Typix

Typix aims to make it easier to use Nix in Typst projects.

• Dependency management: supports arbitrary dependencies including fonts, images, and data
• Reproducible: via a hermetically sealed build environment

Features

• Automatically fetch dependencies and compile in a single command (nix run .#build)
• Watch input files and recompile on changes (nix run .#watch)
• Set up a shell environment with all dependencies made available via environment variables and symlinks
• Extensible via mkTypstDerivation
• Support for dependencies such as:
  • fonts
  • images
  • data

Typst packages are currently unsupported, however there is a workaround.

Getting Started

After installing Nix and enabling flakes, you can initialize a flake from the default template:

nix flake init -t github:loqusion/typix

Here are some commands you can run from the default template:

• nix run .#watch — watch the input files and recompile on changes
• nix run .#build — compile and copy the output to the current directory
