# How the Project Graph is Built
|
|
|
|
Nx creates a graph of all the dependencies between projects in your workspace using two sources of information:
|
|
|
|
1. Typescript `import` statements referencing a particular project's path alias
|
|
|
|
For instance, if a file in `my-app` has this code:
|
|
|
|
```typescript
|
|
import { something } from '@myorg/awesome-library';
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Then `my-app` depends on `awesome-library`
|
|
|
|
2. Manually created `implicitDependencies` in the project configuration file.
|
|
|
|
If your project configuration has this content:
|
|
|
|
{% tabs %}
|
|
{% tab label="package.json" %}
|
|
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
{
|
|
"name": "myapp",
|
|
"nx": {
|
|
"implicitDependencies": ["some-api"]
|
|
}
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% /tab %}
|
|
{% tab label="project.json" %}
|
|
|
|
```jsonc
|
|
{
|
|
"root": "/libs/myapp",
|
|
"implicitDependencies": ["some-api"]
|
|
}
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
{% /tab %}
|
|
{% /tabs %}
|
|
|
|
Then `my-app` depends on `some-api`
