nx-workspace

To list all projects in an Nx workspace, use the nx show projects command to get a full overview, then inspect individual targets and configurations using nx show project with JSON output for reliable parsing.

Inspecting dependencies in an Nx monorepo is best done using the nx graph command, which visualizes project relationships, or by reading JSON outputs from nx show project to identify implicit dependencies and tags.

Nx commands fail when reading partial configurations because the workspace relies on unified target definitions; always use JSON output from the Nx CLI to capture complete project configurations and avoid missing implicit dependencies.

Diagnose target configuration issues in a TypeScript Nx workspace by running nx show project with JSON output to audit the full structure, verifying that targets, tags, and dependencies are correctly mapped.

Yes, you can use the Nx CLI to audit workspace structure read-only, utilizing commands like nx show projects and nx graph to explore project configurations and dependencies without modifying any files.

Use nx graph when you need a visual dependency map of the workspace, and use nx show project when you need detailed JSON output of a specific project's targets, tags, and configuration for debugging.
