[question] files.files structure

[vidhanio]

Hi there, I have recently switched my config to use dendritic nix, and as part of that have incorporated flake-file and files to make everything in my repo reproducible as well.

When working with files, I ended up creating a wrapper around files which mimicks environment.etc/home.file, under files.file.<name>.{source,text}. Is there a reason why an API like this wasn't chosen for this project, instead choosing to have it be a list? Additionally, would it be useful to contribute this alternative API to this repo?

Thanks for all the great work on dendritic nix, your infra flake was a great inspiration for my config. :)

So sorry. I do not know why my watch settings for this repo were incorrect! I will get to this soon.

Thank you for your kind words and feedback.

Can you point me at some usage examples for this wrapper please?

@mightyiam sure, here is one simple from my config used for LICENSE:

You can search files.file in my repo for some more. I use it to generate my .envrc, .gitignore, and README.md as well.
