Running Custom Commands

This recipe will show how to run any terminal command within the nx build-chain.

Steps

1. Define the terminal command to be run
The command we want to run for each project is:
make hello
With this Makefile in the root of the project:
hello:
  echo "Hello, world!"
2. Update workspace.json
For each project for which you want to enable make, add a target in workspace.json:
1// ...
2"my-app": {
3    "targets": {
4        "make": {
5            "executor": "@nrwl/workspace:run-commands",
6                "options": {
7                "commands": [
8                    {
9                        "command": "make hello"
10                    }
11                ]
12            }
13        }
14        // ...
15    }
16}
For more information, see the run-commands api doc.
3. Trigger the executor from the terminal
To run the executor for a single project:
nx run my-app:make
To run the executor for all affected projects:
nx affected --target=make
For more information, see the nx affected.
