create nx monorepo with nextjs + nestjs

nx-monorepo-nextjs-nestjs.md

set up an nx monorepo with nextjs front-end and nestjs back-end

yarn global add nx

# start with an empty monorepo and use nx as the cli (vs angular)
yarn create nx-workspace [monorepo_name] --preset=empty --cli=nx

# start with empty monorepo using yarn package manager and js/ts plugin installed
yarn create nx-workspace --package-manager=yarn --preset=ts

cd [monorepo_name]

If starting a fresh project w/ yarn preferred, consider removing package-lock.json and running yarn.

yarn add -D @nrwl/next
yarn add -D @nrwl/nest

nx generate @nrwl/next:application client
nx generate @nrwl/nest:application api --frontendProject client

You may wish to add a script to package.json for the API:

"start:api": "nx serve api"
