# JavaScript and TypeScript
|
|
|
|
Nx is a general-purpose build system and a general-purpose CLI. It works with JavaScript, TypeScript, Java, C#, Go, etc.. The core plugins Nx comes with do work best with JavaScript or TypeScript.
|

|
|
TypeScript is a great choice for many teams, but not for everyone. If you want to use Nx with JavaScript, simply pass `--js` to all generate commands, as follows:
|
|
|
|
```shell
|
|
nx g @nx/react:app myapp --js
|
|
nx g @nx/react:component mycmp --project=myapp --js
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You can build/test/lint/serve your applications and libraries the same way whether you use JavaScript and TypeScript. You can also mix and match them.
|
|
|
|
Regardless whether you use JavaScript or TypeScript, you will have a `tsconfig.base.json` file at the root of the workspace. **It's not used to build the applications and libraries in the workspace. It's only used to improve the editor experience.**

You might want to check out the `@nx/js` package which comes with advanced TypeScript support, including [SWC](https://swc.rs/) and more. Find out more in the [plugin documentation](/nx-api/js).
