Express is a mature, minimal, and an open source web framework for making web applications and apis.
To create a new workspace with a pre-created Express app, run the following command:
npx create-nx-workspace --preset=express{% callout type="note" title="Keep Nx Package Versions In Sync" %}
Make sure to install the @nx/express version that matches the version of nx in your repository. If the version numbers get out of sync, you can encounter some difficult to debug errors. You can fix Nx version mismatches with this recipe.
{% /callout %}
In any Nx workspace, you can install @nx/express by running the following command:
{% tabs %} {% tab label="Nx 18+" %}
nx add @nx/expressThis will install the correct version of @nx/express.
{% /tab %} {% tab label="Nx < 18" %}
Install the @nx/express package with your package manager.
npm add -D @nx/express{% /tab %} {% /tabs %}
