Adopting Nx to SpringBoot MonoRepo's about nxrocks HOT 1 CLOSED

Hi @AnilReddy231

Sorry for the delay in responding, and thanks for using the plugin.

Indeed, Nx, which is based on NodeJS, requires a package.json to install all the runtimes dependencies it needs.

If you don't want to have a package.json or a node_modules/ alongside with it, you can

1- init your workspace with this command:

npx nx init --useDotNxInstallation

It will create a Nx workspace that come with Nx Wrapper.
Just like Maven Wrapper (mvnw) or Gradle Wrapper (gradlew), that wrapper is responsible of managing Nx installation automatically, so you dont have to worry about it, and you will have a minimal presence of Nx required files in your workspace.

The only file that would be relevant in the workspace is the nx.json: Nx configuration file.

2- add the @nxrocks/nx-spring-boot to the workspace's nx.json:

Edit the "installation.plugins" section, and add "@nxrocks/nx-spring-boot": "<version>"

3- Then, you can simply run ./nx @nxrocks/nx-spring-boot:new <projectName> to add new Spring Boot projects within the workspace.

I have just created a new CLI package called create-nx-spring-boot that will automate all the steps above for you!

It will be released next week.
