Nx Console Generate Command |
Learn how to use the Nx Console Generate UI to create projects, libraries, and components with a visual form interface that provides real-time previews. |
The Generate action allows you to choose a generator and then opens a form listing out all the options for that generator. As you make changes to the form, the generator is executed in --dry-run mode in a terminal so you can preview the results of running the generator in real time.

You can even construct the generator options while staying entirely within the Command Palette. Use ⇧⌘P to open the Command Palette, then select nx: generate. After choosing a generator, select any of the listed options to modify the generator command. When you're satisfied with the constructed command, choose the Execute command at the top of the list.
