Hey everybody, my name is Adam Ellibert, aka Big AB, and I am a core contributor on a project called NX. Today, I'm going to go through a whirlwind tour of a really cool way to do web development using NX. NX is a suite of dev tools to improve developer experience, and it's extensible, plugin-based, and open-source. I'll show you some of the commands that NX provides, such as creating an NX workspace, generating schematics, serving as a dev server, building applications, and running tests. NX also has a variety of plugins, including the Next.js plugin. And if you're not comfortable with command-line interfaces, there's a GUI available for you. I'm going to create an NX workspace and choose Next.js as my first application. Then I'll create another app called Uber for Star and add a dashboard page. I'll also create a shared components library and configure storybook for it. Finally, I'll use NxServe to serve my Uber 4 app. This setup includes a splash page, a dashboard page, and a design system using storybook. We've got shared components for our marketing website and Uber 4 app. We also have end-to-end directories for Cypress tests and jest for unit tests. Our Uber 4 app is similar to any other Next.js app with pages and a nested dashboard page. We import shared components by prefixing them with the org name and library name. NX handles dependencies, ensuring everyone is on the same version and allows scoping imports to the org. Computation caching optimizes test and build runs by caching results that are unaffected by code changes. NX brings easy application creation with consistent commands and shared library extraction. Generators save time and enforce best practices. NX provides modern tools like Cypress, Storybook, Prettier, ESLint, and Next.js. The Next.js plugin creates and configures Next.js applications, serving them in dev mode and building production-ready and static apps. Visit nx.dev for more information.
