This could work but completely destroys the harmony 😃

But I don't think this is the right way. There must be a better way.

Currently, we do not have a less terrible interface ;)
I plan to re-design this completely
I recently created a collaborative document to discuss how the new drem2nix API should look like.
Feel free to collaborate and dump your ideas there: https://pad.lassul.us/UswFgE39SDuvRcT3R7irNQ?view

To summarize it. I plan to change dream2nix to not provide any functions itself, and instead only export modules for drv-parts. After this, everything will evolve around individual derivations instead of flakes. Composing multiple packages to something like a flake will then be up to the user.

Ok, that is frankly extremely promising.

I engaged in a round of (extensive) comments trying to fully cover my stakeholder perspective as a:

  • DevOps persona operating on the intersection of Ops, Build & DevX along the entire SDLC.
  • Horizontal Integration Framework maintainer (i.e. std) addressing the SDLC wholistically.

I'll reproduce the question about potential output contracts for Standard BlockTypeActions to consume (drv-parts contracts vs d2n contracts) also here in github: DavHau/drv-parts#1

(inputs.dream2nix.lib.makeFlakeOutputs {
systems = [inputs.nixpkgs.system];
source = inputs.src;
projects = {
prettier = {
name = "prettier";
subsystem = "nodejs";
translator = "yarn-lock";
};
};
})
.packages
.${inputs.nixpkgs.system}
.default;

You might want to pick prettier here instead of default. Sometimes the default might not point to what you want. The heuristic is a bit poor as of now.
