  • How do I package a nodejs cli application ?

    I used https://github.com/nix-community/npmlock2nix and works for me (I packaged serverless myself), but node is one of those languages where they just drop any standards and conventions and inventing their own, making it hard or almost impossible to package their applications (not just with Nix).

    From your dicourse post I'm guessing your language is nodejs. Node is a bit worse supported than Python. Mainly, because nodejs really loves thousands of tiny packages while Nix is more used to packages being a little bigger, and less of them. Because of that there are many different approaches. I tried few of the projects, but I ended up liking npmlock2nix. What I like about this approach is that similarly to poetry2nix translates the lock file into nix on the fly without having to run any tool that would do the conversion.
