# @nrwl/nest:controller

Run the `controller` NestJS generator with Nx project support.

## Usage

```bash
nx generate controller ...
```

By default, Nx will search for `controller` in the default collection provisioned in `angular.json`.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

```bash
nx g @nrwl/nest:controller ...
```

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

```bash
nx g controller ... --dry-run
```
