nrwl/nx How to publish a NestJs library with npm?

Question

I need some help, by creating a publishable nestjs library with nx. I've read a lot of documentations, but nothing helps.

I wrote a nestjs library in a NX monorepository. Now i want to publish only this library on NPM, but i dont know how.

On official NX documentation i found a flag named "--publishable". The only problem is you can't use it together with a NestJs library. If you enter a command like this:

ng g @nrwl/nest:library mylib --publishable 

you will get an error:

Unknown Option: "--publishable".

So with a NestJs library this flag doesnt work.

Now i want to create a package.json on my own and this is the point i dont know how. I have to build this library and then i have to publish it on npm. This process is killing me...

Im using the latest version of NX!

I will be very happy about a solution.

Answer 1

1. ng g lib your_lib --publishable

2. ng build your_lib

3. change the contents of your_lib_.module to reflect that of a nestJs.module

4. npm login

5. npm publish inside the dir of your_lib_name

   I hope this helps
