Enterprise Angular Monorepo Patterns
On the surface, both large and small organizations care about the same things: consistency, writing robust and maintainable code, and making changes with confidence.
What’s different about large organizations is that they have hundreds of Angular engineers building dozens of apps. There is a lot of code, and this changes everything.
While ten (10) developers can reach a consensus on best practices by chatting over lunch, five hundred (500) developers cannot. You have to establish best practices, team standards, and use tools to promote them.
With three (3) projects developers know what needs retesting after making a change; however, with thirty (30) projects this is no longer a simple process. Informal team rules to manage change no longer work with large teams and multi-team, multi-project efforts. You have to rely on automated CI process instead.
We at Nrwl we use our experience working at Google to help companies build frontend applications the way Google does it.
That is why we built Nx.
Nx is an extension for the Angular CLI. With it, you can implement Google-style development in your organization: you can set up monorepo development, enable code-sharing and collaboration, and use the provided tools to establish and promote best practices.
This is a very practical book. Even though we cover the general benefits of Google-style development, we focus on concrete problems and how to effectively use Nx to solve them.
NOTE: If you're using a discount code link, you must enter a price of $0 then click "I want this." If you have a discount code, but not a discount code link, you'll have to enter $10, then click "I want this," then apply the discount code in the modal to get the savings.
