addDependenciesToPackageJson

▸ addDependenciesToPackageJson(host, dependencies, devDependencies, packageJsonPath?): GeneratorCallback

Add Dependencies and Dev Dependencies to package.json

For example:

1addDependenciesToPackageJson(host, { react: 'latest' }, { jest: 'latest' });

This will add react and jest to the dependencies and devDependencies sections of package.json respectively.

Parameters

The project configuration is stored in workspace.json and nx.json. The utility will update both files.

Parameters

Returns

void

applyChangesToString

▸ applyChangesToString(text, changes): string

Applies a list of changes to a string's original value.

This is useful when working with ASTs.

For Example, to rename a property in a method's options:

1const code = `bootstrap({
2  target: document.querySelector('#app')
3})`;
4
5const indexOfPropertyName = 13; // Usually determined by analyzing an AST.
6const updatedCode = applyChangesToString(code, [
7  {

9    index: indexOfPropertyName,
10    text: 'element',
11  },
12  {
13    type: ChangeType.Delete,
14    start: indexOfPropertyName,
15    length: 6,
16  },
17]);
18
19bootstrap({
20  element: document.querySelector('#app'),
21});

Parameters

Returns

string

convertNxExecutor

▸ convertNxExecutor(executor): any

Convert an Nx Executor into an Angular Devkit Builder

Use this to expose a compatible Angular Builder

Parameters

Returns

any

convertNxGenerator

▸ convertNxGenerator<T>(generator): (options: T) => (tree: any, context: any) => Promise<any>

Convert an Nx Generator into an Angular Devkit Schematic

Type parameters

Parameters

Returns

fn

▸ (options): (tree: any, context: any) => Promise<any>

Parameters

Returns

fn

▸ (tree, context): Promise<any>

Parameters

Returns

Promise<any>

detectPackageManager

▸ detectPackageManager(dir?): PackageManager

Detects which package manager is used in the workspace based on the lock file.

Parameters

Returns

PackageManager

formatFiles

▸ formatFiles(host): Promise<void>

Formats all the created or updated files using Prettier

Parameters

Returns

Promise<void>

generateFiles

▸ generateFiles(host, srcFolder, target, substitutions): void

Generates a folder of files based on provided templates.

While doing so it performs two substitutions:

• Substitutes segments of file names surrounded by __
• Uses ejs to substitute values in templates

Examples:

1generateFiles(host, path.join(__dirname, 'files'), './tools/scripts', {
2  tmpl: '',
3  name: 'myscript',
4});

This command will take all the files from the files directory next to the place where the command is invoked from. It will replace all __tmpl__ with '' and all __name__ with 'myscript' in the file names, and will replace all <%= name %> with myscript in the files themselves. tmpl: '' is a common pattern. With it you can name files like this: index.ts__tmpl__, so your editor doesn't get confused about incorrect TypeScript files.

Parameters

Returns

void

getPackageManagerCommand

▸ getPackageManagerCommand(packageManager?): PackageManagerCommands

Returns commands for the package manager used in the workspace. By default, the package manager is derived based on the lock file, but it can also be passed in explicitly.

Example:

1execSync(`${getPackageManagerCommand().addDev} my-dev-package`);

Parameters

Returns

PackageManagerCommands

getPackageManagerVersion

▸ getPackageManagerVersion(packageManager?): string

Returns the version of the package manager used in the workspace. By default, the package manager is derived based on the lock file, but it can also be passed in explicitly.

Parameters

Returns

string

getProjects

▸ getProjects(host): Map<string, ProjectConfiguration & NxJsonProjectConfiguration>

Get a map of all projects in a workspace.

Use readProjectConfiguration if only one project is needed.

Parameters

Returns

Map<string, ProjectConfiguration & NxJsonProjectConfiguration>

getWorkspaceLayout

▸ getWorkspaceLayout(host): Object

Returns workspace defaults. It includes defaults folders for apps and libs, and the default scope.

Example:

1{ appsDir: 'apps', libsDir: 'libs', npmScope: 'myorg' }

Parameters

Type parameters

Parameters

Returns

T

Object the JSON content represents

parseTargetString

▸ parseTargetString(targetString): Target

Parses a target string into {project, target, configuration}

Examples:

1parseTargetString('proj:test'); // returns { project: "proj", target: "test" }
2parseTargetString('proj:test:production'); // returns { project: "proj", target: "test", configuration: "production" }

Reads a project configuration.

The project configuration is stored in workspace.json and nx.json. The utility will read both files.

throws If supplied projectName cannot be found

Parameters

Returns

ProjectConfiguration & NxJsonProjectConfiguration

readTargetOptions

▸ readTargetOptions<T>(__namedParameters, context): T

Reads and combines options for a given target.

Works as if you invoked the target yourself without passing any command lint overrides.

Type parameters

Parameters

Returns

T

readWorkspaceConfiguration

▸ readWorkspaceConfiguration(host): WorkspaceConfiguration

Read general workspace configuration such as the default project or cli settings

This does not provide projects configuration, use readProjectConfiguration instead.

Parameters

Returns

WorkspaceConfiguration

removeDependenciesFromPackageJson

▸ removeDependenciesFromPackageJson(host, dependencies, devDependencies, packageJsonPath?): GeneratorCallback

Remove Dependencies and Dev Dependencies from package.json

For example:

1removeDependenciesFromPackageJson(host, ['react'], ['jest']);

This will remove react and jest from the dependencies and devDependencies sections of package.json respectively.

Parameters

Returns

GeneratorCallback

Callback to uninstall dependencies only if necessary. undefined is returned if changes are not necessary.

removeProjectConfiguration

▸ removeProjectConfiguration(host, projectName): void

Removes the configuration of an existing project.

The project configuration is stored in workspace.json and nx.json. The utility will update both files.

Parameters

Returns

void

runExecutor

▸ runExecutor<T>(targetDescription, options, context): Promise<AsyncIterableIterator<T>>

Loads and invokes executor.

This is analogous to invoking executor from the terminal, with the exception that the params aren't parsed from the string, but instead provided parsed already.

Apart from that, it works the same way:

• it will load the workspace configuration
• it will resolve the target
• it will load the executor and the schema
• it will load the options for the appropriate configuration
• it will run the validations and will set the default
• and, of course, it will invoke the executor

Example:

1for await (const s of await runExecutor(
2  { project: 'myproj', target: 'serve' },
3  { watch: true },
4  context
5)) {
6  // s.success
7}

Note that the return value is a promise of an iterator, so you need to await before iterating over it.

Type parameters

Parameters

Returns

Promise<AsyncIterableIterator<T>>

serializeJson

▸ serializeJson<T>(input, options?): string

Serializes the given data to a JSON string. By default the JSON string is formatted with a 2 space intendation to be easy readable.

Type parameters

Parameters

Returns

string

the formatted JSON representation of the object

2 Options:
3 - option1
4 - option2
5`;

Parameters
