# 40-path-inputs This example shows a local `path:` input that points at another flake inside the example directory. It includes: - one nested flake in `catalog/`, - pure release metadata exposed from that nested flake through `lib`, - one package that renders the imported data, and - a check that proves the parent flake is reading the child flake output. Useful commands: ```bash nix flake metadata nix build ./result/bin/show-local-plan nix flake check ```
