Nx Angular App test

It took me hours to reach my initial goal, create an app that has routing, unit test with karma and e2e tests with cypress.

##Workspace setup

  • First step is to create an empty workspace.
npx create-nx-workspace@latest
Workspace name (e.g., org name)     camixdev
What to create in the new workspace empty
CLI to power the Nx workspace Nx
Use Nx Cloud? No
  • Second step: inside camixdev run:
npm add -D @nrwl/angular
  • Third step: same pwd, run:
nx generate @nrwl/angular:application --name=pokemon 
--unitTestRunner=karma --e2eTestRunner=cypress --routing=true --style=scss

##Now hands on!

Useful things:

# Generate UI lib
ng g @nrwl/angular:lib ui

# Add a component
ng g @nrwl/angular:component xyz --project ui

# View dependency graph
nx dep-graph

# see what's been affected by changes
ng affected:dep-graph

# run tests for current changes
ng affected:test

# run e2e tests for current changes
ng affected:e2e
