@nx/react:hook

Create a React component using Hooks in a dedicated React project.

Usage

1nx generate hook ... 2
1nx g c ... #same 2

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

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

Examples

Generate a hook in the mylib library:

1nx g hook my-hook --project=mylib 2
