Struct Value 

pub struct Value<'a> { /* private fields */ }

A Nix value.

This represents any value in the Nix language, including primitives, collections, and functions.

Implementations

impl Value<'_>

pub fn force(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Force evaluation of this value.

If the value is a thunk, this will evaluate it to its final form.

Errors

Returns an error if evaluation fails.

pub fn force_deep(&mut self) -> Result<()>

Force deep evaluation of this value.

This forces evaluation of the value and all its nested components.

Errors

Returns an error if evaluation fails.

pub fn value_type(&self) -> ValueType

Get the type of this value.

pub fn as_int(&self) -> Result<i64>

Convert this value to an integer.

Errors

Returns an error if the value is not an integer.

pub fn as_float(&self) -> Result<f64>

Convert this value to a float.

Errors

Returns an error if the value is not a float.

pub fn as_bool(&self) -> Result<bool>

Convert this value to a boolean.

Errors

Returns an error if the value is not a boolean.

pub fn as_string(&self) -> Result<String>

Convert this value to a string.

Errors

Returns an error if the value is not a string.

pub fn to_nix_string(&self) -> Result<String>

Format this value as Nix syntax.

This provides a string representation that matches Nix’s own syntax, making it useful for debugging and displaying values to users.

Errors

Returns an error if the value cannot be converted to a string representation.
