@nrwl/node:application

Create a node application

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/node:application ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g application ... --dry-run
