Zig

Getting Started

The simplest way to get started with Zig is to use the version attribute, which automatically sets up both the Zig compiler and ZLS (Zig Language Server) from the zig-overlay:

languages.zig = {
  enable = true;
  version = "0.15.1";
};

This will automatically: - Use the specified Zig version from zig-overlay - Install the corresponding ZLS version (e.g., version "0.15.1" uses ZLS 0.15.0)

Alternatively, you can manually specify packages:

languages.zig = {
  enable = true;
  package = pkgs.zig;
  zls.package = pkgs.zls;
};

Options

languages.zig.enable

Whether to enable tools for Zig development.

Type: boolean

Default:

languages.zig.package

Which package of Zig to use.

Type: package

Default:

pkgs.zig

languages.zig.lsp.enable

Whether to enable Zig Language Server.

Type: boolean

Default:

true

Example:

true

languages.zig.lsp.package

The Zig language server package to use.

Type: package

Default:

pkgs.zls

Declared by: - https://github.com/cachix/devenv/blob/main/src/modules/languages/zig.nix

languages.zig.version

The Zig version to use. This automatically sets the languages.zig.package and languages.zig.lsp.package using zig-overlay.
