SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Coordinating and running tasks across multiple Nx projects can be tedious and error-prone. This Skill provides a simple, unified way to execute builds, tests, linting, serves, and other defined targets from a single place.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Run a single task: nx run <project>:<task>.
  • Run multiple tasks: nx run-many -t build test lint.
  • Run affected tasks: nx affected -t <task> to apply changes to impacted projects.

Quick Start

Run a simple task in your workspace with nx run <project>:<task> to execute it.

FAQPage Schema
How do I run Nx tasks across multiple projects in a monorepo?

You can run Nx tasks across multiple projects using the nx run-many command with specified targets like build, test, and lint. This orchestrates workspace workflows from a single execution point.

What is the best way to execute only Nx tasks affected by recent changes?

Executing Nx affected tasks is the best way to run targets only on projects impacted by your changes. Use the nx affected -t <task> command to apply builds or tests selectively across the workspace.

Can I run a single build or test target for one project in an Nx workspace?

Yes, you can run a single build or test target for one project using the nx run <project>:<task> command. This executes the specific target defined in your project.json or workspace.json configuration.

Do I need an existing Nx configuration to run workspace tasks?

Yes, you need existing Nx configuration files like project.json or workspace.json to run workspace tasks. The Skill queries project targets using these configs and executes them via standard Nx commands.

How does querying an Nx project target work before running a task?

Querying an Nx project target works by using the nx show project --json command to retrieve target configurations. This inspects available tasks before executing them with commands like nx run or nx run-many.

What types of Nx workspace tasks can I orchestrate besides builds?

Besides builds, you can orchestrate Nx workspace tasks such as test, lint, and serve targets. The Skill applies to both single and multi-task scenarios within your Nx monorepo development workflows.
