SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Managing an Nx workspace often involves running the same set of tasks across multiple projects, which can be tedious and error-prone. This Skill provides clear guidance on how to run Nx tasks efficiently, ensuring consistency and speed.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Single-task execution: run a specific task for a given project.
  • Multi-task orchestration: run multiple tasks across projects with run-many.
  • Affected-project workflows: run tasks for only the projects impacted by changes.
  • Project target discovery: understand available targets via nx show project <name> --json.

Quick Start

Run a basic build for a project named myapp by executing nx run myapp:build

What is the best way to execute tasks across multiple projects in an Nx workspace?

Executing tasks across multiple projects in an Nx workspace is done using the nx run-many command, which supports parallel execution and project filtering for efficient multi-task orchestration.

Can I run Nx tasks only for projects affected by my recent changes?

Yes, you can run Nx tasks only for affected projects by using the nx affected command, which executes targets like build, test, and lint solely for projects impacted by your changes.

How do I discover available project targets defined in project.json or package.json in an Nx workspace?

To discover available project targets in an Nx workspace, run the nx show project command with the --json flag to output target configurations defined in project.json or package.json.

Does this Nx task runner support parallel execution and environment filtering for monorepo builds?

Yes, this Nx task runner supports parallel execution and project filtering to optimize monorepo builds, ensuring tasks run efficiently across compatible environments.
