@nx/next:application

Create a Next.js Application for Nx.

Examples

Directory Flag Behavior Changes

The command below uses the as-provided directory flag behavior, which is the default in Nx 16.8.0. If you're on an earlier version of Nx or using the derived option, use --directory=nested. See the as-provided vs. derived documentation for more details.

❯

nx g app myapp --directory=apps/nested/myapp

Usage

1nx generate application ... 2
1nx g app ... #same 2

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/next:application ... 2

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

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