Public notes from activescott tagged with both #tools and #nx
Before running any cacheable task, Nx computes its computation hash. As long as the computation hash is the same, the output of running the task is the same.
By default, the computation hash for something like nx test remixapp includes:
All the source files of remixapp and its dependencies Relevant global configuration Versions of external dependencies Runtime values provisioned by the user such as the version of Node CLI Command flags
Nx is a build system for monorepos. It helps you develop faster and keep CI fast as your codebase scales.
Runs tasks fast - Caches results so you never rebuild the same code twice. Understands your codebase - Builds project and task graphs showing how everything connects. Orchestrates intelligently - Runs tasks in the right order, parallelizing when possible. Enforces boundaries - Module boundary rules prevent unwanted dependencies between projects. Handles flakiness - Automatically re-runs flaky tasks and self-heals CI failures.
