Docs pulled from | This Revision | 17 minutes ago
Generate an INI-style config file from an attrset specifying the global section (no header), and an attrset of sections to an attrset of key-value pairs.
Inputs
- 1. Structured function argument
-
- mkSectionName (optional, default:
(name: escape [ "[" "]" ] name)
) - apply transformations (e.g. escapes) to section names
- mkSectionName (optional, default:
-
- mkKeyValue (optional, default:
{} "="
) - format a setting line from key and value
- mkKeyValue (optional, default:
-
- listsAsDuplicateKeys (optional, default:
false
) - allow lists as values for duplicate keys
- listsAsDuplicateKeys (optional, default:
- 2. Structured function argument
-
- globalSection (required)
- global section key-value pairs
-
- sections (optional, default:
{}
) - attrset of sections to key-value pairs
- sections (optional, default:
Examples
lib.generators.toINIWithGlobalSection
usage example
generators.toINIWithGlobalSection {} {
globalSection = {
someGlobalKey = "hi";
};
sections = {
foo = { hi = "${pkgs.hello}"; ciao = "bar"; };
baz = { "also, integers" = 42; };
}
> someGlobalKey=hi
>
> [baz]
> also, integers=42
>
> [foo]
> ciao=bar
> hi=/nix/store/y93qql1p5ggfnaqjjqhxcw0vqw95rlz0-hello-2.10
The mk* configuration attributes can generically change the way sections and key-value strings are generated.
For more examples see the test cases in ./tests/misc.nix.
If you don’t need a global section, you can also use
generators.toINI
directly, which only takes
the part in sections
.
