# json2nix

A json to nix converter written in Haskell.

You can use this easily with a flake.

Unformatted json is also supported.

## Usage

If you have something like this:

```

{

    "name": "Alice",

    "age": 21,

    "length_in_meters": 1.8,

    "best_friends": [

        {

            "name": "bob",

            "age": 19,

        },

        {

            "name": "Sem",

            "age": 19,

        }

    ],

    "favorite_movie": null

}

```

And you want something like this:

```nix

{

  name = "Alice";

  age = 21;

  length_in_meters = 1.8;

  best_friends = [

    {

      name = "Bob";

      age = 19;

    }

    {

      name = "Sem";

      age = 19;

    }

  ];

  favorite_movie = null;

}

```

You can do so by enabling nix flakes and run the following command in your shell:

```shell

nix run github:sempruijs/json2nix

```

This will install the required tools.

json2nix will ask two questions:

1. Choose a file path.

This could be something like: ```config.json```.

2. Choose a file name for the new nix file.

You can type something or hit enter for the suggestion.

This would be something like: ```config.nix```
