NX Framework: Rapidly Build Large Scale Angular Apps
An open source toolkit for enterprise Angular applications, providing a CLI, generators, libraries, and plugins to quickly build scalable apps with Angular, NestJS, Express, and more.
What is NX framework?
The NX framework is an open source toolkit designed to help developers build large-scale enterprise Angular applications. At its core, it provides a CLI, generators, libraries and plugins that extend the standard Angular CLI functionality.
Some of the key benefits and features of NX include:
- File system based routing - Applications can be organized around the file system structure rather than modules and components.
- Mono-repo support - NX makes it easier to manage multiple apps and libraries in a single repository.
- Powerful generators - NX includes generators for adding applications, components, services, state management and more with sensible defaults.
- Extensibility - NX exposes hooks and APIs making it simple to extend with custom tools and integrations.
- Built-in integrations - Comes with integrations for Storybook, Jest, Cypress, React, NestJS, Express and more out of the box.
- Performance focused - Includes computation caching and other optimizations for large codebases.
- Enforces conventions and structure - Makes it easier for developers to navigate and understand unfamiliar codebases.
Overall, the NX framework helps developers be more productive when building complex, enterprise Angular applications at scale while also setting guidelines and conventions to support growing teams long-term.
