Angular Plugin

The Nx Plugin for Angular contains executors, generators, and utilities for managing Angular applications, and libraries within an Nx workspace. It provides:

Integration with libraries such as Jest, Cypress, Karma, Protractor, and Storybook.
Helper services, and functions to use along with NgRx libraries.
Scaffolding for upgrading AngularJS applications.
Scaffolding for creating buildable libraries that can be published to npm.
Utilities for automatic workspace refactoring.

Adding the Angular plugin

Adding the Angular plugin to a workspace can be done with the following:

#yarn
yarn add -D @nrwl/angular

#npm
npm install -D @nrwl/angular

Angular Projects in an Nx Workspace

Building Angular applications within an Nx workspace is similar to building within a vanilla Angular CLI workspace, with a few differences.

Jest is used as the default unit test runner, configurable in the generators section of the workspace configuration file.
Cypress is used as the default E2E test runner, configurable in the generators section of the workspace configuration.
E2E tests are included in a separate project from the Angular application itself.
The Nx CLI delegates common commands such as build, serve, test, lint, and e2e to the Angular CLI.

The file structure for an Angular application looks like:

│   ├── myapp/
