How to Use Nestia SDK within an Nx Monorepo?

[JeyP90]

Hello,

I am trying to integrate Nestia SDK into an Nx monorepo setup, but I am encountering difficulties in configuring it properly.

Specifically, I created a nestia.config.ts file with the following content:

import { INestiaConfig } from '@nestia/sdk';
import { NestFactory } from '@nestjs/core';
import { AppModule } from './apps/backend/src/app/app.module';

const NESTIA_CONFIG: INestiaConfig = {
    input: async () => {
        const app = await NestFactory.create(AppModule);
        return app;
    },
    output: 'libs/ap-sdk/src/,
};

export default NESTIA_CONFIG;

However, when I try to run the command:

npx nestia sdk

I encounter the following issues:

• ES-Module Issue: I get the error Must use import to load ES Module, because Nestia tries to load the nestia.config.ts file as a CommonJS? module, but it's written as an ES module due to the import syntax.
• Unexpected 'export' token: When I try to dynamically import the file using ES module syntax, I get the error: SyntaxError: Unexpected token 'export'.
• I have also tried adding/removing "type": "module" from the package.json, but then I run into additional issues with handling import/export syntax in the configuration file.

Could you provide guidance on how to correctly set up and use Nestia SDK in an Nx-based monorepo? Any help or examples would be greatly appreciated!

Here is an example repository with a similar setup what im using: https://github.com/JeyP90/nx-nestia-angular-test

Thanks in advance!

Hey @samchon, any idea on how to fix this issue?

I don't know NX, and its monorepo either.

Same issue here. Any news about it ?

Honestly i couldn't find any way to use it with nx in a correct way. Ended up switching to nestjs-zod as i used zod for some other validation anyways and the output is about the same.

@samchon, Nx is the most popular js monorepo system, and basically the de-facto standard for Nest + Angular monorepos now. Supporting this would really boost Nestia's and Typia's adoption. Part of the challenge seems to be that that Nest is webpack-based and Angular is Vite/ESbuild-based. Might need to integrate some of the unplugin stuff here like is needed for typia itself?

Not to get too off-topic, but if Nestia could also generate Angular HttpClient services rather than only a promise-based api, you'd also eliminate the need for ng-openapi-gen or openapi-generator-cli in Nest/Angular Nx monorepos.

Upgrade to v7.2, then be solved.
