title: '@nrwl/nest:application generator'
description: 'Create a NestJS application.'

# @nrwl/nest:application
Create a NestJS 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/nest:application ...
```
Show what will be generated without writing to disk:
```bash
nx g application ... --dry-run
```

### name (_**required**_)
Type: `string`
The name of the application.
### directory
Type: `string`
The directory of the new application.

Type: `string`
Frontend project that needs to access this application. This sets up proxy configuration.
### linter
Default: `eslint`
Type: `string`
Possible values: `eslint`, `none`
The tool to use for running lint checks.
### setParserOptionsProject
