@nx/plugin:plugin

Create a Plugin for Nx.

Usage

1nx generate plugin ... 2

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/plugin:plugin ... 2

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

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

Examples

Generates an Nx plugin project called plugins-my-plugin at libs/plugins/my-plugin. The project will have an npm package name and import path of @myorg/my-plugin.:

1nx g plugin my-plugin --directory=plugins --importPath=@myorg/my-plugin 2
