Neovim runtime dependencies

Help
1

Hello,

What is the best way to specify runtime dependencies for Neovim plugins in a custom Neovim package?

For example, conform-nvim requires the formatter application, let’s say stylua, to be available at runtime. I’ve only been able to make it work by overridding the package attributes. Is there a better way?

{
  description = "Neovim devenv";

  inputs = {nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs?ref=nixos-unstable";};

  outputs = {
    self,
    nixpkgs,
  }: let
    system = "x86_64-linux";
    pkgs = import nixpkgs {inherit system;};

    myneovim = pkgs.wrapNeovimUnstable pkgs.neovim-unwrapped {
      autowrapRuntimeDeps = true;

      plugins = with pkgs.vimPlugins; [conform-nvim];

      luaRcContent = ''
        require("conform").setup({
          formatters_by_ft = {
            lua = { 'stylua' },
          },
        })
      '';
    };

    neovim = myneovim.overrideAttrs (oldAttrs: {
      runtimeDeps = oldAttrs.runtimeDeps ++ [pkgs.stylua];
    });

  in {
    packages.${system}.default = neovim;
  };
}
