FAQPage Schema

How do I create custom Nx generators for project scaffolding?▼

Nx generators are automated project scaffolding tools that use templates, prompts, and file-generation patterns. They enable consistent generator development and onboarding for new team members across Nx workspaces.

How do I add interactive prompts to an Nx generator?▼

You add interactive prompts to Nx generators by defining input fields in schema.json. The generator.ts implementation then reads these prompt responses to dynamically customize file generation and project scaffolding.

What is the recommended directory layout for Nx generator development?▼

The recommended directory layout for Nx generator tooling is under the tools/code-generator path. This convention standardizes templates, schemas, and generator.ts implementations to maintain consistent file generation.

Can I compose multiple Nx generators into a single scaffolding task?▼

Yes, you can compose multiple Nx generators using reusable patterns for multi-generator composition. This approach orchestrates complex project scaffolding workflows and ensures consistent file generation across an Nx workspace.

Do I need Nx to use these code generator patterns and templates?▼

Yes, these code generator patterns require an Nx workspace environment. They are specifically designed to automate the creation and extension of Nx generators by documenting schemas, interactive prompts, and file-generation structures.
