Nx Workshop - Building a Board Game Store

In this workshop we'll be building a store for a fictional board game company called "The Board Game Hoard".

We're going to be using Nx and some its plugins to accelerate the development of this app.

Some of the things you'll learn:

  • Generating a pristine Nx workspace
  • Generating frontend Angular apps and backend APIs inside your workspace, with pre-configured proxies
  • Creating shared libs for re-using code
  • Generating new routed components with all the lazily loaded routes pre-configured by Nx and ready to go
  • How to organize code in a monorepo
  • Easily move libs around your folder structure
  • Creating Storybook stories and e2e Cypress tests for your components

To help you understand how to apply some of these lessons in your own projects, we'll try to build a more "real-world" example. However, because of the time constrains and to make sure we get to cover as much material as possible, we'll provide you with all the code for any "non-Nx" work you need to do (like styling and configuring Angular routes) - so you can focus on learning to use Nx to its full potential.

This is what we'll build:

Pre-requisites

Nx has support for a lot of platforms, but in this workshop we'll be using mainly Angular. While all the code for any Angular specific work will be provided, it will help if you have some experience with the Angular ecosystem.

Make sure you have the following installed:

How the labs work

Each lab will have the following sections:

  • 📚 "Learning outcomes"
    • A summary of the most important things you'll learn in that lab
  • 📲 "After this workshop, your app should look similar to this"
    • This will contain a screenshot of any changes to the app visuals after the lab
    • Any changes to the source directory structure
  • 🏋️‍♀️ "Steps"
    • All the lab steps you need to follow
Hints and solutions feat. Ron the whale 🐳

While the mighty narwhal is away on secret missions, you will occasionally see his assistant, Ron The Whale 🐳 offering helpful hints to the different exercises. Please use these if you get stuck.

If you get stuck running any Nx command, there is a SOLUTION.md file in each lab's folder.

As mentioned, for anything Angular/styling or HTML template work we will provide the code you need as direct links to the files. Please use these as much as possible.

Finally, if you fall behind or join late, Git branches are provided for each lab, which will fast forward you to that lab - git checkout lab-x (where x is the number of the lab you want to start).

If you want to skip ahead to the end: git checkout final-solution

Each lab will contain a link to the next one. Start from "Lab 1" and move through them as required:
