flake-aspects
Zero-dependency aspect composition. Transpose aspect.class into standard Nix module layouts. Parametric providers, nestable sub-aspects, composable DAGs.
Vic's Dendritic Nix Ecosystem
Dendritic Nix tools — built for sharing, made for the community.
Dendritic Nix tooling
Section titled “Dendritic Nix tooling”Dendritic Nix is a pattern for organizing Nix configurations, vic has been exploring the limits of creating composable, re-usable aspects — functions that produce multi-class configurations (NixOS, Darwin, Home-Manager, and more) based on their context parameters.
Over the past year, vic has built a suite of open-source libraries and tools that make Dendritic Nix practical, productive, and shareable. Each library is focused, dependency-minimal, and designed to work independently or together.
den
Context-aware configuration framework. Declarative pipelines, host/user schemas, batteries included. Works with or without flakes.
Learn Moreflake-file
Generate flake.nix from typed Nix modules. Use the real Nix language for your flake inputs. Regenerate with one command.
import-tree
Recursively import Nix modules from any directory tree. The most widely adopted library for Dendritic configs.
Learn Moredendrix
Community-driven distribution of Dendritic configurations — like NUR but for composable aspects. Layers, import-trees, and templates.
