[Nix] Expose plugins to NixOs module.

[darshanCommits]

As it stands now, you need to use the HM module if you want to use plugins, which is great but I do like the hot reload and thus prefer to keep it separate.

Please expose a way to install plugin, either through option or override?
Thank you.

The NixOS module from this repo also allows you to use plugins/write your config using Nix.

Config reloads no longer reload plugins (both in HM and NixOS modules) since nix-community/home-manager#6789.

I don't see any relevant option?

I meant for the standard config. HM kinda forces you to use the rebuild which is painfully slow just to tinker with border colors. Infact i didn't knew plugins had hot reload lol.

Correct, that is only available in this repo

Hyprland/nix/module.nix

Line 13 in a51e639

plugins = lib.mkOption {

We haven't PR'd this to Nixpkgs yet, as we may have to change the options a bit.

It's possible to define plugins in the NixOS config and source /etc/xdg/hypr/hyprland.conf (the generated file) into your config file.

Oh cool! That works for me. Any chance it being merged for the next big nix release?

It certainly won't make it to 25.05. Possibly in 25.11.
