/* Creates an Option attribute set for an option that specifies the
|
|
package a module should use for some purpose.
|
|
|
|
The package is specified in the third argument under `default` as a list of strings
|
|
representing its attribute path in nixpkgs (or another package set).
|
|
Because of this, you need to pass nixpkgs itself (usually `pkgs` in a module;
|
|
alternatively to nixpkgs itself, another package set) as the first argument.
|
|
|
|
If you pass another package set you should set the `pkgsText` option.
|
|
This option is used to display the expression for the package set. It is `"pkgs"` by default.
|
|
If your expression is complex you should parenthesize it, as the `pkgsText` argument
|
|
is usually immediately followed by an attribute lookup (`.`).
|
|
|
|
The second argument may be either a string or a list of strings.
|
|
It provides the display name of the package in the description of the generated option
|
|
(using only the last element if the passed value is a list)
|
|
and serves as the fallback value for the `default` argument.
|
|
|
|
To include extra information in the description, pass `extraDescription` to
|
|
append arbitrary text to the generated description.
|
|
|
|
You can also pass an `example` value, either a literal string or an attribute path.
|
|
|
|
The `default` argument can be omitted if the provided name is
|
|
an attribute of pkgs (if `name` is a string) or a valid attribute path in pkgs (if `name` is a list).
|
|
You can also set `default` to just a string in which case it is interpreted as an attribute name
|
|
(a singleton attribute path, if you will).
|
|
|
|
If you wish to explicitly provide no default, pass `null` as `default`.
|
|
|
|
If you want users to be able to set no package, pass `nullable = true`.
|
|
In this mode a `default = null` will not be interpreted as no default and is interpreted literally.
