I tried to use this framework

[slevi123]

Background

I am using flake-parts now, I have multiple nixosConfigurations and I am looking for a framework to organize them better in my main flake.

Issue

I tried to use nixverse, but I run into some errors.

First of all the documentation is referring to nixverse.load which doesn't exist. It wasn't hard to understand that, this is a typo and the proper load function is under lib.

I deleted all my files and added the most simplest flake setup, but I got
error: infinite recursion encountered

After that, i initialized the template in a new project and got the same error.

Sorry for the late reply. Document is currently outdated. I have yet to find time to update it. You can currently refer to my own configs on the up-to-date usage.

Nixverse now natively supports flake-parts:

Once nixverse is loaded like this:
https://github.com/hgl/configs/blob/main/flake.nix

outputs/default.nix will be used as a flake module.
