@nrwl/react:application

Create a React application for Nx.

Usage

nx generate application ...
nx g app ... #same

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/react:application ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g application ... --dry-run

Examples

Generate apps/myorg/myapp and apps/myorg/myapp-e2e:

nx g app myapp --directory=myorg

Use class components instead of functional components:

nx g app myapp --classComponent

Set up React Router:

nx g app myapp --routing
