=====
|
||||
|
||||
[![Build Status](https://travis-ci.org/tazjin/yants.svg?branch=master)](https://travis-ci.org/tazjin/yants)
|
||||
|
||||
This is a tiny type-checker for data in Nix, written in Nix.
|
||||
|
||||
# Features
|
||||
|
||||
* Checking of primitive types (`int`, `string` etc.)
|
||||
* Checking polymorphic types (`option`, `list`, `either`)
|
||||
* Defining & checking struct/record types
|
||||
* Defining & matching enum types
|
||||
* Defining & matching sum types
|
||||
* Defining function signatures (including curried functions)
|
||||
* Types are composable! `option string`! `list (either int (option float))`!
|
||||
* Type errors also compose!
|
||||
|
||||
Currently lacking:
|
||||
|
||||
* Any kind of inference
|
||||
* Convenient syntax for attribute-set function signatures
|
||||

# Usage
|
||||
|
||||
Yants can be imported from its `default.nix`. A single attribute (`lib`) can be
|
||||
passed, which will otherwise be imported from `<nixpkgs>`.
|
||||
|
||||
Examples for the most common import methods would be:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Import into scope with `with`:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
with (import ./default.nix {});
|
||||
# ... Nix code that uses yants ...
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
2. Import as a named variable:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
let yants = import ./default.nix {};
|
||||
in yants.string "foo" # or other uses ...
|
||||
````
|
||||
|
||||
3. Overlay into `pkgs.lib`:
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
# wherever you import your package set (e.g. from <nixpkgs>):
|
||||
import <nixpkgs> {
|
||||
overlays = [
|
||||
(self: super: {
|
||||
lib = super.lib // { yants = import ./default.nix { inherit (super) lib; }; };
|
||||
})
|
||||
];
|
||||
}
|
||||
|
||||
# yants now lives at lib.yants, besides the other library functions!
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Please see my [Nix one-pager](https://github.com/tazjin/nix-1p) for more generic
|
||||
information about the Nix language and what the above constructs mean.
|
||||
|
||||
# Stability
|
||||
|
||||
The current API of Yants is **not yet** considered stable, but it works fine and
|
||||
should continue to do so even if used at an older version.
|
||||
|
||||
Yants' tests use Nix versions above 2.2 - compatibility with older versions is
|
||||
not guaranteed.
