What is Nx?
Nx is a set of extensible dev tools for monorepos. In simpler terms, it’s a toolkit that helps you manage multiple projects under a single repository (known as a monorepo). It’s particularly popular for JavaScript and TypeScript-based projects, but it’s not limited to them.
Why Use Nx?
-
Code Sharing: Since all your projects are under one repo, you can easily share code among them without the need to publish packages to npm or manage multiple repositories.
-
Build Optimizations: Nx can intelligently build, test, and lint only the affected parts of your projects based on your changes, saving time and computational resources.
-
Extensible: Nx is built to be extensible, allowing for custom plugins and integrations with various other tools and frameworks.
