FAQPage Schema

How do I scaffold code in a monorepo using Nx generators?▼

Nx generators automate code scaffolding in monorepos by running `nx generate [generator-path] [options]` to create new features, libraries, or components. Workspace-plugin generators are prioritized for internal tooling; standard Nx generators serve as fallbacks when workspace solutions don't fit.

What's the best way to automate repetitive setup tasks in an Nx workspace?▼

Use Nx generators to automate setup tasks by executing workspace-plugin generators first, then standard Nx generators. Run dry-runs to preview changes, test affected projects with `nx affected -t test`, and format code with `npx prettier --write` to ensure quality.

Can I prioritize workspace-plugin generators over standard Nx generators?▼

Yes. This Skill prioritizes workspace-plugin generators from your internal tooling before falling back to standard Nx generators, letting you leverage custom scaffolding solutions while maintaining flexibility for general-purpose generation.

How do I verify generated code works correctly in my monorepo?▼

After running `nx generate`, verify changes by reviewing outputs, running tests on affected projects with `nx affected -t test`, and formatting generated code with Prettier to ensure consistency and correctness.

Do I need to understand generator schemas before using Nx generators?▼

Understanding generator schemas helps you pass correct options to `nx generate`, but this Skill fetches schemas automatically, so you can explore available options and execute generators safely without prior schema knowledge.
