Updated: Sep 8
Have you already used Nx? If yes, please share your thoughts in the comments.
If not - we are here to shed more light on the topic.
Nx is a library of very useful tools for monorepos creation, it offers lots of powerful integrations and a rapidly growing community. It allows storing several logically-related projects in one repository, for example, a web client, a mobile client, and a backend. Such a tool obviously improves collaboration inside a tech team and eases code reuse.
Perfectly fits for all the Javascript stacks - React, Angular, Node and many more (no matter, back- or front-end technology).
Nx provides top-notch support for monorepositories: this smart system is constantly investigating your workspace, it re-builds and re-tests only just what is essential to be further processed. No computation is processed twice!
Cutting edge Cloud support is surely to be provided, allowing you link-sharing, detailed build logs observation and offering you so much free space for project improvement.
Briefly, with Nx you get:
Smart rebuilds
Project graph
Distributed task performance
Computation caching
Simple code sharing
Advanced ownership management options.
It goes with an interactive dependency diagram to ensure a deeper understanding of your workspace:
Due to the platform openness and simplicity, plenty of Nx plugins can be used to significantly raise your productivity. How? Use high-quality VS Code plugin, interactive visualizations, smoothly integrate it with your GitHub and CI, create your own most convenient Nx Devkit.
Good news: Nx can help to save up to 50% of CI time.
That is why Nx is preferred by both tech & business people, startups and established businesses.
Try it to transform your development process, today!
