175 my-packages

182 └── my-namespace
183 ├── d.nix
184 ├── e.nix
185 └── f
186 └── package.nix
187 ```
188
189 `packagesFromDirectoryRecursive` will produce an attribute set like this:
190
191 ```nix
192 # packagesFromDirectoryRecursive {
193 # callPackage = pkgs.callPackage;
194 # directory = ./my-packages;
195 # }
196 {
197 a = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/a.nix { };
198 b = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/b.nix { };
199 c = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/c/package.nix { };
200 my-namespace = {
201 d = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/d.nix { };
202 e = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/e.nix { };
203 f = pkgs.callPackage ./my-packages/my-namespace/f/package.nix { };
204 };
205 }
206 ```
207
208 In particular:
209 - If the input directory contains a `package.nix` file, then
210 `callPackage <directory>/package.nix { }` is returned.
211 - Otherwise, the input directory's contents are listed and transformed into
212 an attribute set.
213 - If a file name has the `.nix` extension, it is turned into attribute
214 where:
215 - The attribute name is the file name without the `.nix` extension
216 - The attribute value is `callPackage <file path> { }`
217 - Other files are ignored.
218 - Directories are turned into an attribute where:
219 - The attribute name is the name of the directory
220 - The attribute value is the result of calling
221 `packagesFromDirectoryRecursive { ... }` on the directory.
222
223 As a result, directories with no `.nix` files (including empty
224 directories) will be transformed into empty attribute sets.
