workspace.json
Nx used to have a workspace.json file at the root of the repo that at various points performed these functions:
- Identified the locations of all project in the repo
- Contained the target configuration for all projects
Identifying the locations of projects is now done automatically through project inference. You can even customize how projects are inferred with a project inference plugin.
The target configuration for each project is now stored in individual project.json files or package.json files.
Removing workspace.json
To remove workspace.json in favor of project.json files, run:
❯
nx g @nx/workspace:fix-configuration
See fix-configuration for more options.
After this command, workspace.json should look like this:
1{
2 "version": 2,
3 "projects": {
4 "my-app": "apps/my-app",
5 "some-lib": "libs/some-lib"
6 // ...
7 },
8 "$schema": "./node_modules/nx/schemas/workspace-schema.json"
9}
10If every project is listed as a string, instead of an object with project configuration properties, then it is safe to delete the workspace.json file.
