Nested Node packages (CoC extension)

Help
1

I’m trying to manage the coc-ltex extension with Nix which a Node package which requires the ltex-ls Node and a Java install. However, even if the dependencies are installed on the system, the extension can’t find them.

Taking a look at the directory structure when the extension is installed through CoC, one may see that it expects to find the dependencies inside the installation directory:

$ tree -L 3
├── dist
│   └── extension.js
├── i18n
│   ├── messages.nls.de.json
│   └── messages.nls.json
├── img
│   └── logo-ltex.png
├── lib
│   └── ltex-ls-15.2.0      <--- ltex-ls
│       ├── bin
│       ├── jdk-11.0.12+7   <--- Java install "inside" ltex-ls
│       └── lib
├── package.json
├── package.nls.de.json
└── package.nls.json

Since the structures are “nested”, I couldn’t get around this issue by linking paths with a buildEnv so I use a dirty hack: I add a patchPhase to the coc-ltex Node package where I manually add links to the dependencies as follows:

coc-ltex = let
  ltex = pkgs.ltex-ls;
  jdk = pkgs.jdk11_headless;
in pkgs.vimPlugins.coc-ltex.overrideAttrs (old: {
  buildInputs = with pkgs; [
    ltex
    jdk
  ];

  patchPhase = ''
    mkdir -p $out/lib/${ltex.name}/${jdk.name}
    ln -s ${ltex}/bin $out/lib/${ltex.name}/bin
    ln -s ${ltex}/lib $out/lib/${ltex.name}/lib
    ln -s ${jdk}/bin  $out/lib/${ltex.name}/${jdk.name}/bin
    ln -s ${jdk}/lib  $out/lib/${ltex.name}/${jdk.name}/lib
  '';
});

How can I fixed this issue with a less dirty trick?
I don’t know much yet about packaging Node packages with Nix, is it something usual (does not look like) that can be easily fixed in the build process?
