Nx - Smart, Extensible Build Framework

Nx Cloud Github Workflows

✨ Github Workflows for easily configuring distributed CI pipelines powered by the speed and intelligence of Nx Cloud.

Disclaimer: Github Workflow Limitations

These workflows are intended to save folks time and complexity in getting up and running with Nx Cloud and Github Actions. They are NOT intended to be a one-size-fits-all CI solution.

They will scale to workspaces of essentially any size thanks to the way they can distribute and parallelize tasks, however, that does not mean that they are infinitely configurable.

The workflows found here leverage a relatively new feature of Github called reusable workflows: https://docs.github.com/en/actions/using-workflows/reusing-workflows

The extensibility of these Nx Cloud workflows is therefore strictly bound by the capabilities of the Github feature.

This means that you cannot do things such as embed additional Github actions within the workflow, or majorly customize the steps we have set up for you.

If you find yourself needing to customize things beyond what is supported by Github reusable workflows, then the best way is to simply take a look at the source of the workflows within this repo ./.github/workflows and use that as your starting point directly within your own configs.

Example Usage

The following will configure a CI workflow which runs on the main branch, and on all pull requests into the main branch. The CI workflow will do the following:

  • Checkout your repo at the appropriate depth for determining affected projects
  • Determine the head and base SHAs to use for nx affected
  • Install nodejs
  • Use an appropriate node_module caching strategy for either yarn, npm or pnpm (depending on which one is configured in your repo)
  • Install locked dependencies with either yarn, npm or pnpm (depending on which one is configured in your repo)
  • Spawn 3 agents ready to receive tasks/targets to run
  • Initiate all the provided commands in parallel, with those defined in parallel-commands being executed on the main job, and those in parallel-commands-on-agents being intelligently distributed across the 3 agents by Nx Cloud
  • Shut down all agents when all parallel tasks have completed
