nix-module-template

You can scaffold a NixOS module project by copying a ready-to-use template that provides a standard structure. This approach gives you a self-contained module layout using the cfg pattern and mkIf enable guards to ensure consistency across your NixOS configurations.

Creating a Home Manager module is best done using a standardized template that encourages best practices. The template supplies sample module layouts that apply the cfg pattern for options and mkIf enable guards for safe, self-contained configuration design.

Yes, the Nix module template works for nix-darwin setups. It provides standard module skeletons specifically designed for nix-darwin, alongside NixOS and Home Manager, ensuring you can quickly kickstart projects across different Nix-based platforms.

Using the cfg pattern and mkIf enable guards ensures self-contained Nix module design. These conventions prevent module execution when disabled and provide a standard structure for defining options, reducing setup time and avoiding configuration conflicts.

After copying the template into your modules directory, you customize the Nix module by modifying the provided options for your target NixOS, Home Manager, or nix-darwin setup. The example-driven sample patterns serve as a guide for copy-pasting.
