I am trying to use the ironbar home-manager module, but I get this error:

error: attempt to call something which is not a function but a set

       at /nix/store/654cn2v25aifhgqrf4q2rj8fk1brncz5-source/flake.nix:106:31:

          105|       cfg = config.programs.ironbar;
          106|       defaultIronbarPackage = self.packages.${pkgs.hostPlatform.system}.default [];
             |                               ^
          107|       jsonFormat = pkgs.formats.json {};
(use '--show-trace' to show detailed location information)

I am using nixpkgs unstable. Here are (I think) all the relevant parts of my config.

flake.nix:

{
  description = "Home Manager configuration";

  inputs = {
    nixpkgs.url = "github:nixos/nixpkgs/nixos-unstable";
    home-manager = {
      url = "github:nix-community/home-manager";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
    ironbar = {
      url = "github:JakeStanger/ironbar";
      inputs.nixpkgs.follows = "nixpkgs";
    };
    hyprland.url = "github:hyprwm/Hyprland";
  };

  outputs = { nixpkgs, home-manager, hyprland, ironbar, ...} @ inputs:
    let
      system = "x86_64-linux";
      pkgs = nixpkgs.legacyPackages.${system};
    in {
      homeConfigurations.riley = home-manager.lib.homeManagerConfiguration {
        inherit pkgs;
        modules = [
          hyprland.homeManagerModules.default
          ironbar.homeManagerModules.default
          ./home.nix
        ];
      };
    };
}

And in ironbar.nix, which I import from home.nix I have this:

{ ... }: {
  programs.ironbar = {
    enable = true;
    config = {};
    style = "";
}

I am pretty new to nix; apologies if I missed something really obvious.
