@nx/angular:host

Create an Angular Host Module Federation Application.

Usage

1nx generate host ... 2

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

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

1nx g @nx/angular:host ... 2

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

1nx g host ... --dry-run 2

1nx g @nx/angular:host appName --remotes=remote1 2
