# Nix Development Environment
LLDAP provides a Nix flake that sets up a complete development environment with all necessary tools and dependencies.
## Requirements
- [Nix](https://nixos.org/download.html) with flakes enabled
- (Optional) [direnv](https://direnv.net/) for automatic environment activation
## Usage
```bash
# Clone the repository
git clone https://github.com/lldap/lldap.git
cd lldap
# Enter the development environment
nix develop
# Build the workspace
cargo build --workspace
# Run tests
cargo test --workspace
# Check formatting and linting
cargo fmt --check --all
cargo clippy --tests --workspace -- -D warnings
# Build frontend
./app/build.sh
# Export GraphQL schema (if needed)
./export_schema.sh
# Start development server
cargo run -- run --config-file lldap_config.docker_template.toml
```
## Building with Nix
You can also build LLDAP directly using Nix:
```bash
# Build the default package (server)
nix build
# Build and run
nix run
```
## Development Shells
The flake provides two development shells:
- `default` - Full development environment
- `ci` - Minimal environment similar to CI
```bash
# Use the CI-like environment
nix develop .#ci
```
## Automatic Environment Activation (Optional)
For automatic environment activation when entering the project directory:
1. Install direnv: `nix profile install nixpkgs#direnv`
2. Set up direnv shell hook in your shell configuration
3. Navigate to the project directory and allow direnv: `direnv allow`
4. The environment will automatically activate when entering the directory
