notes to include you for the change?

Guys, now that vicinae is in nixpkgs, would you mind coping this module to home-manager? I could do it myself too, I'm just not sure if you like me to do so. @schromp

Thanks for adding Nix support for installing extensions!

What's the best way to install Raycast extensions from Nix? I tried doing this:

extensions = [
	(inputs.vicinae.mkVicinaeExtension.${pkgs.system} {
		inherit pkgs;
		name = "Gif Search";
		src = pkgs.fetchFromGitHub {
			owner = "raycast";
			repo = "extensions";
			rev = "4d417c2dfd86a5b2bea202d4a7b48d8eb3dbaeb1";
			sha256 = "";
		} + "/extensions/gif-search";
	})
];

...but it seems to take forever because it has to clone the entire Raycast extensions library. Is there a better way to do this?

I couldn't figure this out too.

Fetching only the extension folder is easy, you just need to do something as:

 ...
        src =
          pkgs.fetchgit {
            url = "https://github.com/raycast/extensions";
            rev = "4d417c2dfd86a5b2bea202d4a7b48d8eb3dbaeb1";
            sha256 = "sha256-G7il8T1L+P/2mXWJsb68n4BCbVKcrrtK8GnBNxzt73Q=";
            sparseCheckout = [
              "/extensions/gif-search"
            ];
          }
          + "/extensions/gif-search";
...

But we need another function to build the package as the code for the raycast extention is not in /build/.local/share/vicinae/extensions/${name}

Changing this makes it work:

          # cp -r /build/.local/share/vicinae/extensions/${name}/* $out/

          cp -r /build/.config/raycast/extensions/${name}/* $out/

I'll add this one to the PR for home-manager.
