= Users configuration
:toc:

This is where user-specific configurations comes in.
Ideally, the configurations are link:https://nix-community.github.io/home-manager/[home-manager config].

Here's an example of a sample user config placed in `users/hello.nix`.

[source, nix]
----
{ config, options, pkgs, lib, ... }:

{
  programs.home-manager.enable = true;
  programs.direnv.enable = true;
  home.file.".npmrc".source = ./config/npmrc;
}
----

This is to be imported to `homeManagerConfiguration` in the flake outputs and when indicated from `config.modules.users.users` (e.g., `modules.users.users = [ "hello" ];`).




== Modules

There are also user modules (in link:../modules/home-manager/[`../modules/home-manager/`]) that are imported to use with home-manager, allowing you to extend it as you wish.
It works just like link:https://github.com/nix-community/home-manager/tree/master/modules[home-manager modules].

For easier identification, it should be stored with `modules` as the top-level attribute (e.g., `modules.alacritty`, `modules.i18n`).

Here's an example user module that simply ports my Alacritty config.

[source, nix]
----
{ config, options, lib, pkgs, ... }:

let
  cfg = config.modules.alacritty;
in
{
  options.modules.alacritty.enable = lib.mkEnableOption "Ports my Alacritty configuration.";

  config = lib.mkIf cfg.enable {
    home.packages = with pkgs; [ alacritty ];
    xdg.configFile."alacritty" = {
      source = ../../config/alacritty
      recursive = true;
    };
  };
}
