@nx/angular:library

Creates an Angular library.

Examples

Creates the my-ui-lib library with an ui tag:

1nx g @nx/angular:library libs/my-ui-lib --tags=ui 2

Usage

1nx generate library ... 2
1nx g lib ... #same 2

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/angular:library ... 2

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

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