Nix Flake For The Metaplex JS Packages

Archived

Maintaining JS and TS projects in Nix is a nightmare. Due to the large number of dependencies, something is always broken. And then someone adds a weird postinstall script, which has no hope of ever succeeding in Nix.

Additionally, I myself don't use any of these packages so there's little value for me in maintaining any of this.

Metaplex Nix

This repository bundles the Metaplex JS CLI tools in the form of a Nix flake. It checks out a given commit of the upstream repository, generates missing package-lock.json files and then it uses npmlock2nix to turn the packages into Nix derivations.

Check the ouputs with nix flake show github:cidem/metaplex-js-nix-flake

Packages that don't work on certain platforms are marked as broken. Right now web can't be used at all, because I haven't figured out how to work around Lerna.

fair-launch can't be used on Darwin M1 because a transitive dependency is missing aarch64 as a target architecture for GYP bindings.

The typical use case is:

$ nix build github:cidem/metaplex-js-nix-flake

$ node ./result/candy-machine-cli.js
Usage: candy-machine-cli [options] [command]

Options:
  -V, --version                                      output the version number
  -h, --help                                         display help for command

Commands:
  upload [options] <directory>
  verify_token_metadata [options] <directory>
  verify [options]
  verify_price [options]
  show [options]
  create_candy_machine [options]
  update_candy_machine [options]
  mint_one_token [options]
  sign [options]
  sign_all [options]
  generate_art_configurations [options] <directory>
  create_generative_art [options]
  help [command]                                     display help for command
