|
||
like `lib`, `config`,
|
||
and `pkgs`, `modulesPath`.
|
||
|
||
This option is also available to all submodules. Submodules do not
|
||
inherit args from their parent module, nor do they provide args to
|
||
their parent module or sibling submodules. The sole exception to
|
||
this is the argument `name` which is provided by
|
||
parent modules to a submodule and contains the attribute name
|
||
the submodule is bound to, or a unique generated name if it is
|
||
not bound to an attribute.
|
||
|
||
Some arguments are already passed by default, of which the
|
||
following *cannot* be changed with this option:
|
||
- {var}`lib`: The nixpkgs library.
|
||
- {var}`config`: The results of all options after merging the values from all modules together.
|
||
- {var}`options`: The options declared in all modules.
|
||
- {var}`specialArgs`: The `specialArgs` argument passed to `evalModules`.
|
||
- All attributes of {var}`specialArgs`
|
||
|
||
Whereas option values can generally depend on other option values
|
||
thanks to laziness, this does not apply to `imports`, which
|
||
must be computed statically before anything else.
|
||
|
||
For this reason, callers of the module system can provide `specialArgs`
|
||
which are available during import resolution.
|
||
|
||
For NixOS, `specialArgs` includes
|
||
{var}`modulesPath`, which allows you to import
|
||
extra modules from the nixpkgs package tree without having to
|
||
somehow make the module aware of the location of the
|
||
`nixpkgs` or NixOS directories.
|
||
```
|
||
{ modulesPath, ... }: {
|
||
imports = [
|
||
(modulesPath + "/profiles/minimal.nix")
|
||
];
|
||
}
|
||
```
|
||
|
||
For NixOS, the default value for this option includes at least this argument:
|
||
- {var}`pkgs`: The nixpkgs package set according to
|
||
the {option}`nixpkgs.pkgs` option.</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Type:</em></span> lazy attribute set of raw value</p><p><span class="emphasis"><em>Declared by:</em></span></p><table border="0" summary="Simple list" class="simplelist"><tr><td><code class="filename"><a class="filename" href="https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/blob/master/lib/modules.nix#blob-path" target="_top">
