nix-module-template

To create a NixOS module with standard structure, use a template that separates options declarations from configuration implementation and guards usage with an enable flag for consistent module scaffolding.

The standard structure for a Home Manager module separates options declarations from configuration implementation, guarding usage with an enable flag to ensure consistent and predictable module behavior.

Yes, you can use pre-made module skeletons for both nix-darwin and NixOS, as well as Home Manager, providing a consistent structure across different Nix-based system configurations.

To add an enable flag to your nix-darwin module, use a template that guards configuration implementation with an enable option, ensuring the config only applies when explicitly activated.

The best way to scaffold a Nix module quickly is to copy a pre-made template into your directory, rename placeholders, and adapt options and config to your project needs.

Separating options and config in Nix modules enforces a standard structure, making modules maintainable and predictable by clearly distinguishing declarations from implementation guarded by an enable flag.
