NixPkgs version badge #10025
Comments
We don't do badges that scrape web pages or require installing CLI tools to get the data. Is the necessary data available via some documented public API? Also, is this the same as #9551 or are they 2 different things? |
I will look into this, https://search.nixos.org/packages may not have this API. No, it is different from #9551 I'm referring only to official Nix packages in this repo https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs searchable here https://search.nixos.org/packages ; I'm not using the correct definition of "Nix package", which could be anywhere. Thanks |
馃搵 Description
I see the Hackage badge: https://shields.io/badges/hackage-version
Here is an example of it in use: https://github.com/haskell/haskell-language-server?tab=readme-ov-file#haskell-language-server
I assume that functions by making a call to Hackage Server.
It would be very cool to have a similar badge for NixPkgs. This is not limited to Haskell.
馃敆 Data
nix search
tool; this pulls from NixPkgs directly:https://nixos.org/manual/nix/stable/command-ref/new-cli/nix3-search
https://search.nixos.org/packages?channel=unstable&from=0&size=50&sort=relevance&type=packages&query=haskell-language-server
