Napalm
A Nix-based tool for building npm packages and serving as a lightweight npm registry.
What is Napalm?
Napalm is a Nix-based tool for building npm packages within the Nix ecosystem, providing deterministic builds and dependency management. It solves the problem of integrating JavaScript/Node.js projects into Nix by handling package locks, patching dependencies, and serving as a local npm registry. It ensures reproducible builds by leveraging Nix's sandboxing and immutable store.
Nix users and developers who need to integrate npm-based JavaScript projects into Nix builds, especially those working in monorepos or requiring custom patching of dependencies.
Developers choose Napalm for its deep integration with Nix, offering reproducible builds, flexible patching, and local registry capabilities without leaving the Nix ecosystem. It provides more control and determinism compared to traditional npm workflows.
