@matii96/nx-tsc v1.1.0

Nx-tsc

Typescript executor for Nx workspace.

Why?

Nx only allows to use webpack as ts builder. While it has benefits like slightly reduced bundle size, it makes using build-reliant libraries like MikroORM a pain to use as it prevents distribution directory exploration.

How?

Nx-tsc eliminates this problem by introducing a full-fledged tsc build keeping hot-reload (serve) option.

Installation

$ npm i --save-dev @matii96/nx-tsc

Example

App's project.json:

{
  "root": "apps/my-app",
  "sourceRoot": "apps/my-app/src",
  "projectType": "application",
  "targets": {
    "build": {
      "executor": "@matii96/nx-tsc:build",
      "options": {
        "main": "apps/my-app/src/main.js",
        "tsConfig": "apps/my-app/tsconfig.app.json",
        "assets": ["apps/my-app/src/assets"]
      },
      "configurations": {
        "production": {
          "optimization": true,
          "extractLicenses": true,
          "inspect": false,
          "fileReplacements": [
            {
              "replace": "apps/my-app/src/environments/environment.ts",
              "with": "apps/my-app/src/environments/environment.prod.ts"
            }
          ]
        }
      }
    },
    "..."
  },
  "tags": []
}

App's tsconfig.app.json:

{
  "extends": "./tsconfig.json",
  "compilerOptions": {
    "outDir": "../../dist/out-tsc/my-app",
    "..."
  },
  "..."
}

Nothing changes in serve and build commands:

$ nx serve my-app
$ nx build my-app
