Angular Plugin for Nx

The Nx Plugin for Angular contains executors, generators, and utilities for managing Angular applications, and libraries within an Nx workspace. It provides:

Integration with libraries such as Jest, Cypress, Karma, Protractor, and Storybook.
Helper services, and functions to use along with NgRx libraries.
Scaffolding for upgrading AngularJS applications.
Scaffolding for creating buildable libraries that can be published to npm.
Utilities for automatic workspace refactoring.

Adding the Angular plugin

Adding the Angular plugin to a workspace can be done with the following:

#yarn
yarn add @nrwl/angular

#npm
npm install @nrwl/angular

For more information about the @nrwl/angular package take a look at the Angular Plugin Overview.

Smart, Fast and Extensible Build System

Nx is a next generation build system with first class monorepo support and powerful integrations.

Getting Started

Creating an Nx Workspace

Using npx

npx create-nx-workspace

Using npm init

npm init nx-workspace

Using yarn create

yarn create nx-workspace

The create-nx-workspace command will ask you to select a preset, which will configure some plugins and create your applications to help you get started.

? What to create in the new workspace (Use arrow keys)
❯ apps              [an empty workspace with no plugins with a layout that works best for building apps]
  core              [an empty workspace with no plugins set up to publish npm packages (similar to yarn workspaces)]
  ts                [an empty workspace with the JS/TS plugin preinstalled]
  react             [a workspace with a single React application]
  angular           [a workspace with a single Angular application]
  next.js           [a workspace with a single Next.js application]
  gatsby            [a workspace with a single Gatsby application]
  nest              [a workspace with a single Nest application]
  express           [a workspace with a single Express application]
  web components    [a workspace with a single app built using web components]
  react-native      [a workspace with a single React Native application]
  react-express     [a workspace with a full stack application (React + Express)]

Select the preset that works best for you.

Adding Nx to an Existing Monorepo

Run:

npx add-nx-to-monorepo@latest


✔ Workspace name (e.g., org name)     · happyorg
✔ What to create in the new workspace · angular
✔ Application name                    · my app
✔ Default stylesheet format           · css

Serving Application

Run nx serve myapp to serve the newly generated application!
Run nx test myapp to test it.
Run nx e2e myapp-e2e to run e2e tests for it.

You can also use ng instead of nx:

Run ng serve myapp to serve the newly generated application!
Run ng test myapp to test it.
Run ng e2e myapp-e2e to run e2e tests for it.
