Pass NixOS options to home-manager module

Help
1

I’m trying to make a configurations system for my own use.

For that I just define a bunch of configuration options in a separate flake and then add it to my NixOS config flake. Then I can just do things like

{
plug.user.enableHomeManager = true;
plug.sway.enable = true;
}

to enable different parts of this configuration. In this example, I would like to somehow pass this plug.sway.enable option to home-manager module so it can enable sway-related options. But I’m struggling to find how to do it. config passed to home-manager is it’s own config and I didn’t find how to pass NixOS config to home-manager via something like extraSpecialArgs.

I would be glad if someone explained how it can be done.
