@nrwl/react
Advanced tools
@nrwl/react is a plugin for Nx, a set of extensible dev tools for monorepos, which provides support for building React applications. It offers a range of features to streamline the development, testing, and maintenance of React applications within a monorepo setup.
Generate React Applications
This command generates a new React application within the Nx workspace. It sets up the necessary configuration and boilerplate code to get started quickly.
nx generate @nrwl/react:application my-appGenerate React Libraries
This command generates a new React library within the Nx workspace. Libraries can be shared across multiple applications, promoting code reuse and modularity.
nx generate @nrwl/react:library my-libComponent Generation
This command generates a new React component within a specified project. It helps in maintaining a consistent structure and reduces the boilerplate code needed for new components.
nx generate @nrwl/react:component my-component --project=my-appTesting Support
This command runs the tests for a specified React application or library. Nx integrates with popular testing frameworks like Jest, making it easy to write and run tests.
nx test my-appLinting
This command runs linting checks on a specified React application or library. Nx integrates with ESLint to ensure code quality and consistency across the workspace.
nx lint my-appCreate React App is a popular tool for setting up a new React project with a single command. It provides a lot of the same boilerplate setup as @nrwl/react but is more focused on single-project setups rather than monorepos.
Lerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. While it doesn't provide specific support for React, it helps in managing monorepos, similar to Nx, but without the additional React-specific tooling provided by @nrwl/react.
React Scripts is a set of scripts and configuration used by Create React App. It abstracts the configuration for building, testing, and linting React applications, similar to how @nrwl/react provides these capabilities within an Nx workspace.
🔎 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!
