/**
|
|
`replaceVars` is a wrapper around the [bash function `substitute`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute)
|
|
in the stdenv. It allows for terse replacement of names in the specified path, while checking
|
|
for common mistakes such as naming a replacement that does nothing or forgetting a variable which
|
|
needs to be replaced.
|
|
|
|
As with the [`--subst-var-by`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute-subst-var-by)
|
|
flag, names are encoded as `@name@` in the provided file at the provided path.
|
|
|
|
Any unmatched variable names in the file at the provided path will cause a build failure.
|
|
|
|
By default, any remaining text that matches `@[A-Za-z_][0-9A-Za-z_'-]@` in the output after replacement
|
|
has occurred will cause a build failure. Variables can be excluded from this check by passing "null" for them.
|
|
|
|
# Inputs
|
|
|
|
`src` ([Store Path](https://nixos.org/manual/nix/latest/store/store-path.html#store-path) String)
|
|
: The file in which to replace variables.
|
|
|
|
`replacements` (AttrsOf String)
|
|
: Each entry in this set corresponds to a `--subst-var-by` entry in [`substitute`](https://nixos.org/manual/nixpkgs/stable/#fun-substitute) or
|
|
null to keep it unchanged.
|
|
|
|
# Example
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ replaceVars }:
|
|
|
|
replaceVars ./greeting.txt { world = "hello"; }
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
See `../../test/replace-vars/default.nix` for tests of this function.
