Nestjs combined with Nx-electron #204

Open IbnAdamnet opened 1 year ago

IbnAdamnet commented 1 year ago

Really, the nx-electron is a live saver! I am just trying out it now though, and so happen to look towards how to combine it with module based nodejs frameworks like nestjs.

The nestjs documentation has this line: npm i --save @nestjs/core @nestjs/common rxjs reflect-metadata for manual way installation, however I am kind of lost!!!

Looking forward to your guide, thank you.

An official plugin that works together with NX already exists: Take a look here!

Thanks for the quick response. However, that would a configured independent Nestjs app, while I want some to simply integrate it with Nx-electron as one app.

I think I have gotten an idea, don't know if that's the right approach though.

In the same Nx-electron file of app.ts where mainWindow is being created, I simply added a method similar to Nestjs bootstrap function with Nestjs specifics, called it after electron window created - and behold I have a Nestjs server app running whenever Nx-electron serves!

Correct me if I'm wrong. Once again, thanks.

Hello Sir Please do check out my query. Need help. The Nx-electron is not buildings the project, it's looking for some index.js in dist directory of the project.

I have added screenshot in GitHub issue page. Thanks
