# Emacs {#sec-emacs}
|

|

## Configuring Emacs
|
||||
|
||||
The Emacs package comes with some extra helpers to make it easier to configure. `emacsWithPackages` allows you to manage packages from ELPA. This means that you will not have to install that packages from within Emacs. For instance, if you wanted to use `company` `counsel`, `flycheck`, `ivy`, `magit`, `projectile`, and `use-package` you could use this as a `~/.config/nixpkgs/config.nix` override:
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; {
|
||||
myEmacs = emacsWithPackages (epkgs: (with epkgs.melpaStablePackages; [
|
||||
company
|
||||
counsel
|
||||
flycheck
|
||||
ivy
|
||||
magit
|
||||
projectile
|
||||
use-package
|
||||
]));
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
You can install it like any other packages via `nix-env -iA myEmacs`. However, this will only install those packages. It will not `configure` them for us. To do this, we need to provide a configuration file. Luckily, it is possible to do this from within Nix! By modifying the above example, we can make Emacs load a custom config file. The key is to create a package that provide a `default.el` file in `/share/emacs/site-start/`. Emacs knows to load this file automatically when it starts.
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
{
|
||||
packageOverrides = pkgs: with pkgs; rec {
|
||||
myEmacsConfig = writeText "default.el" ''
|
||||
;; initialize package
|
||||
|
||||
(require 'package)
|
||||
(package-initialize 'noactivate)
|
||||
(eval-when-compile
|
||||
(require 'use-package))
|
||||
|
||||
;; load some packages
|
||||
|
||||
(use-package company
|
||||
:bind ("<C-tab>" . company-complete)
|
||||
:diminish company-mode
|
||||
:commands (company-mode global-company-mode)
|
||||
:defer 1
|
||||
:config
|
||||
(global-company-mode))
|
||||
|
||||
(use-package counsel
|
||||
:commands (counsel-descbinds)
|
||||
:bind (([remap execute-extended-command] . counsel-M-x)

(use-package flycheck

||||

|
||||
|
||||
(use-package ivy
|
||||

|
||||

|
||||
(setq magit-completing-read-function 'ivy-completing-read))
|
||||
|
||||
(use-package projectile
|
||||
:commands projectile-mode
|
||||
:bind-keymap ("C-c p" . projectile-command-map)
|
||||
:defer 5
|
||||
:config
|
||||
(projectile-global-mode))
|
||||
'';
|
||||
|
||||
myEmacs = emacsWithPackages (epkgs: (with epkgs.melpaStablePackages; [
|
||||
(runCommand "default.el" {} ''
|
||||
mkdir -p $out/share/emacs/site-lisp
|
||||
cp ${myEmacsConfig} $out/share/emacs/site-lisp/default.el
|

'')

flycheck

|
||||
projectile
|
||||
use-package
|
||||
]));
|
||||
};
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
This provides a fairly full Emacs start file. It will load in addition to the user's presonal config. You can always disable it by passing `-q` to the Emacs command.
|
||||
|
||||
Sometimes `emacsWithPackages` is not enough, as this package set has some priorities imposed on packages (with the lowest priority assigned to Melpa Unstable, and the highest for packages manually defined in `pkgs/top-level/emacs-packages.nix`). But you can't control this priorities when some package is installed as a dependency. You can override it on per-package-basis, providing all the required dependencies manually - but it's tedious and there is always a possibility that an unwanted dependency will sneak in through some other package. To completely override such a package you can use `overrideScope'`.
|
||||
|
||||
```nix
|
||||
overrides = self: super: rec {
|
||||
haskell-mode = self.melpaPackages.haskell-mode;
|
||||
...
|
||||
};
|
||||
((emacsPackagesGen emacs).overrideScope' overrides).emacsWithPackages
|
||||
(p: with p; [
|
||||
# here both these package will use haskell-mode of our own choice
|
||||
ghc-mod
|
||||
dante
|
||||
])
|
||||
```
