## Current Behavior <!-- This is the behavior we have today --> Custom task runners are a high level abstraction to customize caching, a relatively low level mechanism, to utilize other methods of remote caching. The abstraction of custom task runners makes it hard for Nx to make guarantees to make it faster. ## Expected Behavior <!-- This is the behavior we should expect with the changes in this PR --> Custom task runners are now deprecated. They will still work for Nx 20 but a warning will be shown when they are being used. The migration path is to use Nx Cloud (the ideal caching solution) or a Nx Powerpack cache (written by the Nx Core team which we can make guarantees about). ## Related Issue(s) <!-- Please link the issue being fixed so it gets closed when this is merged. --> Fixes #
@nx/devkit
The Nx Devkit is the underlying technology used to customize Nx to support different technologies and custom use-cases. It contains many utility functions for reading and writing files, updating configuration, working with Abstract Syntax Trees(ASTs), and more.
As with most things in Nx, the core of Nx Devkit is very simple. It only uses language primitives and immutable objects (the tree being the only exception).
