SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Nx generators streamline scaffolding and project setup within a monorepo, eliminating boilerplate and ensuring consistent boilerplate across apps and libs.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Discover and run local or plugin generators to create applications, libraries, and tooling within a workspace.
  • Validate generator options with --help, perform non-interactive runs, and verify changes with a dry-run before applying them.
  • Align new artifacts with existing project conventions by inspecting generator sources and repository patterns.

Quick Start

Generate a new library with an Nx generator using --no-interactive and verify with a dry-run first.

FAQPage Schema
How do I automate scaffolding for a new library in an Nx monorepo?▼

Run Nx generators non-interactively to scaffold libraries or apps in a monorepo. Validate options with --help and verify changes with a --dry-run before applying them to your workspace.

What is the best way to ensure new apps and libs match existing workspace conventions?▼

Inspect generator sources and repository patterns to align new artifacts with existing conventions. This ensures consistent boilerplate across applications and libraries when scaffolding projects within the monorepo.

Can I run Nx generators non-interactively to automate project setup in CI?▼

Yes, Nx generators enforce non-interactive usage to automate project setup and migrations. This allows applying boilerplate code and generating applications or libraries without manual prompts.

How do I validate Nx generator options before modifying my workspace?▼

Validate generator options by checking --help output and performing a --dry-run. This verifies the exact changes before you actually apply them to the monorepo workspace.

What does an Nx generator do during a monorepo migration?▼

An Nx generator automates workspace migrations by applying boilerplate code and structural updates. It reads generator sources to determine behavior and executes changes non-interactively across the monorepo.

When should I use Nx generators instead of manually creating monorepo projects?▼

Use Nx generators when you need to eliminate boilerplate and ensure consistent structure across apps and libs. Manually creating projects risks divergence from established workspace conventions and patterns.
