Using Nx Console for automating Angular CLI commands

The Angular CLI is a command-line tool with a variety of commands. Each command can accept a wide range of options and parameters according to the task we want to accomplish. Remembering these commands and their options by heart is daunting and time-consuming. In such cases, the ecosystem of Angular tooling can come in handy. VS Code Marketplace contains many useful extensions that we can install to help us during Angular development. One of these extensions is the Nx Console, which provides a user interface over the Angular CLI. To install the Nx Console in your environment, follow these steps:

1. Open VS Code and click on the Extensions menu in the sidebar:

Figure 1.13 – VS Code Extensions

2. In the EXTENSIONS pane that appears, type Nx Console.
3. Click the Install button on the first item to install the Nx Console extension.
