nx.json Core Ideas

• Set affected.defaultBase to your primary integration branch.
• Define namedInputs so build/test/lint can share deterministic input sets.
• Use targetDefaults to keep task behavior consistent across projects.

Implicit Dependencies

Use implicit/global inputs for files that impact many projects, such as:

• root TypeScript config
• lint config
• shared build or test presets

Graph Visualization Tips

• Run nx graph during architecture changes.
• Validate that feature and shared layers remain acyclic.
• Use graph views in PR reviews for dependency-heavy changes.
