Use Nx release to version apps

[ak274]

Hi @JamesHenry!

We have multiple apps in our workspace which are dependent on many non-buildable and buildable libs.. Now i want to understand how we can configure the release in nx.json to support versioning and change logs? If we make a change in a lib which is dependency to one app it should only version that app and not all the apps in the /apps folder.

Currently my config is following but this config always do version for all the apps in the folder instead of it i want it to do the versioning to only affected apps :

"release": {
    "projectsRelationship": "independent",
    "releaseTagPattern": "{projectName}-{version}",
    "projects": ["apps/*", "!apps/docs"],
    "git": {
      "commitMessage": "chore({projectName}): release version ${version} [skip ci]"
    },
    "changelog": {
      "projectChangelogs": true
    }
  }

Can you provide some more about your work flow?

• which files did you change since the previous release?
  • only files in the lib?
  • or also files in the root directory of your repo?
• how do you initiate a release?
  • nx release
    • it should prompt you for a specifier for each project
      • so all your apps will appear here, but you only have to select the single app
