nodePackages has been deprecated for a while now, and has been finally removed. Please ensure that any PRs you submit in the future use the modern JS packaging standards(see the Javascript section of the nixpkgs manual). Thank you to everyone who contributed to this effort to clean all of this crap up, and let’s keep paying down nixpkgs’ technical debt!
