@nx/express:application

Nx Application Options Schema.

Usage

1nx generate application ... 2
1nx g app ... #same 2

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/express:application ... 2
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

1nx g application ... --dry-run 2
