application

Create a node application

Usage

nx generate application ...
nx g app ... # same
By default, Nx will search for application in the default collection provisioned in angular.json.
You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:
nx g @nrwl/node:application ...
Show what will be generated without writing to disk:
nx g application ... --dry-run
