# External Art
|
|
|
|
When you need to use a module, overlay, or pass a value from one of your inputs
|
|
|
|
to the rest of your NixOS configuration, [extern][extern] is where you do it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Modules and overlays are self explanatory, and the `specialArgs` attribute is
|
|
|
|
used to extend the arguments passed to all NixOS modules, allowing for
|
|
|
|
arbitrary values to be passed from flake inputs to the rest of your
|
|
|
|
configuration.

There is also an `hmModules` attribute set for pulling home-manager modules in
|
|
|
|
from the outside world:
|
|
|
|
```nix
|
|
|
|
{
|
|
|
|
hmModules = {
|
|
|
|
inherit (someFlake.hmModules) anHmModule;
|
|
|
|
};
|
|
|
|
}
|
|
|
|
```
