Introducing the Socket Python SDK
The initial version of the Socket Python SDK is now on PyPI, enabling developers to more easily interact with the Socket REST API in Python projects.
The Node Plugin for Nx contains generators to manage Node applications within an Nx workspace.
@nx/node is a package within the Nx build system that provides tools and utilities for developing Node.js applications. It helps in managing and scaling Node.js projects with features like project scaffolding, dependency management, and optimized builds.
Project Scaffolding
This command generates a new Node.js application within an Nx workspace. It sets up the necessary project structure, configuration files, and dependencies.
nx generate @nx/node:application my-app
Dependency Management
This command builds all projects in the workspace that have a build target. Nx handles the dependencies between projects, ensuring that they are built in the correct order.
nx run-many --target=build --all
Optimized Builds
This command builds the specified Node.js application in production mode. Nx optimizes the build process by caching and parallelizing tasks, resulting in faster builds.
nx build my-app --prod
Testing
This command runs the tests for the specified Node.js application. Nx integrates with popular testing frameworks like Jest to provide a seamless testing experience.
nx test my-app
Lerna is a tool for managing JavaScript projects with multiple packages. It optimizes the workflow around managing multi-package repositories with git and npm. Compared to @nx/node, Lerna is more focused on managing multiple packages and their interdependencies, while Nx provides a more comprehensive set of tools for building, testing, and deploying applications.
Webpack is a module bundler for JavaScript applications. It takes modules with dependencies and generates static assets representing those modules. While Webpack is highly configurable and powerful for bundling, @nx/node provides a higher-level abstraction for managing Node.js projects, including scaffolding, dependency management, and optimized builds.
Gulp is a toolkit for automating painful or time-consuming tasks in your development workflow. It uses a code-over-configuration approach to define tasks. Compared to @nx/node, Gulp is more focused on task automation and less on project structure and dependency management.
Nx is a build system with built-in tooling and advanced CI capabilities. It helps you maintain and scale monorepos, both locally and on CI.
Using npx
npx create-nx-workspace
