Features

Here is a list of some of the coolest features of the plugin:

• ✅ Generation of Quarkus applications/libraries based on Quarkus app generator API
• ✅ Building, packaging, testing, etc your Quarkus projects
• ✅ 🆕 Built-in support for creating multi-modules Quarkus projects with both Maven and Gradle
• ✅ Built-in support for code formatting using the excellent Spotless plugin for Maven or Gradle
• ✅ Built-in support for corporate proxies (either via --proxyUrl or by defining environment variable http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, https_proxy or HTTPS_PROXY)

• ✅ Integration with Nx's dependency graph (through nx graph or nx affected:graph): this allows you to visualize the dependencies of any Quarkus's Maven/Gradle applications or libraries inside your workspace, just like Nx natively does it for JS/TS-based projects! Example of running the nx graph command on a workspace with 2 Quarkus projects inside

• ...

Setup

You can now use our own create-nx-quarkus CLI to easily create a Nx workspace, that comes with this plugin pre-installed!

Simply run:

# npm
npx create-nx-quarkus@latest
# or
# yarn
yarn create nx-quarkus

and you are good to go‧o‧o‧o! 🚀

More information here: create-nx-quarkus

Otherwise, this is the traditional way of setting things up:

1. Creating the Nx workspace

If you have not already, create an Nx workspace with the following:

# npm
npx create-nx-workspace@latest

# yarn
yarn create nx-workspace

2. Installing the Plugin

Then you need to install the plugin in order to generate Quarkus applications later on.

# npm
npm install @nxrocks/nx-quarkus --save-dev

# yarn
yarn add @nxrocks/nx-quarkus --dev

Generators

This plugin is composed of 2 main generators:

• project generator
• link generator

Generating Project (project generator)

Simply run the project generator with the following command:

nx g @nxrocks/nx-quarkus:project <your-app-name>

you can also use the following aliases to call the generator: proj, new, or create

You will be prompted for entering the most commonly customized generation options (like project's groupId, artifactId, packaging, dependencies, etc).

To skip the interactive prompt, or if you want to customize all non-prompted options, you can pass them along directly when running the command, as such:

nx g @nxrocks/nx-quarkus:project <your-app-name> --optionName1 optionValue1 ... --optionNameN optionValueN

Generation Options

Here the list of available generation options :

Note: If you are working behind a corporate proxy, you can use the proxyUrl option to specify the URL of that corporate proxy server. Otherwise, you'll get a ETIMEDOUT error when trying to access official Quarkus Initializer to generate the project. Even simpler, you can just define environment variable http_proxy, HTTP_PROXY, https_proxy or HTTPS_PROXY globally.

Linking Projects (link generator)

This generator is used to link a Quarkus project inside the workspace (the source project) with another project (the _target project), by adding the source project as an implicit dependency of the later.

Simply run the link generator with the following command:

nx g @nxrocks/nx-quarkus:link

you can also use the following aliases to call the generator: link-project

You will be prompted for entering the most commonly customized generation options (sourceProjectName, targetProjectName).

To skip the interactive prompt, you can pass options along directly when running the command, as such:

nx g @nxrocks/nx-quarkus:link --sourceProjectName <your-quarkus-app> --targetProjectName <your-other-app>

or even simpler:

nx g @nxrocks/nx-quarkus:link  <your-quarkus-app>  <your-other-app>

Generation Options

Here the list of available generation options :

Executors

Once your app is generated, you can now use executors to manage it.

Here the list of available executors:

In order to execute the requested command, each executor will use, by default, the embedded ./mvnw or ./gradlew executable, that was generated alongside the project. If you want to rely on a globally installed mvn or gradle executable instead, add the --ignoreWrapper option to bypass it. This can be useful in a CI environment for example, or in a restricted environment where the binary cannot be downloaded (due to proxy/firewall limitations).

You can pass in additional arguments to the underlying Gradle or Maven, either temporarily (via --args="..."). For example:

nx remote-dev your-quarkus-app --args="-Dquarkus.live-reload.url=http://my-remote-host:8080"

Or, permanently by editing the related executor in the workspace.json file, as such:

{
  "version": 1,
  "projects": {
    "your-quarkus-app": {
      "projectType": "application",
      "root": "apps/your-quarkus-app",
      "sourceRoot": "apps/your-quarkus-app/src",
      "targets": {
        "remote-dev": {
          "executor": "@nxrocks/nx-quarkus:remote-dev",
          "options": {
            "root": "apps/your-quarkus-app",
            "args": ["-Dquarkus.live-reload.url=http://my-remote-host:8080"]// your additional args here
          }
        }
      }
    }},
  "cli": {
    "defaultCollection": "@nx/workspace"
  }
}

Running the project in dev mote - (dev or serve Executors)

nx serve your-quarkus-app

// or

nx dev your-quarkus-app

Install the project's artifacts to local Maven repository (in ~/.m2/repository) - (install Executor)

nx install your-quarkus-app

Running the project in remote dev mode - (remote-dev Executor)

// for a maven-based project
nx remote-dev your-quarkus-app --args="-Dquarkus.live-reload.url=http://my-remote-host:8080"

// for a gradle-based project
nx remote-dev your-quarkus-app --args="-Dquarkus.live-reload.url=http://my-remote-host:8080"

Building the aplication - (build Executor)

nx build your-quarkus-app

Note: a task dependency to install executor of dependent (library) projects is added by the plugin, so that Nx will automatically install dependent artifacts to your local Maven repository, prior to running this command. This is particulaly useful, when for example, you have a Spring Boot application that depends on another Spring boot library in the workspace. No more need to install the library yourself first!

Testing the project - (test Executor)

nx test your-quarkus-app

Cleaning the project - (clean Executor)

nx clean your-quarkus-app

Formatting the project - (format Executor)

nx run your-quarkus-app:format

// or its simpler alias

nx apply-format your-quarkus-app

Note: You *cannot** use the shorter nx format your-boot-app syntax here, because that would conflict with the native format command from Nx CLI.

Packaging the project - (package Executor)

nx package your-quarkus-app

Add Extension the project - (add-extension Executor)

// for a maven-based project
nx add-extension your-quarkus-app --args="-Dextensions=resteasy,hibernate-validator"

// for a gradle-based project
nx add-extension your-quarkus-app --args="--extensions=resteasy,hibernate-validator"

List Extensions in the project - (list-extensions Executor)

nx list-extensions your-quarkus-app

Compatibility with Nx

Every Nx plugin relies on the underlying Nx Workspace/DevKit it runs on. This table provides the compatibility matrix between major versions of Nx workspace and this plugin.
