Core Features & Use Cases

List Available Plugins: Show how to enumerate installed and discoverable Nx plugins in the ecosystem.
Install and Configure Plugins: Explain the command to add a plugin and apply its workspace generators to enable framework or tool support.
Use Case: Add React support to an Nx monorepo, enable Storybook, or install testing and CI tooling without manual dependency wiring.

Quick Start

Use pnpm nx list to view available plugins and then run pnpm nx add <plugin> to install and configure a plugin such as @nx/react to add React support.

What is the best way to discover available Nx plugins for a monorepo?▼

The best way to discover available Nx plugins is by running `pnpm nx list` in your workspace. This command enumerates installed and discoverable Nx plugins across the ecosystem for easy evaluation.

Can I use this to add framework support like React or NestJS to an Nx workspace?▼

Yes, you can add framework support like React, NestJS, or Storybook to an Nx workspace. Run `pnpm nx add <plugin>` to install the desired package and apply its workspace generators automatically.

Do I need pnpm to install Nx plugins, or can I use nx directly?▼

You can use either pnpm or nx directly to install plugins. The Skill provides guidance for both `pnpm nx add <plugin>` and standard nx commands to ensure correct dependency wiring in your monorepo workspace.

Why does adding Nx plugins manually cause errors in a monorepo?▼

Adding Nx plugins manually causes monorepo errors because dependency wiring and workspace generator configuration are complex. Using `pnpm nx add <plugin>` ensures correct installation and applies necessary scaffolding automatically.

Does adding Nx plugins with this method configure testing and CI tooling?▼

Yes, adding Nx plugins with this method configures testing and CI tooling. Running `pnpm nx add <plugin>` installs the package and applies its workspace generators to enable tooling support without manual dependency wiring.
