@nx/react:library

Create a React Library for an Nx workspace.

Usage

1nx generate library ... 2
1nx g lib ... #same 2

By default, Nx will search for library in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/react:library ... 2

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

1nx g library ... --dry-run 2

Examples

Generate libs/myapp/mylib:

1nx g lib mylib --directory=myapp 2

Generate a library with routes and add them to myapp:

1nx g lib mylib --appProject=myapp 2
