## `pkgs.substitute` {#pkgs-substitute}
|
|
|
|
`pkgs.substitute` is a wrapper around [the `substitute` Bash function](#fun-substitute) in the standard environment.
|
|
It replaces strings in `src` as specified by the `substitutions` argument.
|
|
|
|
|
|
:::{.example #ex-pkgs-substitute}
|
|
# Usage of `pkgs.substitute`
|
|
|
|
In a build script, the line:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
substitute $infile $outfile --replace-fail @foo@ ${foopkg}/bin/foo
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
is equivalent to:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ substitute, foopkg }:
|
|
substitute {
|
|
src = ./sourcefile.txt;
|
|
substitutions = [
|
|
"--replace"
|
|
"@foo@"
|
|
"${foopkg}/bin/foo"
|
|
];
|
|
}
|
|
```
|

## `pkgs.substituteAll` {#pkgs-substituteall}
|
|
|
|
`pkgs.substituteAll` substitutes all instances of `@varName@` (`@`s included) in file `src` with the value of the corresponding environment variable.
|
|
As this uses the [`substituteAll`] (#fun-substitute) function, its limitations regarding variable names that will or will not be replaced also apply here.
|
|
|
|
:::{.example #ex-pkgs-substituteAll}
|
|
# Usage of `pkgs.substituteAll`
|
|
|
|
If `say-goodbye.sh` contains the following:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
#! @bash@/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
echo @unchanged@
|
|
@hello@/bin/hello --greeting @greeting@
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
the following derivation will make substitutions to `@bash@`, `@hello@`, and `@greeting@`:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{
|
|
substituteAll,
|
|
bash,
|
|
hello,
|
|
}:
|
|
substituteAll {
|
|
src = ./say-goodbye.sh;
|
|
env = {
|
|
inherit bash hello;
|
|
greeting = "goodbye";
|
|
};
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
such that `$out` will result in something like the following:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
#! /nix/store/s30jrpgav677fpc9yvkqsib70xfmx7xi-bash-5.2p26/bin/bash
|
|
|
|
echo @unchanged@
|
|
/nix/store/566f5isbvw014h7knmzmxa5l6hshx43k-hello-2.12.1/bin/hello --greeting goodbye
|
|
```

## `pkgs.substituteAllFiles` {#pkgs-substituteallfiles}
|
|
|
|
`pkgs.substituteAllFiles` replaces `@varName@` with the value of the environment variable `varName`.
|
|
It expects `src` to be a directory and requires a `files` argument that specifies which files will be subject to replacements; only these files will be placed in `$out`.
|
|
|
|
As it also uses the `substituteAll` function, it is subject to the same limitations on environment variables as discussed in [pkgs.substituteAll](#pkgs-substituteall).
|
|
|
|
:::{.example #ex-pkgs-substitute-all-files}
|
|
# Usage of `pkgs.substituteAllFiles`
|
|
|
|
If the current directory contains `{foo,bar,baz}.txt` and the following `default.nix`
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
{ substituteAllFiles }:
|
|
substituteAllFiles {
|
|
src = ./.;
|
|
files = [
|
|
"foo.txt"
|
|
"bar.txt"
|
|
];
|
|
hello = "there";
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
in the resulting derivation, every instance of `@hello@` will be replaced with `there` in `$out/foo.txt` and` `$out/bar.txt`; `baz.txt` will not be processed nor will it appear in `$out`.
