Add to home-manager as a module about stylix

[Mateiadrielrafael]

To expand on this, I too wish we had separate nixos and home-manager modules. A good reason for this is being able to use the HM module outside of nixos systems. The lack of separation is the only reason I'm still using a weaker handrolled solution instead of migrating to this awesome tool.

I too wish we had separate nixos and home-manager modules.

This is being worked on in #23. It's mostly finished and will be merged soon

[DamienCassou]

Now that #23 has been merged, is any more work planned around this? I feel that the README could contain an example of how to setup stylix with home-manager on a non-NixOS distro.

[danth]

I agree we should add an example for that use case. It hasn't been tested on non-NixOS yet, however I would expect it to work at least to some extent. It would be great if someone with experience using Home Manager on another distro could set it up and provide feedback :)

If your Home Manager configuration is in a flake, you should be able to import homeManagerModules.stylix similar to the example for NixOS.

@danth I tried and I got an issue: #28.

[DamienCassou]

Here is a working configuration:

{pkgs, ...}@args:

let
  base16 = import ../../base16;
  palette-generator = pkgs.callPackage ../../stylix/palette-generator { };
in
{
  stylix.image = pkgs.fetchurl {
    url = "https://www.pixelstalk.net/wp-content/uploads/2016/05/Epic-Anime-Awesome-Wallpapers.jpg";
    sha256 = "enQo3wqhgf0FEPHj2coOCvo7DuZv+x5rL/WIo4qPI50=";
  };

  imports = [
    (import ../../stylix/stylix/hm {
      inherit palette-generator;
      base16 = base16 args;
    })
  ];
}

Do you want a PR for the README?

[danth]

I already added an example for Home Manager + Flakes; I've been trying to keep the documentation to flakes only for clarity, but if you think the non-flake version is helpful then please do go ahead with a PR.

[DamienCassou]

I wouldn't have focused only on flakes while they are experimental.

Thanks for solving this!
