Nx Workspace Patterns

Production patterns for Nx monorepo management.

When to Use This Skill

  • Setting up new Nx workspaces
  • Configuring project boundaries
  • Optimizing CI with affected commands
  • Implementing remote caching
  • Managing dependencies between projects
  • Migrating to Nx

Best Practices

Do's

  • Use tags consistently - Enforce with module boundaries
  • Enable caching early - Significant CI savings
  • Keep libs focused - Single responsibility
  • Use generators - Ensure consistency
  • Document boundaries - Help new developers

Don'ts

  • Don't create circular deps - Graph should be acyclic
  • Don't skip affected - Test only what changed
  • Don't ignore boundaries - Tech debt accumulates
  • Don't over-granularize - Balance lib count
