Hi everyone first day …

Hi everyone - first day of using Nx - lovin it so far! One thing that has me puzzled though is that I wanted to start with an empty workspace and add my Angular and NestJS projects in separately so I could specify their names differently to the default names. Which was all good and I got it to work ok, but I needed to do “nx add @nrwl/angular” before I could call nx generate… - which was all fine and I got it to work. My actual question is that I can’t find any documentation for the “add” command. I mainly wanted to point out that coming in with a fresh perspective and a clean environment the Docs weren’t very clear on how you need to call add before generate.

Responses:

You can find for any plugin schematics which are creating files for you. At this case you want to generate a new project. So you need to search for all available generate commands related to your plugin

If you use vsc there is a nx extension which helps you with this a lot

Thanks - it was more of a comment than a problem. Been a long time Intellij user, so will struggle on with the command line for now. But yes, I have seen the VSC plugin too.
