library

Create an Angular library

Usage

nx generate library ...
nx g lib ... # same

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/angular:library ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g library ... --dry-run
