This is a Nix Flake that provides utilities for building extensions for the Nova editor:

• provides a Nix function to compile Tree Sitter grammars for use with Nova
• lets you define configuration items that can be set globally while being overridable per workspace
• provides JS utilities to reduce boilerplate code in your extension concerning language servers and fetching configuration items
• Nix Flakes allow you to easily depend on external tree sitter grammars without git submodule or copying the grammar source.

The general workflow for a Nova extension built with nova-extension-utils is as follows:

• You create a flake.nix in your repository and reference nova-extension-utils there.
• In flake.nix, you can instruct nix to compile tree sitter grammars (optional).
• Also in flake.nix, you define the contents of your extension's extension.json.
• nova-extension-utils will automatically recognize relevant folders in your repository (Syntaxes, Scripts, Images, …). Readme-user.md or, if this doesn't exist, Readme.md, are copied into the generated extension as Readme file.
• Via nix build, you can build your extension, giving you result/<name>.novaextension.
• For testing, you can open result/<name>.novaextension in a separate Nova window and enable it locally from there.
• Also from there, you can publish your extension.
