Nx Architecture Part-1: Organizing and Structuring a React Project with Nx
Blog post from Qovery
Nx provides a framework for organizing applications and libraries to enhance modularity, scalability, and maintainability in software projects. Applications in Nx serve as orchestrators, connecting various libraries responsible for the reusable components and business logic, allowing for better code organization and reusability. The framework promotes an 80/20 division, with 80% of the logic residing in libraries and 20% in applications, emphasizing the importance of carefully organizing the library directory. Nx also supports defining project boundaries using ESLint rules and tags to manage dependencies and ensure clean separation between different parts of an application. Tags can be customized to define both the type and scope of a library, aiding in the enforcement of boundaries and control over communication within a workspace. Although Nx is not tied to any particular framework and is primarily focused on dependency management, it provides various tools and concepts to help developers create a structured and controlled system, even though its documentation may lack specific guidance for complex use cases, particularly for React.
