affected
Run target for affected projects
Usage
❯
nx affected
Install nx globally to invoke the command directly using nx, or use npx nx, yarn nx, or pnpm nx.
Examples
Run custom target for all affected projects:
❯
nx affected -t custom-target
Run tests in parallel:
❯
nx affected -t test --parallel=5
Run lint, test, and build targets for affected projects. Requires Nx v15.4+:
❯
nx affected -t lint test build
Run tests for all the projects affected by changing the index.ts file:
❯
nx affected -t test --files=libs/mylib/src/index.ts
Run tests for all the projects affected by the changes between main and HEAD (e.g., PR):
❯
nx affected -t test --base=main --head=HEAD
Run tests for all the projects affected by the last commit on main:
❯
nx affected -t test --base=main~1 --head=main
Run build for only projects with the tag dotnet:
❯
nx affected -t=build --exclude='*,!tag:dotnet'
Use the currently executing project name in your command:
❯
nx affected -t build --tag=$NX_TASK_TARGET_PROJECT:latest
Preview the task graph that Nx would run inside a webview:
❯
nx affected -t=build --graph
Save the task graph to a file:
❯
nx affected -t=build --graph=output.json
Print the task graph to the console:
❯
nx affected -t=build --graph=stdout
Options
all
Type: boolean

exclude
Type: string
Exclude certain projects from being processed
excludeTaskDependencies
Type: boolean
Default: false
Skips running dependent tasks first
files
Type: string
Change the way Nx is calculating the affected command by providing directly changed files, list of files delimited by commas or spaces
graph
Type: string

Defines how Nx emits outputs tasks logs
| option | description |
|---|---|

| static | uses static output life cycle, no previous content is rewritten or modified as new outputs are added. This output format is recommened for CI environments. |
| stream | nx by default logs output to an internal output stream, enable this option to stream logs to stdout / stderr |
| stream-without-prefixes | nx prefixes the project name the target is running on, use this option remove the project name prefix from output |
