Properties

affected

• Optional affected: NxAffectedConfig

Default options for nx affected

Deprecated

use defaultBase instead. For more information see https://nx.dev/deprecated/affected-config#affected-config

cacheDirectory

• Optional cacheDirectory: string

Changes the directory used by Nx to store its cache.

cli

• Optional cli: Object

Default generator collection. It is used when no collection is provided.

Type declaration

communityCache

• Optional communityCache: string

community support for custom cache

defaultBase

• Optional defaultBase: string

Default value for --base used by nx affected and nx format.

defaultProject

• Optional defaultProject: string

Default project. When project isn't provided, the default project will be used. Convenient for small workspaces with one main application.

enableDbCache

• Optional enableDbCache: boolean

Enable the new experimental db based cache

extends

• Optional extends: string

Optional (additional) Nx.json configuration file which becomes a base for this one

generators

• Optional generators: Object

List of default values used by generators.

These defaults are global. They are used when no other defaults are configured.

Example:

Index signature

▪ [collectionName: string]: { [generatorName: string]: any; }

implicitDependencies

• Optional implicitDependencies: ImplicitDependencyEntry<T>

Map of files to projects that implicitly depend on them

Deprecated

use namedInputs instead. For more information see https://nx.dev/deprecated/global-implicit-dependencies#global-implicit-dependencies

installation

• Optional installation: NxInstallationConfiguration

Configures the Nx installation for a repo. Useful for maintaining a separate set of dependencies for Nx + Plugins compared to the base package.json, but also useful for workspaces that don't have a root package.json + node_modules.

namedInputs

• Optional namedInputs: Object

Named inputs targets can refer to reduce duplication

Index signature

▪ [inputName: string]: (string | InputDefinition)[]

neverConnectToCloud

• Optional neverConnectToCloud: boolean

Set this to false to disable connection to Nx Cloud

nxCloudAccessToken

• Optional nxCloudAccessToken: string

If specified Nx will use nx-cloud by default with the given token. To use a different runner that accepts an access token, define it in tasksRunnerOptions

nxCloudEncryptionKey

• Optional nxCloudEncryptionKey: string

Specifies the encryption key used to encrypt artifacts data before sending it to nx cloud.

nxCloudId

• Optional nxCloudId: string

If specified Nx will use nx-cloud by default with the given cloud id. To use a different runner that accepts a cloud id, define it in tasksRunnerOptions

nxCloudUrl

• Optional nxCloudUrl: string

Specifies the url pointing to an instance of nx cloud. Used for remote caching and displaying run links.

parallel

• Optional parallel: number

Specifies how many tasks can be run in parallel.

plugins

• Optional plugins: PluginConfiguration[]

Plugins for extending the project graph

pluginsConfig

• Optional pluginsConfig: Record<string, Record<string, unknown>>

sync

• Optional sync: NxSyncConfiguration

Configuration for the nx sync command.

targetDefaults

• Optional targetDefaults: TargetDefaults

Dependencies between different target names across all projects

tasksRunnerOptions

• Optional tasksRunnerOptions: Object

Available Task Runners

Index signature

▪ [tasksRunnerName: string]: { options?: any ; runner?: string }

useDaemonProcess

• Optional useDaemonProcess: boolean

Set this to false to disable the daemon.

• Optional useInferencePlugins: boolean

Set this to false to disable adding inference plugins when generating new projects

workspaceLayout

• Optional workspaceLayout: Object
