Executors Overview

All 7 FrontMCP Nx executors for building, testing, and deploying

Executors wrap FrontMCP CLI commands as Nx targets, enabling caching, dependency ordering, and nx affected support.

Usage in project.json

Executors are configured in each project’s project.json:

{
  "name": "my-app",
  "targets": {
    "build": {
      "executor": "@frontmcp/nx:build",
      "outputs": ["{projectRoot}/dist"],
      "options": {
        "entry": "{projectRoot}/src/main.ts",
        "outputPath": "{projectRoot}/dist"
      }
    },
    "dev": {
      "executor": "@frontmcp/nx:dev",
      "options": {
        "entry": "{projectRoot}/src/main.ts"
      }
    },
    "test": {
      "executor": "@frontmcp/nx:test",
      "options": {
        "runInBand": true
      }
    }
  }
}

Running Executors

# Run a specific target
nx build my-app
nx dev my-app
nx test my-app

# Run across all projects
nx run-many -t build
nx run-many -t test

# Run only affected projects
nx affected -t test
