lib.fileset.fromSource

Docs pulled from | This Revision | 35 minutes ago


Create a file set with the same files as a lib.sources-based value. This does not import any of the files into the store.

This can be used to gradually migrate from lib.sources-based filtering to lib.fileset.

A file set can be turned back into a source using toSource.

File sets cannot represent empty directories. Turning the result of this function back into a source using toSource will therefore not preserve empty directories.

Inputs

source

1. Function argument

Type

fromSource :: SourceLike -> FileSet

Examples

lib.fileset.fromSource usage example

# There's no cleanSource-like function for file sets yet,
# but we can just convert cleanSource to a file set and use it that way
toSource {
  root = ./.;
  fileset = fromSource (lib.sources.cleanSource ./.);
}

# Keeping a previous sourceByRegex (which could be migrated to `lib.fileset.unions`),
# but removing a subdirectory using file set functions
difference
  (fromSource (lib.sources.sourceByRegex ./. [
    "^README\.md$"
    # This regex includes everything in ./doc
    "^doc(/.*)?$"
  ])
  ./doc/generated

# Use cleanSource, but limit it to only include ./Makefile and files under ./src
intersection
  (fromSource (lib.sources.cleanSource ./.))
  (unions [
    ./Makefile
    ./src
  ]);
