@nrwl/workspace
Advanced tools
Package description
The @nrwl/workspace npm package is part of Nx, which is a set of extensible dev tools for monorepos. It provides a consistent dev experience for different tools and frameworks, and it helps with tasks like running tasks, generating components, and managing dependencies within a monorepo.
Creating a new workspace
This command sets up a new workspace. It's the first step when starting a project with Nx.
npx create-nx-workspace@latest myworkspaceGenerating code
This command generates a new React component within a specified project in the workspace.
nx generate @nrwl/react:component my-component --project=myappRunning tasks
This command builds a specific application within the workspace.
nx run myapp:buildDependency Graph
This command visualizes the dependency graph of projects in the workspace, helping to understand the structure and dependencies of the monorepo.
nx dep-graphRunning affected commands
This command runs tests only for the projects affected by the latest changes, optimizing the CI process.
nx affected:testLerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. It optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package repositories with git and npm. Lerna is similar to @nrwl/workspace in that it helps manage monorepos but does not provide the same level of integration with various frameworks or the same CLI experience for code generation and task execution.
Yarn workspaces is a feature of Yarn that allows users to work with multiple packages in a single repository. It simplifies dependency management and enables the sharing of code between projects. While it provides some of the monorepo support that @nrwl/workspace does, it lacks the additional tools and commands for code generation and task execution.
Rush is a scalable monorepo manager for the web, designed to handle very large repositories. It provides incremental build and caching, rich support for package managers, and parallel execution. Rush compares to @nrwl/workspace in terms of monorepo management but has a different set of features and is more focused on large-scale operations.
Readme
🔎 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:

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!
