@nx/next

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

next

Next.js is a popular React framework for building server-side rendered and statically generated applications. While @nx/next integrates Next.js into an Nx workspace, the next package itself provides the core functionality for creating and managing Next.js applications without the additional Nx features.

create-next-app

create-next-app is a command-line tool for quickly creating new Next.js applications. It sets up a new Next.js project with a default configuration. Unlike @nx/next, it does not integrate with Nx and is focused solely on bootstrapping Next.js projects.

nx

Nx is a build system that provides powerful tools for managing monorepos and large codebases. While @nx/next is a plugin specifically for Next.js, the nx package itself offers a wide range of features for various frameworks and libraries, including Angular, React, and Node.js.
