Hey guys when I use nx…
Hey guys, when I use nx run-many can I target projects by tag? e.g. nx run-many --target=lint --tags=type:ui and nx would lint all libs with tag type:ui ?
Responses:
As far as I’ve seen in the source code no. I’ve written a small script that wraps the nx run many command and reads the nx.json and get the projects out of the labes then passing the projects to the nx run many
/** Filter incoming projects based on the tag defined in the options. */
function filterTaggedProjects(
nxJson: NxJson,
buildTag: string,
selfProject: string,
): string[] {
return (
Object.entries(nxJson.projects)
// filter out the starter project (self)
.filter(([project]) => project !== selfProject)
// filter in all projects that include the selected tag
.filter(([_project, { tags }]) => tags?.includes(buildTag))
.map(([project]) => project)
);
}
you cann pass the projects as comma seperated list to the run many with --projects
if you add the script to the npm package you can leverage it via yarn run-many --tag=my-tag and it is running under the hood the nx one
Ok cool, it still feels like it should be an nx internal feature though
you are completely right :smile:
a query language like bazel provides it would be nice to query projects depending on different constraints
something like that:
