# ClanLib
This folder is supposed to contain clan specific nix functions.
Such as:
- clan function
- select
- inventory function
- json-schema-converter
## Structure
Similar to `nixpkgs/lib` this produces a recursive attribute set in a fixed-point.
Functions within lib can depend on each other to create new abstractions.
### Conventions
Note: This is not consistently enforced yet.
If you start a new feature, or refactoring/touching existing ones, please help us to move towards the below illustrated.
A single feature-set/module may be organized like this:
```nix
# ↓ The final clanLib
{lib, clanLib, ...}:
# ↓ portion to add to clanLib
{
inventory.resolveTags = tags: inventory.machines; # implementation
inventory.buildMachines = x: clanLib.inventory.resolveTags x; # implementation
}
```
Every bigger feature should live in a subfolder with the feature name.
It should contain two files:
- `default.nix`
- `test.nix`
- Everything else may be adopted as needed.
```
Example filetree
```
```sh
.
├── default.nix
├── clan
│ ├── default.nix
│ └── test.nix
└── inventory
├── services-subfeature
│ ├── default.nix
│ └── test.nix
├── instances-subfeature # <- We immediately see that this feature is not tested on itself.
│ └── default.nix
├── default.nix
└── test.nix
```
## Testing
For testing we use [nix-unit](https://github.com/nix-community/nix-unit)
