@nrwl/angular

What is @nrwl/angular?

@nrwl/angular is a set of tools and libraries for building Angular applications and libraries within a monorepo. It is part of the Nx suite, which provides powerful, extensible dev tools for monorepos, enabling developers to manage multiple projects and libraries in a single repository.

What are @nrwl/angular's main functionalities?

Generate Angular Applications

This command generates a new Angular application within the monorepo. It sets up the necessary files and configurations to get started with a new Angular project.

nx generate @nrwl/angular:application my-app

Generate Angular Libraries

This command generates a new Angular library within the monorepo. Libraries can be shared across multiple applications, promoting code reuse and modularity.

nx generate @nrwl/angular:library my-lib

Run Angular Application

This command serves the specified Angular application, starting a development server and enabling live reloading for a smooth development experience.

nx serve my-app

Build Angular Application

This command builds the specified Angular application for production, optimizing the output for deployment.

nx build my-app

Test Angular Application

This command runs the unit tests for the specified Angular application, ensuring code quality and correctness.

nx test my-app

Other packages similar to @nrwl/angular

angular-cli

The Angular CLI is a command-line interface tool that helps to automate the development workflow of Angular applications. It provides similar functionalities to @nrwl/angular, such as generating applications and libraries, serving applications, and running tests. However, it is not specifically designed for monorepos and does not offer the same level of integration and tooling for managing multiple projects within a single repository.

lerna

Lerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. It optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package repositories with git and npm. While Lerna is not specific to Angular, it can be used in conjunction with Angular projects to manage monorepos. However, it lacks the Angular-specific generators and integrations provided by @nrwl/angular.

nx

Nx is a set of extensible dev tools for monorepos, which includes support for Angular, React, and other frameworks. While @nrwl/angular is a part of the Nx suite specifically tailored for Angular, Nx itself provides a broader set of tools and capabilities for managing monorepos, including advanced caching, dependency graph visualization, and more.
