# @nrwl/detox:application

Create a detox application

## Usage

```bash
nx generate application ...
```

```bash
nx g app ... # same
```

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

```bash
nx g @nrwl/detox:application ...
```

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

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