nx test my-appExpress Generator is a tool for quickly creating an Express application skeleton. It provides a basic project structure and configuration for building Express-based Node.js applications. Unlike @nrwl/node, it is focused solely on Express applications and does not provide the broader monorepo management capabilities.
Nest CLI is a command-line interface for creating and managing NestJS applications. It offers similar functionalities to @nrwl/node, such as generating applications, building, and testing. However, it is specifically tailored for NestJS, a framework for building efficient, scalable Node.js server-side applications.
Create React App is a tool for setting up a new React application with a single command. While it is focused on React applications, it provides a similar developer experience in terms of project setup, build, and development workflows. It does not offer the same level of integration with Node.js backend development as @nrwl/node.
@nrwl/node has been renamed to @nx/node. Please use that instead.
@nrwl/node will no longer be published in the future.
Nx is a build system, optimized for monorepos, with plugins for popular frameworks and tools and advanced CI capabilities including caching and distribution.
