# Packaging guidelines
|
||
|
|
||
|
## buildHomeAssistantComponent
|
||
|
|
||
|
Custom components should be packaged using the
|
||
|
`buildHomeAssistantComponent` function, that is provided at top-level.
|
||
|
It builds upon `buildPythonPackage` but uses a custom install and check
|
||
|
phase.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Python runtime dependencies can be directly consumed as unqualified
|
||
|
function arguments. Pass them into `propagatedBuildInputs`, for them to
|
||
|
be available to Home Assistant.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Out-of-tree components need to use Python packages from
|
||
|
`home-assistant.python.pkgs` as to not introduce conflicting package
|
||
|
versions into the Python environment.
|
||
|
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Example Boilerplate:**
|
||
|
|
||
|
```nix
|
||
|
{ lib
|
||
|
, buildHomeAssistantComponent
|
||
|
, fetchFromGitHub
|
||
|
}:
|
||
|
|
||
|
buildHomeAssistantComponent {
|
||
|
# owner, domain, version
|
||
|
|
||
|
src = fetchFromGithub {
|
||
|
# owner, repo, rev, hash
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
|
||
|
propagatedBuildInputs = [
|
||
|
# python requirements, as specified in manifest.json
|
||
|
];
|
||
|
|
||
|
meta = with lib; {
|
||
|
# changelog, description, homepage, license, maintainers
|
||
|
};
|
||
|
}
|
||
|
```
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Package attribute
|
||
|
|
||
|
The attribute name must reflect the domain as seen in the
|
||
|
`manifest.json`, which in turn will match the python module name below
|
||
|
in the `custom_components/` directory.
|
||
|
|
||
|
**Example:**
|
||
|
|
||
|
The project [mweinelt/ha-prometheus-sensor](https://github.com/mweinelt/ha-prometheus-sensor/blob/1.0.0/custom_components/prometheus_sensor/manifest.json#L2)
|
||
|
would receive the attribute name `"prometheus_sensor"`, because both
|
||
|
domain in the `manifest.json` as well as the module name are
|
||
|
`prometheus_sensor`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Package name
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `pname` attribute is a composition of both `owner` and `domain`.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Don't set `pname`, set `owner` and `domain` instead.
|
||
|
|
||
|
Exposing the `domain` attribute separately allows checking for
|
||
|
conflicting components at eval time.
|
||
|
|
||
|
## Manifest check
|
||
|
|
||
|
The `buildHomeAssistantComponent` builder uses a hook to check whether
|
||
|
the dependencies specified in the `manifest.json` are present and
|
||
|
inside the specified version range. It also makes sure derivation
|
||
|
and manifest agree about the domain name.
|
||
|
|
||
|
There shouldn't be a need to disable this hook, but you can set
|
||
|
`dontCheckManifest` to `true` in the derivation to achieve that.
