Template: NVF Standalone

Source

templates/nvf-standalone

The nvf-standalone template demonstrates how to use Den for other configurations outside NixOS/nix-Darwin/HM. For demo purposes this uses NVF Standalone to configure a runnable .#my-neovim app.

Initialize

mkdir my-neovim && cd my-neovim
nix flake init -t github:denful/den#nvf-standalone
nix flake update den
nix run .#my-neovim

Project Structure

flake.nix                  # dependencies including NVF
modules/
  den.nix                  # exposes the standalone neovim package + aspects
  nvf-integration.nix      # the den.lib.nvf helper: forward class + resolve
  header.txt               # dashboard header used by the `mine` variant

Key points:

• Runnable app — exposes .#my-neovim (and .#your-neovim)
• Custom forward class — a vim class that forwards into nvf.vim
• Aspect-to-module — den.lib.aspects.resolve "nvf" aspect turns an aspect tree into a plain NixOS-style module for nvf’s neovimConfiguration.
