designing-options

To enforce consistent option namespaces in Nix modules, define all options under the khanelinix.* prefix. This creates a predictable, scalable config surface and ensures consistent configuration access across projects.

The standard pattern for designing Nix module options uses the options.* structure with explicit config references. This promotes reuse and consistency by cross-referencing config values via config.khanelinix.* access patterns.

Reference shared config values across Nix modules by accessing them through config.khanelinix.*. This access pattern ensures structured, reusable design and maintains namespace consistency throughout your configuration.

Yes, explicit frontmatter metadata is enforced for khanelinix module options. Defining modules with this metadata ensures standardized naming, option grouping, and predictable design patterns across all module authoring projects.

Use the khanelinix namespace for Nix configuration when authoring modules within projects using khanelinix. It standardizes option naming and design patterns, helping ensure consistent configuration access and discoverability across your codebase.
