How do I create a config file?

In the documentation for Railway configuration files, I saw that you can use the .toml format Previously I used JSON format, and now I have a little difficulty with the transfer, it is not quite clear how to write it correctly. My early config:

{
    "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
    "build": {
        "builder": "NIXPACKS",
        "nixpacksPlan": {
            "providers": ["python"],
            "phases": {
                "setup": {"nixPkgs": ["...", "nodejs"]},
                "install_npm": {"cmds": ["npm ci --include=dev"], "dependsOn": ["setup"]},

                "tailwind": {
                        "cmds": [
                            "npx tailwindcss -i static/tailwind/input.css -o static/tailwind/output.css"
                        ],
                        "dependsOn": ["install"]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

{
    "$schema": "https://railway.app/railway.schema.json",
    "build": {
        "builder": "NIXPACKS",
        "nixpacksPlan": {
            "providers": ["python"],
            "phases": {
                "setup": {"nixPkgs": ["...", "nodejs"]},
                "install_npm": {"cmds": ["npm ci --include=dev"], "dependsOn": ["setup"]},

                "tailwind": {
                        "cmds": [
                            "npx tailwindcss -i static/tailwind/input.css -o static/tailwind/output.css"
                        ],
                        "dependsOn": ["install"]
                }
            }
        }
    }
}

Desirable:

[build]
builder = "nixpacks"

[deploy]
startCommand = "uvicorn main:app"
restartPolicyType = "never"

[build]
builder = "nixpacks"

[deploy]
startCommand = "uvicorn main:app"
restartPolicyType = "never"

    },
    "deploy": {
        "startCommand": "uvicorn main:app",

    }
}

unless you wanted to remove the node stuff?

I must have misspoken, I need to migrate the old json config to toml format

Brody•3mo ago

why? json is definitely better for this

x4zx•3mo ago

It seemed like a better option to me

Brody•3mo ago

you dont get auto complete in vscode with the toml file

x4zx•3mo ago

But if you say that json option is optimal, then I will trust your decision
