NodeNxNext

✨ Your new, shiny Nx workspace is ready ✨.

Learn more about this workspace setup and its capabilities or run npx nx graph to visually explore what was created. Now, let's get you up to speed!

Run tasks

To run the dev server for your app, use:

npx nx dev web

To create a production bundle:

npx nx build web

To see all available targets to run for a project, run:

npx nx show project web

These targets are either inferred automatically or defined in the project.json or package.json files.

More about running tasks in the docs »

Add new projects

While you could add new projects to your workspace manually, you might want to leverage Nx plugins and their code generation feature.

Use the plugin's generator to create new projects.

To generate a new application, use:

npx nx g @nx/next:app demo

To generate a new library, use:

npx nx g @nx/react:lib mylib

You can use npx nx list to get a list of installed plugins. Then, run npx nx list <plugin-name> to learn about more specific capabilities of a particular plugin. Alternatively, install Nx Console to browse plugins and generators in your IDE.

npx nx connect

Connecting to Nx Cloud ensures a fast and scalable CI pipeline. It includes features such as:

Step 2

Use the following command to configure a CI workflow for your workspace:

npx nx g ci-workflow
