How to generate Angular App shell in an integrated Nx monorepo workspace?

Question

I think the question is self-explanatory... Is there a way to generate Angular App shell in an integrated Nx monorepo workspace?

I know that if we call, let's say, nx g @nx/angular:service my-service --project=lib-name, because we're trying to invoke a generator that is not present in @nx/angular, the request will automatically be forwarded to @schematics/angular.

But generating an App shell in Angular is completely different! So I was wondering, is there a solution to this that I'm missing out here?

Thanks a heap.

Well, although it seems that generating an App shell is different, but it's not! When generating an App shell, we don't pass a name option... So we don't also need to pass a name when calling the command via Nx.

So here's what we need to run: nx g @nx/angular:app-shell --project=app-name This command actually fallbacks to @schematics/angular without any issues.

And then build the production files by running: nx run app-name:app-shell:production
