nodenix

Example Node.js project that uses Nix for reproducible builds and development environments. Have a look at flake.nix to get an idea of how this works.

The src/main.ts source file demonstrates shelling out to some of the tools that are listed as dependencies. The PATH is set up in such a way where we ensure that we run these specific ones instead of different versions that might be in the user's PATH.

Try it out:

• Launch a development shell: nix develop github:khaled/nodenix
  • The shell will have access to a number of tools with pinned versions, including node, alejandra, kubectl, swc, etc.
  • Alternatively you can clone this repo and run nix develop in the working directory.
• Build and run straight from git: nix run github:khaled/nodenix.
• If you don't have nix installed (yet:)), you can run the above commands via docker, e.g.: docker run -it --rm nixpkgs/nix-flakes nix develop github:khaled/nodenix.
