echo-app-nx

A basic monorepo setup using Nx and pnpm, built to accompany the Spanish lesson Creando un Proyecto Básico con Nx.

While the lesson is written in Spanish, this repository — including code, comments, and documentation — uses English to follow common development practices and align with the official Nx documentation.

This project demonstrates how to initialize and structure a TypeScript monorepo using Nx with pnpm as the package manager. It contains a single application called arena, organized under the packages/ directory.

🚀 Getting Started

Make sure you have Node.js and pnpm installed:

node --version
pnpm --version

Then install dependencies:

pnpm install

🛠 Build the Project

To compile the arena-app:

pnpm nx build @echo-app-nx/arena-app

The compiled output will be placed under:
