proc-flake

A flake-parts Nix module for running multiple processes in a dev shell.

honcho is used to launch the processes.

Usage

NOTE: this module requires the flake-root module.

proc.groups.run.processes={haskell.command="${lib.getExepkgs.haskellPackages.ghcid}";tailwind.command="${lib.getExepkgs.haskellPackages.tailwind} -w -o ./static/tailwind.css './src/**/*.hs'";};

This gives a config.proc.groups.run.package derivation that you can put in the nativeBuildInputs of devShell for availability in the shell.

For better discoverability, consider using this in conjunction with the mission-control module.

Credits

The idea for this module came largely from Domen Kožar's devenv project.
