Rensa

Rensa is a powerful and flexible Nix flake framework designed to organize your Nix projects into logical units called "Cells". It is heavily inspired by divnix/std but aims to provide a streamlined experience. Feel free to check out std's awesome docs too.

Features

• Cells: Organize your code into functional domains (e.g., backend, frontend, devops).
• Blocks: Define types of outputs within a cell (e.g., packages, devShells, nixosConfigurations).
• Actions: Integrate with the CLI to run commands defined in your cells.
• Cell Flakes: Each cell can be its own flake, allowing for modular dependency management.

Quick Start

1. Initialize a Flake: Create a flake.nix that uses rensa.
2. Define Cells: Create a cells/ directory.
3. Add Blocks: Add .nix files in your cells to define outputs.

Example flake.nix

{
  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixpkgs-unstable";
    ren.url = "gitlab:rensa-nix/core";
  };

  outputs = {ren, ...}@inputs: ren.buildWith {
    inherit inputs;
    cellsFrom = ./cells;
    cellBlocks = with ren.blocks; [
      (simple "packages")
      (simple "devShells")
    ];
  } {
    packages = ren.select inputs.self [
      ["my-cell" "packages"]
    ];
  };
}
