@nrwl/nx-plugin:plugin

Create a Plugin for Nx.

Usage

nx generate plugin ...

By default, Nx will search for plugin in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/nx-plugin:plugin ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g plugin ... --dry-run

Examples

Generate libs/plugins/my-plugin:

nx g plugin my-plugin --directory=plugins --importPath=@myorg/my-plugin

Options

minimal

boolean
Default: false

Generate the plugin with a minimal setup. This would involve not generating a default executor and generator.

skipLintChecks

boolean
Default: false

Do not eslint configuration for plugin json files.

Nx only supports standaloneConfig
