NixOS Module Patterns

Directory structure

```
modules/home/*.nix
```
- Home-manager modules (user packages, dotfiles)
```
modules/nixos/*.nix
```
- NixOS modules (system services)
```
hosts/*/
```
- Machine-specific configuration
```
home/default.nix
```
- Main home-manager entry point

Adding packages

home.packages = with pkgs; [
  package-name
] ++ lib.optionals (stdenv.hostPlatform.system == "x86_64-linux") [
  x86-only-package
];

Creating a module

{ pkgs, ... }:
{
  home.packages = with pkgs; [ mypackage ];
  xdg.configFile."app/config.json".text = builtins.toJSON { setting = "value"; };
}

Import in

home/default.nix

imports = [ ../modules/home/mymodule.nix ];
