== Creating development environments using nix-shell == | |||
Instead of using configuration.nix to add packages (e.g. Python or NodeJS) for developing code on VSCode, you can instead use nix-shell. This will allow you to seamlessly create development environments with the correct packages for your project, without rebuilding and restarting NixOS. See [https://nixos.wiki/wiki/Development_environment_with_nix-shell this page] for further instructions in building nix-shell development environments. | |||
The extension [https://marketplace.visualstudio.com/items?itemName=arrterian.nix-env-selector nix-env-selector] will make switching between different nix-shell environments within VSCode so you can switch between different coding projects easily. It has a guide for setting up nix-shell environments for VSCode. | |||
