CLI arguments of create-nx-workspace

Question

Is there some documentation regarding the arguments that create-nx-workspace takes? I'd like to build a copy and paste -able oneliner to set up a new workspace without any interactive questions asked. So far I have

npx create-nx-workspace@latest myworkspace --name myworkspace --preset web-components --appName myapp --cli angular

Next it's asking me which default stylesheet format I want to use. And I can't figure out how to specify that as a command line parameter.

Answer 1

Currently there is not option to define style within create-nx-workspace command. As you can see there is only prompt to inquire style after determination of appName promise:

determineWorkspaceName(parsedArgs).then(name => {
    determinePreset(parsedArgs).then(preset => {
        return determineAppName(preset, parsedArgs).then(appName => {
            return determineStyle(preset).then(style => {
                return determineCli(preset, parsedArgs).then(cli => {
                    const tmpDir = createSandbox(packageManager, cli);
                    createApp(tmpDir, cli, parsedArgs, name, preset, appName, style);
                    showCliWarning(preset, parsedArgs);
                    showNxWarning(name);
                    pointToTutorial(preset);
                });
            });
        });
    });
});

Code of the determineStyle is here .

I have already prepared PR to add this feature into create-nx-workspace command here .

You may select the tools used for styling the application

npx create-nx-workspace@latest myworkspace ... --style=css

You may use on of the following options

• css , scss , less for Angular projects
• styl for all non-Angular, and
• styled-components , @emotion/styled , styled-jsx for React, Next.js and Gatsby.
