watch

Watch for changes within projects, and execute commands

Usage

❯

nx watch

Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.

Watch the "app" project and echo the project name and the files that changed:

❯

nx watch --projects=app -- echo \$NX_PROJECT_NAME \$NX_FILE_CHANGES

Watch "app1" and "app2" and echo the project name whenever a specified project or its dependencies change:

❯

nx watch --projects=app1,app2 --includeDependentProjects -- echo \$NX_PROJECT_NAME

Watch all projects (including newly created projects) in the workspace:

❯

nx watch --all -- echo \$NX_PROJECT_NAME
