In this tutorial you will use Nx to build a full-stack application out of common libraries using modern technologies like Cypress and Nest.
|
|
|
|
## Create a New Workspace
|
|
|
|
**Start by creating a new workspace.**
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx create-nx-workspace@latest
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
You will then receive the following prompts in your command line:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
? Workspace name (e.g., org name) myorg
|
|
? What to create in the new workspace angular
|
|
? Application name todos
|
|
? Default stylesheet format CSS
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
When asked about 'preset', select `angular`, and `todos` for the app name.

```
|
|
|
|
The generate command added two projects to our workspace:
|
|
|
|
- An Angular application
|
|
- E2E tests for the Angular application
|
|
|
|
## Serve the newly created application
|
|
|
|
Now that the application is set up, run it locally via:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npx nx serve todos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Note on the Nx CLI
|
|
|
|
If you would prefer to run using a global installation of Nx, you can run:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
nx serve todos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Depending on how your dev env is set up, the command above might result in `Command 'nx' not found`.
|
|
|
|
To fix it, you can either install the `nx` cli globally by running:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm install -g nx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn global add nx
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Alternatively, you can run the local installation of Nx by prepending every command with `npm run`:
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
npm run nx -- serve todos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
or
|
|
|
|
```bash
|
|
yarn nx serve todos
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
## Note on `nx serve` and `ng serve`
|
|
|
|
Internally, the Nx CLI delegates to the Angular CLI when running commands or generating code. The `nx serve` command produces the same result as `ng serve`, and `nx build` produces the same results as `ng build`. However, the Nx CLI supports advanced capabilities that aren't supported by the Angular CLI. For instance, Nx's computation cache only works when using the Nx CLI. In other words, using `nx` instead `ng` will result in the same output, but often will perform a lot better. [Read more about Nx CLI and Angular CLI.](/angular/getting-started/nx-and-cli)
