nx-generators

Use Nx generators to scaffold code artifacts with `pnpm nx g [generator-name]`. For example, create a React app with `pnpm nx g @nx/react:application myapp`. Generators apply built-in best practices and formatting automatically.

Yes, use the `--dry-run` flag to preview all changes before applying them. Run `pnpm nx g [generator-name] --dry-run` to see what files will be created or modified without committing changes.

Run `pnpm nx list` to display all available generators and plugins. Use `pnpm nx g [generator-name] --help` to view specific options and arguments for any generator before execution.

Nx generators require pnpm and the Nx CLI installed in your workspace. After generation completes, run `pnpm nx format:write` to enforce consistent code formatting across your scaffolded artifacts.

Yes, use `pnpm nx add [plugin-name]` to install and register new generator plugins. This discovers additional generators beyond the core Nx offerings available in your workspace.

Generators apply consistent project structure and best practices automatically, reducing setup errors and saving time. Dry-run preview lets you validate changes before committing, making scaffold creation safer and more predictable.
