## About

This is a feature-rich nix language server interoperating with C++ nix.

Some notable features provided by linking with the Nix library include:

- Nixpkgs option support, for all option system (NixOS/home-manager/flake-parts).

- Nixpkgs package complete, lazily evaluated.

- Shared eval caches (flake, file) with your system's Nix.

- Support for cross-file analysis (goto definition to locations in nixpkgs).

## Get Started

You can *try nixd without installation*.

We have tested some working & reproducible [editor environments](/nixd/docs/editors/editors.md).
