nx-workspace

To list all projects in an Nx workspace, use the nx show projects command with filters for tags, directories, and targets. This exposes every application and library without requiring you to manually glob through project files.

To inspect an Nx project configuration, run nx show project <name> --json. This command exposes specific targets, executors, options, inputs, outputs, and metadata without needing to dig through partial project configuration files.

Reading nx.json helps understand workspace defaults by explaining named inputs, plugins, and the overall configuration. It also reveals how workspace changes ripple through affected projects and their dependent tasks.

Yes, you can check Nx project dependencies before running tasks by probing the project graph and reading workspace references. This ensures accurate configuration data is verified before executing any commands.

The best way to debug a missing command in an Nx monorepo is to explore the project definitions and available targets using nx show. This verifies whether the executor is properly configured in the project metadata.

An Nx workspace task fails due to incorrect configuration when project definitions lack proper targets, executors, or inputs. Reading nx.json and project metadata ensures accurate configuration data before running tasks.
