Nx comes with dedicated documentation for each framework:

@nrwl/nx-plugin:generator

Create a generator for an Nx Plugin

Usage

nx generate generator ...

By default, Nx will search for generator in the default collection provisioned in workspace.json.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

nx g @nrwl/nx-plugin:generator ...

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

nx g generator ... --dry-run
