First-class support for your favorite stack
Nx is a smart and extensible build framework to help you architect, test, and build at any scale — integrating seamlessly with modern technologies and libraries while providing a robust CLI, caching, dependency management, and more.
It has first-class support for many frontend and backend technologies, so its documentation comes in multiple flavours.
Best-in-Class Support for Monorepos
Nx provides distributed graph-based task execution and computation caching.
Nx is smart. It analyzes your workspace and figures out what can be affected by every code change. That's why Nx doesn't rebuild and retest everything on every commit - it only rebuilds what is necessary.
Nx partitions commands into a graph of smaller tasks. Nx then runs those tasks in parallel, and it can even distribute them across many machines without any configuration.
Nx also uses a distributed computation cache. If someone has already built or tested similar code, Nx will use their results to speed up the command for everyone else.
Integrated Development Experience
Nx provides a modern dev experience that is more integrated. Nx adds a high-quality VS Code plugin which helps you use the build tool effectively, generate components in folders, and much more.
Nx also has optional free cloud support as well as GitHub integration. Share links with your teammates where everyone working on a project can examine detailed build logs and get insights about how to improve your project and build.
Rich Plugin Ecosystem
Nx is an open platform with plugins for many modern tools and frameworks.It has support for TypeScript, React, React Native, Angular, NativeScript, Cypress, Jest, Prettier, Nest.js, AngularCLI, Storybook, Ionic, Go, Rust among others. With Nx, you get a consistent dev experience regardless of the tools used.
For instance:
- Use Next.js, Gatsby, React Native and share code between them.
- Nx is Modern Angular
- Smarter and Faster Angular Development with Nx
