Replace writeReferencesToFile with writeClosure.
Make writeClosure accept a list of paths instead of a path.
Re-implement with JSON-based exportReferencesGraph interface provided by
__structuredAttrs = true.
Reword the documentation.

* Use span instead of a for inline span syntax
Following [Best Practices](https://nix.dev/guides/best-practices#with-scopes),
`with` is a problematic language construction and should be avoided.
Usually it is employed like a "factorization": `[ X.A X.B X.C X.D ]` is written
`with X; [ A B C D ]`.
However, as shown in the link above, the syntatical rules of `with` are not so
intuitive, and this "distributive rule" is very selective, in the sense that
`with X; [ A B C D ]` is not equivalent to `[ X.A X.B X.C X.D ]`.
However, this factorization is still useful to "squeeze" some code, especially
in lists like `meta.maintainers`.
On the other hand, it becomes less justifiable in bigger scopes. This is
especially true in cases like `with lib;` in the top of expression and in sets
like `meta = with lib; { . . . }`.
That being said, this patch removes most of example code in the current
documentation.
The exceptions are, for now
- doc/functions/generators.section.md
- doc/languages-frameworks/coq.section.md
because, well, they are way more complicated, and I couldn't parse them
mentally - yet another reason why `with` should be avoided!
`snapTools.makeSnap` has produced broken snaps since at least Oct 2020,
as indicated by the following issue: https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/issues/100618
No person has shown interest in maintaining it, and given that there is
no fix available, it's assumed that all attempts made to fix that
function have not succeeded.
Given that `snapTools` only contained `makeSnap`, it was removed
completely.
This is an alternative to `fetchNpmDeps` that is notably different in that it uses metadata from `package.json` & `package-lock.json` instead of specifying a fixed-output hash.
Notable features:
- IFD free.
- Only fetches a node dependency once. No massive FODs.
- Support for URL, Git and path dependencies.
- Uses most of the existing `npmHooks`
`importNpmLock` can be used _only_ in the cases where we need to check in a `package-lock.json` in the tree.
Currently this means that we have 13 packages that would be candidates to use this function, though I expect most usage to be in private repositories.
This is upstreaming the builder portion of https://github.com/adisbladis/buildNodeModules into nixpkgs (different naming but the code is the same).
I will archive this repository and consider nixpkgs the new upstream once it's been merged.
For more explanations and rationale see https://discourse.nixos.org/t/buildnodemodules-the-dumbest-node-to-nix-packaging-tool-yet/35733
Example usage:
``` nix
stdenv.mkDerivation {
pname = "my-nodejs-app";
version = "0.1.0";
src = ./.;
nativeBuildInputs = [
importNpmLock.hooks.npmConfigHook
nodejs
nodejs.passthru.python # for node-gyp
npmHooks.npmBuildHook
npmHooks.npmInstallHook
];
npmDeps = buildNodeModules.fetchNodeModules {
npmRoot = ./.;
};
}
```
I was looking at
https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#buildpythonpackage-parameters to
import a Python package and noticed that the link for the `hooks` in
`pyproject` option is broken due to a typo (used <kbd>0</kbd> instead of
<kbd>)</kbd>).

Much like the previous commit that adds dependencies &
optional-dependencies this aligns PEP-517 build systems with how they
are defined in PEP-518/PEP-621.
The naming `build-system` (singular) is aligned with upstream Python standards.
