@nx/plugin:generator

Create a Generator for an Nx Plugin.

Usage

1nx generate generator ... 2

By default, Nx will search for generator in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/plugin:generator ... 2
Nx 15 and lower use @nrwl/ instead of @nx/

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

1nx g generator ... --dry-run 2

Generate libs/my-plugin/src/generators/my-generator:

1nx g generator my-generator --project=my-plugin 2
