Make affected:libs:build command

[wickstargazer]

Expected Behavior

I would like to be able to build affected libs only, not all of them or one by one.

Current Behavior

Can only view affected libs can't build them, have to use run-many as work around and hard to communicate within a large team
Any other relevant information that will help us help you.

I have created a small snippet to able the workspace to run affected:libs:build successfully re-using @nrwl/workspace libraries

One workaround is to define another target build-lib for every lib, and make that target simply invoke build. The you can do:

nx affected --target=build-lib

ok i understand what you mean now @vsavkin after reading it in the day time and not middle of the night :/

thats good, but would be a target under a "lib" project in workspace.json only right?

I was hoping to do the copy assets as well, as some of our angular libs have assets and that can be done with Node libraries only, Or that is bad design?
