android-nixpkgs VS pg-mem

If I don't remember, please report a feature request on https://github.com/tadfisher/android-nixpkgs so we can get this packaged, at least in my SDK repo.

I`m already trying to use flake from the official nixos wiki: https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Flutter As well as using flake from android-nixpkgs: https://github.com/tadfisher/android-nixpkgs/tree/main

We just vastly improved the Flutter support. flutter doctor on nixos-unstable should now work perfectly. If Android is your target platform, use android-nixpkgs.

I'm packaging the Android SDK with Nix to enable reproducible builds: https://github.com/tadfisher/android-nixpkgs

I've actually been using this for years, but now that I'm using Nix Flakes I've been learning how to best provide a flake for this project. I think I landed on a decent solution.

I've used pgmem https://github.com/oguimbal/pg-mem for the last couple of years for the same thing.

I was wondering the other day how to classify tests that use a test double like pg-mem, which isn't a mock but isn't the Dockerized test DB either :

In my case, I use TypeORM with PostgreSQL, and there's pg-mem to run an instance in memory, it supports most of the common functionality of PostgreSQL but you will need to do some adjustment to your code to be within the limits.

Postgres in the browser is possible through pg-mem: "pg-mem is an experimental in-memory emulation of a postgres database" but it also suffers from no persistence. If you can persist to a file somewhere then read it in on startup (and if your local data isn't huge) this might work.

Dont get me wrong: I am trying to contribute to opensource as well, so I get that supporting small projects can be demanding. There's nothing wrong in not spending your weekends on OS. But not asking for help, nor specifying that a project is unmaintained, nor even answering issues & pull requests for years feels just wrong.

Okay, I had a bit of spare time,I've implemented that, and it is now available with [email protected]

To get a glimpse of what I'm talking about, you can clone this repo and follow "Development" instructions (by the way this is a small OS lib I maintain, I wrote about it here)
