# Getting started | ||
|
||
> **Warning** These bindings are **experimental**, which means they can change | ||
> at any time or be removed outright; nevertheless the plan is to provide a | ||
> stable external C API to the Nix language and the Nix store. | ||
The language library allows evaluating Nix expressions and interacting with Nix | ||
language values. The Nix store API is still rudimentary, and only allows | ||
initialising and connecting to a store for the Nix language evaluator to | ||
interact with. | ||
|
||
Currently there are two ways to interface with the Nix language evaluator | ||
programmatically: | ||
|
||
1. Embedding the evaluator | ||
2. Writing language plug-ins | ||
|
||
Embedding means you link the Nix C libraries in your program and use them from | ||
there. Adding a plug-in means you make a library that gets loaded by the Nix | ||
language evaluator, specified through a configuration option. | ||
|
||
Many of the components and mechanisms involved are not yet documented, therefore | ||
please refer to the [Nix source code](https://github.com/NixOS/nix/) for | ||
details. Additions to in-code documentation and the reference manual are highly | ||
appreciated. | ||
|
||
The following examples, for simplicity, don't include error handling. See the | ||
[Handling errors](@ref errors) section for more information. | ||
|
||
# Embedding the Nix Evaluator | ||
|
||
In this example we programmatically start the Nix language evaluator with a | ||
dummy store (that has no store paths and cannot be written to), and evaluate the | ||
Nix expression `builtins.nixVersion`. | ||
|
||
**main.c:** | ||
|
||
```C | ||
#include <nix_api_util.h> | ||
#include <nix_api_expr.h> | ||
#include <nix_api_value.h> | ||
#include <stdio.h> | ||
#include <stdlib.h> | ||
#include <string.h> | ||
|
||
// NOTE: This example lacks all error handling. Production code must check for | ||
// errors, as some return values will be undefined. | ||
|
||
void my_get_string_cb(const char * start, unsigned int n, char ** user_data) | ||
{ | ||
*user_data = strdup(start); | ||
} | ||
|
||
int main() | ||
{ | ||
nix_libexpr_init(NULL); | ||
|
||
Store * store = nix_store_open(NULL, "dummy://", NULL); | ||
EvalState * state = nix_state_create(NULL, NULL, store); // empty search path (NIX_PATH) | ||
Value * value = nix_alloc_value(NULL, state); | ||
|
||
nix_expr_eval_from_string(NULL, state, "builtins.nixVersion", ".", value); | ||
nix_value_force(NULL, state, value); | ||
|
||
char * version; | ||
nix_get_string(NULL, value, my_get_string_cb, version); | ||
printf("Nix version: %s\n", version); | ||
|
||
free(version); | ||
nix_gc_decref(NULL, value); | ||
nix_state_free(state); | ||
nix_store_free(store); | ||
return 0; | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
**Usage:** | ||
```ShellSession | ||
$ gcc main.c $(pkg-config nix-expr-c --libs --cflags) -o main | ||
$ ./main | ||
Nix version: 2.17 | ||
``` | ||
|
||
# Writing a Nix language plug-in | ||
|
||
In this example we add a custom primitive operation (_primop_) to `builtins`. It | ||
will increment the argument if it is an integer and throw an error otherwise. | ||
|
||
**plugin.c:** | ||
|
||
```C | ||
#include <nix_api_util.h> | ||
#include <nix_api_expr.h> | ||
#include <nix_api_value.h> | ||
|
||
void increment(void* user_data, nix_c_context* ctx, EvalState* state, Value** args, Value* v) { | ||
nix_value_force(NULL, state, args[0]); | ||
if (nix_get_type(NULL, args[0]) == NIX_TYPE_INT) { | ||
nix_init_int(NULL, v, nix_get_int(NULL, args[0]) + 1); | ||
} else { | ||
nix_set_err_msg(ctx, NIX_ERR_UNKNOWN, "First argument should be an integer."); | ||
} | ||
} | ||
|
||
void nix_plugin_entry() { | ||
const char* args[] = {"n", NULL}; | ||
PrimOp *p = nix_alloc_primop(NULL, increment, 1, "increment", args, "Example custom built-in function: increments an integer", NULL); | ||
nix_register_primop(NULL, p); | ||
nix_gc_decref(NULL, p); | ||
} | ||
``` | ||
**Usage:** | ||
```ShellSession | ||
$ gcc plugin.c $(pkg-config nix-expr-c --libs --cflags) -shared -o plugin.so | ||
$ nix --plugin-files ./plugin.so repl | ||
nix-repl> builtins.increment 1 | ||
2 | ||
``` |
Oops, something went wrong.
