    A library to functionally define your configuration and theme (rice) with Nix

  • I've never used Mustache so I can't really say much on that. If you're doing everything in Nix, the standard library already has toJSON function so that may save you a passage. That's what I'm using for my Alacritty config through the home-manager module.

  • WorkOS

    The modern identity platform for B2B SaaS. The APIs are flexible and easy-to-use, supporting authentication, user identity, and complex enterprise features like SSO and SCIM provisioning.

    My NixOS Configurations

  • Yep, I'm using the toJSON function already. The problem I had, was that not all applications use JSON as configuration format. Also the nix code gets very long, if you have to write the whole template as a string, which I find quite unreadable. Mustache is a pretty simple frequently used templating language, here is an example template that get's rendered by the nix code above.
