Use the Nix C API from Rust.
The development environment and building with Nix are taken care of by nix-cargo-integration (options).
The dependency on Nix is taken care of with the nix-bindings-rust flake-parts module.
Example usage:
{
outputs =
inputs@{ self, flake-parts, ... }:
flake-parts.lib.mkFlake { inherit inputs; }
{
imports = [
inputs.nix-cargo-integration.flakeModule
inputs.nix-bindings-rust.modules.flake.default
];
perSystem = { config, pkgs, ... }: {
# optional:
nix-bindings-rust.nixPackage = pkgs.nix;
nci.projects."myproject" = {
depsDrvConfig = {
imports = [ config.nix-bindings-rust.nciBuildConfig ];
};
};
};
};
}The following will open a shell with dependencies, and install pre-commit for automatic formatting.
$ nix developIf the rust-analyzer extension fails, make sure the devShell was loaded into VSCode via Nix Env Selector or direnv.
