Introduction to Nx Monorepo Workspace — Code Sharing between Angular Applications

Introduction

There are some challenges in designing the architecture for a system. The applications may have overlapped with each other. For dealing with duplicate files or libraries between applications in large-scale systems, monorepo is helpful for dealing with complex relationships.

Nx monorepo management tool is created by former Googlers and Angular team members, which supports Angular, React, NestJS, and Node.js currently. It’s friendly to JavaScript developers, either frontend or full-stack developers.

There are a few items we are going to walk through in this article.

• Considerations for Using Monorepo
• Create an Nx workspace — Angular + Nest.js
• Share services between applications in Nx
• Share components between applications in Nx
• Share styles between applications in Nx
• Retrieve environment variables from the system
• Tips for the Nx workspace
