@nrwl/angular
Advanced tools
@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.
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-appGenerate 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-libRun 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-appBuild Angular Application
This command builds the specified Angular application for production, optimizing the output for deployment.
nx build my-appTest Angular Application
This command runs the unit tests for the specified Angular application, ensuring code quality and correctness.
nx test my-appThe 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 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 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.
🔎 Nx is a set of Angular CLI power-ups for modern development.
Using Nx, you can add Cypress, Jest, Prettier, and Nest into your dev workflow. Nx sets up these tools and allows you to use them seamlessly. Nx fully integrates with the other modern tools you already use and love.
With Nx, you can build full-stack applications using Angular and Node.js frameworks such as Nest and Express. You can share code between the frontend and the backend. And you can use the familiar ng build/test/serve commands to power whole dev experience.
With Nx, you can develop multiple full-stack applications holistically and share code between them all in the same workspace. Nx provides advanced tools which help you scale your enterprise development. Nx helps enforce your organization’s standards and community best practices.
Most importantly, you can use these power-ups a la carte. Just want to build a single Angular application using Cypress? Nx is still an excellent choice for that.
Nx is not a replacement for Angular CLI. An Nx workspace is an Angular CLI workspace.
ng build, ng serve commands.angular.json.Using npx
npx create-nx-workspace myworkspace
Using npm init
npm init nx-workspace myworkspace
Using yarn create
yarn create nx-workspace myworkspace
If you already have a regular Angular CLI project, you can add Nx power-ups by running:
ng add @nrwl/schematics
Unlike the CLI, an Nx workspace starts blank. There are no applications to build, serve, and test. To create one run:
ng g application myapp
The result will look like this:
<workspace name>/

All the files that the CLI would have in a new project are still here, just in a different folder structure which makes it easier to create more applications and libraries in the future.
Run ng serve myapp to serve the newly generated application!
You are good to go!
