What is @nx/next?

@nx/next is a plugin for Nx, a smart, fast, and extensible build system, that provides support for Next.js applications. It allows developers to efficiently manage and build Next.js projects within an Nx workspace, leveraging Nx's powerful features like dependency graph visualization, task scheduling, and more.

What are @nx/next's main functionalities?

Creating a Next.js Application

This command generates a new Next.js application within an Nx workspace. It sets up the necessary configuration and files to get started with a Next.js project.

npx nx generate @nx/next:application my-next-app

Building a Next.js Application

This command builds the Next.js application for production. It uses Nx's build system to optimize the build process, ensuring efficient and fast builds.

npx nx build my-next-app

Serving a Next.js Application

This command serves the Next.js application in development mode. It sets up a local development server with hot-reloading, making it easy to develop and test the application.

npx nx serve my-next-app

Linting a Next.js Application

This command runs linting on the Next.js application using the configured linter. It helps maintain code quality and consistency by identifying and fixing linting issues.

npx nx lint my-next-app

Testing a Next.js Application

This command runs unit tests on the Next.js application using the configured testing framework. It ensures that the application works as expected by running automated tests.

npx nx test my-next-app
