The React CLI you always wanted but didn't know about
Blog post from Nx
Nx is a powerful, open-source command-line interface (CLI) tool designed to streamline and enhance the development of React and other JavaScript frameworks by providing a comprehensive set of features, such as code generators, preconfigured state-of-the-art tools, and automated migrations. Widely adopted by the Angular, React, and Node communities, Nx facilitates the creation and management of projects by offering out-of-the-box support for modern tools like TypeScript, Webpack, Jest, Cypress, and Prettier. It emphasizes both speed and developer ergonomics, featuring local computation caching and Nx Cloud for distributed task execution. Nx's extensibility allows developers to customize their workspaces extensively, supporting both monorepo and standalone setups, and its intuitive setup process and Nx Console VSCode extension make it accessible even to those less familiar with command-line operations. Although initially inspired by the Angular CLI, Nx has evolved into an independent build system with first-class support for various technologies, making it an excellent choice for both monorepos and single-project applications, promising an evergreen workspace that adapts to the fast-paced changes in the frontend development landscape.
