@enio.ai/nx-install

nx-install is plugin for Nx workspaces to quickly setup a custom install command on your projects. This is especially convenient for running operations on multiple projects dynamically, like running build and test on affected projects, where installing dependencies beforehand is a prerequisite. It is created, maintained, and released as open source under MIT license by a group of passionate individuals in Enio.

Getting Started

Add the plugin to your Nx workspace:

npm install --save-dev @enio.ai/nx-install

Note: nx-install has a policy to update depedencies regularly. When running into issues with conflicting dependencies using npm for example, there are options to resolve those version conflicts. See overrides for npm.

Run the following command at the root directory of your workspace. If nx is not setup globaly, you may want to add it as npm script first (see details below) or prefix with npx when using npm. You can also run this command from the Nx Console extension for VSCode.

  nx g @enio.ai/nx-install

Installing Dependencies with nx-install

The previous command will have installed two new scripts in your root workspace package.json.

{
  "scripts": {
    "nx-install": "nx nx-install",
    "nx-install:affected": "nx affected --target=nx-install --all"
  }
}

Then you could run the following commands, where <project> is the name of the project in the nx workspace you want to run it for.

  // Installing dependencies for target project
  npm run nx-install <project>


  // Installing dependencies for all affected projects
  npm run nx-install:affected
