installShellFiles: init (NixOS#65211)
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This is a new package that provides a shell hook to make it easy to
declare manpages and shell completions in a manner that doesn't require
remembering where to actually install them. Basic usage looks like

  { stdenv, installShellFiles, ... }:
  stdenv.mkDerivation {
    # ...
    nativeBuildInputs = [ installShellFiles ];
    postInstall = ''
      installManPage doc/foobar.1
      installShellCompletion --bash share/completions/foobar.bash
      installShellCompletion --fish share/completions/foobar.fish
      installShellCompletion --zsh share/completions/_foobar
    '';
    # ...
  }

See source comments for more details on the functions.

This hook helps with installing manpages and shell completion files. It
exposes 2 shell functions <literal>installManPage</literal> and
<literal>installShellCompletion</literal> that can be used from your
<literal>postInstall</literal> hook.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>installManPage</literal> function takes one or more paths
to manpages to install. The manpages must have a section suffix, and may
optionally be compressed (with <literal>.gz</literal> suffix). This
function will place them into the correct directory.
</para>
<para>
The <literal>installShellCompletion</literal> function takes one or more
paths to shell completion files. By default it will autodetect the shell
type from the completion file extension, but you may also specify it by
passing one of <literal>--bash</literal>, <literal>--fish</literal>, or
<literal>--zsh</literal>. These flags apply to all paths listed after
them (up until another shell flag is given). Each path may also have a
custom installation name provided by providing a flag <literal>--name
NAME</literal> before the path. If this flag is not provided, zsh
completions will be renamed automatically such that
<literal>foobar.zsh</literal> becomes <literal>_foobar</literal>.

# installShellCompletion [--bash|--fish|--zsh] ([--name <name>] <path>)...
#
# Each path is installed into the appropriate directory for shell completions for the given shell.
# If one of `--bash`, `--fish`, or `--zsh` is given the path is assumed to belong to that shell.
# Otherwise the file extension will be examined to pick a shell. If the shell is unknown a warning
# will be logged and the command will return a non-zero status code after processing any remaining
# paths. Any of the shell flags will affect all subsequent paths (unless another shell flag is
# given).
#
# If the shell completion needs to be renamed before installing the optional `--name <name>` flag
# may be given. Any name provided with this flag only applies to the next path.
#
# For zsh completions, if the `--name` flag is not given, the path will be automatically renamed
# such that `foobar.zsh` becomes `_foobar`.
#
# This command accepts multiple shell flags in conjunction with multiple paths if you wish to
# install them all in one command:
#
# installShellCompletion share/completions/foobar.{bash,fish} --zsh share/completions/_foobar
#
# However it may be easier to read if each shell is split into its own invocation, especially when
# renaming is involved:
#
# installShellCompletion --bash --name foobar.bash share/completions.bash
# installShellCompletion --fish --name foobar.fish share/completions.fish
# installShellCompletion --zsh --name _foobar share/completions.zsh
#
# If any argument is `--` the remaining arguments will be treated as paths.
