SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Generates code scaffolds and project structures using Nx generators to accelerate monorepo work, reducing boilerplate and inconsistencies across projects.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Scaffold apps and libs: quickly create new workspace artifacts that follow repo conventions.
  • Run workspace generators: apply migrations, code scaffolding, and setup tasks with minimal effort.
  • Discovery-first workflow: orchestrates generator selection and validation before executing actions.

Quick Start

Ask the Nx generator to scaffold a new app or library in non-interactive mode.

FAQPage Schema
How do I scaffold a new app or library in an Nx workspace?

To scaffold a new app or library in an Nx workspace, you select and run the appropriate Nx generator in non-interactive mode. This applies repo conventions to the project structure, reducing boilerplate and inconsistencies across the monorepo.

What is the best way to automate project scaffolding in an Nx monorepo?

Automating project scaffolding in an Nx monorepo is best achieved by using Nx generators. They accelerate monorepo work by orchestrating generator selection, applying migrations, and validating results with lint, build, or typecheck steps before executing actions.

How does an Nx generator work when creating new workspace artifacts?

An Nx generator works by using a discovery-first workflow that orchestrates generator selection and validation before executing actions. It requires knowledge of generator options and adheres to non-interactive usage to ensure the new workspace artifacts follow repo conventions.

Can I run workspace generators non-interactively for code scaffolding?

Yes, you can run workspace generators non-interactively for code scaffolding. The Nx generator skill requires non-interactive usage and validates the generated results by running lint, build, and typecheck steps after applying the scaffold.

Do I need to know generator options before using Nx for project scaffolding?

Yes, you need knowledge of generator options before using Nx for project scaffolding. The automation process selects and runs the appropriate generator based on these options and applies repo conventions to ensure consistency across the workspace.
