Core Concepts

Learn about all the different concepts Nx uses to manage your tasks and enhance your productivity.

Mental Model

Understand how Nx works with project graphs, task graphs, affected commands, and caching to efficiently manage your monorepo development workflow.

How Caching Works

Learn how Nx's computation hashing enables powerful caching, including what factors determine cache validity and how local and remote caches work together.

What is a Task Pipeline

Learn how Nx manages task dependencies and execution order in monorepo workspaces, ensuring proper build sequences for interconnected projects.

What Are Nx Plugins

Learn how Nx plugins help developers integrate tools and frameworks with Nx by providing automated configuration, code generation, and dependency management.

Inferred Tasks

Learn how Nx plugins automatically infer tasks from tool configurations, enabling caching, task dependencies, and optimized execution without manual setup.

Types of Configuration

Learn how Nx helps manage different types of configuration files in your workspace, including both Nx-specific and tool-specific configurations at global and project levels.

Executors and Configurations

Learn about Nx executors, pre-packaged node scripts that run tasks consistently across projects, and how to configure them in project.json files.

Common Tasks

Learn about standard task naming conventions in Nx projects, including build, serve, test, and lint tasks, for consistent project configuration.

Nx Daemon

Learn about the Nx Daemon, a background process that speeds up project graph computation in large workspaces by maintaining state between commands.

Sync Generators

Learn how to use Nx sync generators to maintain repository state and update configuration files based on the project graph before tasks are run.

TypeScript Project Linking

Learn how to efficiently reference code between TypeScript projects in your monorepo using project linking instead of relative paths.

Buildable and Publishable Libraries

Learn about buildable and publishable libraries in Nx, when to use them, and how they adjust your project configuration for distribution.

Organizational Decisions

Topics that need to be considered when structuring your repository
