Essential background theory and context
Nx Dev Tools is a suite of development tools and libraries for building web applications based on monorepo architecture. A typical Nx application can contain many applications and shared libraries inside a single workspace. The flexibility of monorepo architecture allows for any type of application, backend or frontend, to use the same libraries inside the workspace.
Important note
In this project, we will consider only frontend applications built with the Angular framework.
Nx Dev Tools provides developers with the following features:
- Centralized management of application dependencies: Each application has the same version of the Angular framework so that it is easy to update all at once.
- Fast builds: The build process of an Nx application involves only those artifacts that have been changed and does not do a complete rebuild of the entire monorepo.
- Distributed caching: Each build of the application can be cached locally...
