graph

Graph dependencies within workspace

Usage

nx graph

Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.

Examples

Open the project graph of the workspace in the browser:

nx graph

Save the project graph into a json file:

nx graph --file=output.json

Generate a static website with project graph into an html file, accompanied by an asset folder called static:

nx graph --file=output.html

Print the project graph as JSON to the console:

nx graph --print

Show the graph where every node is either an ancestor or a descendant of todos-feature-main:

nx graph --focus=todos-feature-main

Include project-one and project-two in the project graph:

nx graph --include=project-one,project-two

Exclude project-one and project-two from the project graph:

nx graph --exclude=project-one,project-two

Show the graph where every node is either an ancestor or a descendant of todos-feature-main, but exclude project-one and project-two:

nx graph --focus=todos-feature-main --exclude=project-one,project-two

Watch for changes to project graph and update in-browser:

nx graph --watch
