Creating NestJS Controllers and Modules in a NX Workspace

Question

I am using the NX workspace's angular-nest boilerplate to get started with an App. Whenever I try to use the CLI or the NX extension to generate a controller/module etc, it gets placed in the wrong folder.

For instance, if I generate a new module for nest, I would like it to be placed in api/src as that is where the Nest files are. But in my case if I use the command nest generate module helloworld , it gets placed in the src/helloworld folder outside of the api/src folder.

Is there a simpler way to make it so that my Nest components and modules etc are generated in the Nest folder and Angular components etc are in the Angular folder?

Answer 1

use the "NX console" extension ( which I see you already installed... )

Answer 2

If you don't want to use the nx console in VSCode, you can also run the command nx g @nrwl/nest:controller <controller-name> -p <project-name> . Check out the docs on the @nrwl/nest generators and their options
