lint

Runs linting tools on application code in a given project folder using the configured linter.

Usage

The lint command is a built-in alias to the run command.

These two commands are equivalent:

nx lint <project> [options]

nx run <project>:lint [options]

Install the nx package globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npm run nx or yarn nx.

Examples

Run lint checks for the myapp project and fix linter errors:

nx lint myapp --fix
