Versioning and Publishing Today
Nx has always given you the building blocks
Like with most things, you have the flexibility to chose an existing, fully-fledged solution from the community, or create your own bespoke solution using the powerful primitives that Nx provides.
- Other tools: Lerna, changesets, release-it etc
- Community Nx Plugins
- Custom Executors and Generators
Optionality is great because it allows you to build whatever you want, but it can also be overwhelming.
This is why we have been working on something new within the core of Nx…
👋 nx release
nx release is a new top level command on the Nx CLI which is designed to help you with versioning, changelog generation and publishing of your projects:
| nx release version | Determine and apply version updates to projects and their dependents |
| nx release changelog | Generate CHANGELOG.md files and optional Github releases based on git commits |
| nx release publish | Take the freshly versioned projects and publish them to a remote registry |
Current Status
Early days and we are super excited for what this will become as we continue to build out features and extensibility.
Expect to see capabilities and, in particular, documentation get fleshed out much more over the coming weeks.
We are already using it on the Nx repo itself!
The best way to get to know nx release is to see in action on different kinds of workspaces…
The Future
What comes next for nx release?
Coming Soon
- More ways to resolve the next version:
- conventional-commits (landing imminently)
- changesets-style files on disk (planning stage)
- More configuration options to customize each command
- Support for independent versioning of projects
- Detailed how-to guides, including CI/CD, on https://nx.dev
- And much more! ➕➕➕
