Importing variables from flake

Help
1

Say I have two flakes:

  • foo/flake.nix
    {
  description = "Foo";
  inputs.bar.url = "path:/somepath/bar";
  outputs = { self, bar }:
       let in 
       packages.x86_64-linux = bar.somefun { somearg = "somearg"; };
}
  • bar/flake.nix
    {
  description = "Bar";
  outputs = { self, bar }:
       let 
          somefun = { somearg, }: let in { <some body> };
       in 
       packages.x86_64-linux = somefun { somearg = "somearg"; };
}

Unfortunately, it does not work as somefun is not accessible from Foo flake. So my question: is there any way to use somefun in Foo flake? Or in other words: is there any way to use variables from input flake?

Bindings declared within a let are never usable from another scope.

You need to use the flakes output mechanisms to “export” it.

Well, I hoped for a different answer :frowning: Nevertheless, thank you!
