Running Custom Commands

This recipe will show how to run any terminal command within the nx build-chain.

Steps

1. Define the terminal command to be run

The command we want to run for each project is:

make hello

With this Makefile in the root of the project:

hello: echo "Hello, world!"
2. Update project.json

For each project for which you want to enable make, add a target in its project.json:

// ... "targets": { "make": { "executor": "nx:run-commands", "options": { "commands": [ { "command": "make hello" } ] } } // ... }

For more information, see the run-commands api doc.

3. Trigger the executor from the terminal

To run the executor for a single project:

nx run my-app:make

To run the executor for all affected projects:

nx affected --target=make

For more information, see the nx affected.
