Nix
Using Astal on Nix will require you to package your project.
TypeScript
Using AGS as the bundler.
nix
{
inputs = {
nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
astal = {
url = "github:aylur/astal";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
ags = {
url = "github:aylur/ags";
inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
};
};
outputs = { self, nixpkgs, astal, ags }: let
system = "x86_64-linux";
pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
in {
packages.${system}. default = pkgs.stdenvNoCC.mkDerivation rec {
name = "my-shell";
src = ./.;
nativeBuildInputs = [
ags.packages.${system}.default
pkgs.wrapGAppsHook
pkgs.gobject-introspection
];
buildInputs = with astal.packages.${system}; [
astal3
io
# any other package
];
installPhase = ''
mkdir -p $out/bin
ags bundle app.ts $out/bin/${name}
'';
};
};
}
TIP
You can use any other bundler too like esbuild
which is what ags
uses under the hood.

Keep in mind that this is just the nix derivation and you still have to use some build tool like meson.
