attrValues :: AttrSet -> [Any] Get all the attribute values from an attribute set. Provides a backwards-compatible interface of builtins.attrValues for Nix version older than 1.8. attrs The attribute set. [ 1 2 3 ] ]]>

catAttrs :: String -> AttrSet -> [Any] Collect each attribute named `attr' from the list of attribute sets, sets. Sets that don't contain the named attribute are ignored. Provides a backwards-compatible interface of builtins.catAttrs for Nix version older than 1.9. attr Attribute name to select from each attribute set in sets. sets The list of attribute sets to select attr from. Attribute sets which don't have the attribute are ignored. [ 1 2 ] ]]>

filterAttrs :: (String -> Any -> Bool) -> AttrSet -> AttrSet Filter an attribute set by removing all attributes for which the given predicate return false. pred String -> Any -> Bool Predicate which returns true to include an attribute, or returns false to exclude it. name The attribute's name value The attribute's value Returns true to include the attribute, false to exclude the attribute. set The attribute set to filter { foo = 1; } ]]>

filterAttrsRecursive :: (String -> Any -> Bool) -> AttrSet -> AttrSet Filter an attribute set recursively by removing all attributes for which the given predicate return false. pred String -> Any -> Bool Predicate which returns true to include an attribute, or returns false to exclude it. name The attribute's name value The attribute's value Returns true to include the attribute, false to exclude the attribute. set The attribute set to filter { levelA = { example = "hi"; levelB = { hello = "there"; this-one-is-present = { }; }; }; } ]]>

foldAttrs :: (Any -> Any -> Any) -> Any -> [AttrSets] -> Any Apply fold function to values grouped by key. op Any -> Any -> Any Given a value val and a collector col, combine the two. val An attribute's value col The result of previous op calls with other values and nul. nul The null-value, the starting value. list_of_attrs A list of attribute sets to fold together by key. { a = [ 2 3 ]; b = [ 7 6 ]; } ]]>

collect :: (Any -> Bool) -> AttrSet -> [Any] Recursively collect sets that verify a given predicate named pred from the set attrs. The recursion stops when pred returns true. pred Any -> Bool Given an attribute's value, determine if recursion should stop. value The attribute set value. attrs The attribute set to recursively collect. [["b"] [1]] ]]> [{ outPath = "a/"; } { outPath = "b/"; }] ]]>

nameValuePair :: String -> Any -> AttrSet Utility function that creates a {name, value} pair as expected by builtins.listToAttrs. name The attribute name. value The attribute value. { name = "some"; value = 6; } ]]>

Apply a function to each element in an attribute set, creating a new attribute set. Provides a backwards-compatible interface of builtins.mapAttrs for Nix version older than 2.1. fn String -> Any -> Any Given an attribute's name and value, return a new value. name The name of the attribute. value The attribute's value. { x = "x-foo"; y = "y-bar"; } ]]>

mapAttrs' :: (String -> Any -> { name = String; value = Any }) -> AttrSet -> AttrSet Like mapAttrs, but allows the name of each attribute to be changed in addition to the value. The applied function should return both the new name and value as a nameValuePair. fn String -> Any -> { name = String; value = Any } Given an attribute's name and value, return a new name value pair. name The name of the attribute. value The attribute's value. set The attribute set to map over. { foo_x = "bar-a"; foo_y = "bar-b"; } ]]>

mapAttrsToList :: (String -> Any -> Any) -> AttrSet -> Any Call fn for each attribute in the given set and return the result in a list. fn String -> Any -> Any Given an attribute's name and value, return a new value. name The name of the attribute. value The attribute's value. set The attribute set to map over. [ "x=a" "y=b" ] ]]>

mapAttrsRecursive :: ([String] > Any -> Any) -> AttrSet -> AttrSet Like mapAttrs, except that it recursively applies itself to attribute sets. Also, the first argument of the argument function is a list of the names of the containing attributes. f [ String ] -> Any -> Any Given a list of attribute names and value, return a new value. name_path The list of attribute names to this value. For example, the name_path for the example string in the attribute set { foo = { bar = "example"; }; } is [ "foo" "bar" ]. value The attribute's value. set The attribute set to recursively map over. { n = { a = "n-a-A"; m = { b = "n-m-b-B"; c = "n-m-c-C"; }; }; d = "d-D"; } ]]>

mapAttrsRecursiveCond :: (AttrSet -> Bool) -> ([ String ] -> Any -> Any) -> AttrSet -> AttrSet Like mapAttrsRecursive, but it takes an additional predicate function that tells it whether to recursive into an attribute set. If it returns false, mapAttrsRecursiveCond does not recurse, but does apply the map function. It is returns true, it does recurse, and does not apply the map function. cond (AttrSet -> Bool) Determine if mapAttrsRecursive should recurse deeper in to the attribute set. attributeset An attribute set. f [ String ] -> Any -> Any Given a list of attribute names and value, return a new value. name_path The list of attribute names to this value. For example, the name_path for the example string in the attribute set { foo = { bar = "example"; }; } is [ "foo" "bar" ]. value The attribute's value. set The attribute set to recursively map over. { dorecur = { hello = "\"there\""; recurse = "true"; }; dontrecur = "{\"converted-to\":\"json\"}"; } ]]>
