Issue in using electron app on wayland, nixos (piefed.social)

I want to use an electron based app named trilium notes on my system.
I got wayland/niri on nixos
I installed trilium by writing it in configuration.nix and rebuilt system but after starting trillium it gives following error

[7292:0311/205146.782132:ERROR:ozone_platform_x11.cc(240)] Missing X server or $DISPLAY
[7292:0311/205146.782227:ERROR:env.cc(255)] The platform failed to initialize. Exiting.
The futex facility returned an unexpected error code.
Aborted (core dumped)

I tried setting ELECTRON_OZONE_PLATFORM_HINT=auto and DISPLAY=:0 in all three combinations.
This is all I got from internet.
And nothing worked.

So basically I need help from community
Thanks
