Updated to Nx version 11.0.18.

Nx version 11 has built-in support for Angular version 11 and ESLint using Nx and angular-eslint plugins which add Angular-specific lint rules and component template processing.

Let's explore different workspace configurations and discuss a few caveats. This guide includes options to use NPM, PNPM, or Yarn, Jest or Karma, as well as Cypress or Protractor. It includes guides both for setting up new Nx workspaces but also for migrating existing Nx workspaces that are either using ESLint or TSLint.

Note that as of Nx 11, generation schematics are known as generators, builders are known as executors, and architect targets are known as targets.

Prerequisites

It's recommended to use Node.js 12 for Nx 11.
This guide assumes that Nx CLI version 11.x is installed globally.
Install Angular CLI version 11.x globally just in case.

Setting up a new Nx Angular workspace with angular-eslint

In this use case, we create a new Nx workspace. We can either use the empty workspace preset or the angular workspace preset.

Option 1: Use the empty workspace preset

Using the empty workspace preset, we use workspace.json version 2 which is compatible with Nx plugins targeting Nx 11 or later.

Generate an Nx workspace.
First, let's create a minimal Nx workspace.

Using NPM CLI:

npm init nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=empty --no-nx-cloud --package-manager=npm

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpm init nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=empty --no-nx-cloud --package-manager=pnpm

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn create nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=empty --no-nx-cloud --package-manager=yarn

Set base branch for affected commands.
If you've been keeping up in 2020, the default branch of your Git repository is main. However, as of Nx version 11.0.18, the base branch for comparison is still set to master, regardless of your default Git settings.

Using main default branch:
```
npx json -I -f nx.json -e "this.affected.defaultBase = 'main';"
```

Delete TSLint.
Nx includes TSlint by default. Now that it's fully end-of-life, it's time to move on. Delete the tslint package.

Using NPM CLI:

npm uninstall tslint

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn remove tslint

Alternatively, use the following preinstall script to permanently remove Codelyzer and TSLint despite generators trying to add them back.

Using NPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(npm uninstall codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (npm uninstall tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
npm install

Using PNPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(pnpm remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (pnpm remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
pnpm install

Using Yarn CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(yarn remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (yarn remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
yarn install

Install and initialize the @nrwl/angular package.
To be able to generate Angular projects, configurations, and classes, we need to install the @nrwl/angular package.

Using NPM CLI:
```
npm install @nrwl/angular
nx generate @nrwl/angular:init
```
Using PNPM CLI:
```
pnpm add @nrwl/angular
nx generate @nrwl/angular:init
```
Using Yarn CLI:
```
yarn add @nrwl/angular
nx generate @nrwl/angular:init
```

Enable Angular strict mode.
We prefer strict configurations for TypeScript and Angular. We enable strict mode for Angular application and library projects.

npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:application'].strict = true;"
npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:library'].strict = true;"

Use ESLint as linter.
We configure ESLint as the default linter for all Angular application and library projects. This includes the angular-eslint plugins.

npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:application'].linter = 'eslint';"
npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:library'].linter = 'eslint';"

Configure unit test runner.
Nx has built-in support for the Jest and Karma testing frameworks for Angular application and library projects.

Use Jest:

npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:application'].unitTestRunner = 'jest';"
npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:library'].unitTestRunner = 'jest';"

Use Karma:

npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:application'].unitTestRunner = 'karma';"
npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:library'].unitTestRunner = 'karma';"

Configure end-to-end test runner.
Nx has built-in support for the Cypress and Protractor end-to-end testing frameworks for Angular application projects.

Use Cypress:

npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:application'].e2eTestRunner = 'cypress';"

Use Protractor:

npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.generators['@nrwl/angular:application'].e2eTestRunner = 'protractor';"

Generate an Angular application project.
Because of our generators configuration, Angular application and library projects will be generated using ESLint and angular-eslint.
```
nx generate @nrwl/angular:application --name=booking-app --prefix=booking --tags="type:app,scope:booking" --no-interactive
```
We should also add project tags to the generated end-to-end testing project.
```
npx json -I -f nx.json -e "this.projects['booking-app-e2e'].tags = ['type:e2e','scope:booking'];"
```
Use strict Angular build budgets.
As of Nx version 11.0.18, the Angular build budgets do not adjust according to Angular strict mode. Let's use the same limits as Angular CLI 11 strict mode.

The main bundle is set to warn at 500 KB and fail at 1 MB. Component styles are set to warn at 2 KB and fail at 4 KB.
```
npx json -I -f workspace.json -e "this.projects['booking-app'].targets.build.configurations.production.budgets = [{ type: 'initial', maximumWarning: '500kb', maximumError: '1mb' }, { type: 'anyComponentStyle', maximumWarning: '2kb', maximumError: '4kb' }];"
```
Delete Codelyzer.
Angular CLI version 11 includes Codelyzer by default when generating a workspace or an Angular application project. Now that TSlint is fully end-of-life, it's time to move on. Delete the codelyzer package.

Using NPM CLI:
```
npm uninstall codelyzer
```
Using PNPM CLI:
```
pnpm remove codelyzer
```
Using Yarn CLI:
```
yarn remove codelyzer
```
Generate an Angular workspace library.
To make sure that our configurations also work for Angular libraries, we create a workspace library.
```
nx generate @nrwl/angular:library feature-flight-search --directory=booking --prefix=booking --tags="type:feature,scope:booking" --buildable --enable-ivy --no-interactive
```
We make good use of Nx 11's enhanced incremental Angular build and serve with computation caching by making the workspace library buildable (but not publishable) and Ivy-compiled.
Verify that linting works.
Run the lint target on all projects to verify that ESLint with angular-eslint works.
```
nx run-many --target=lint --all
```

We have now created an Nx workspace with an Angular application project and an Angular library workspace project. By using the empty workspace preset, we use version 2 of the Nx workspace configuration which uses the terms executors, generators, and targets.

In workspace.json we can verify that the lint targets use the @nrwl/linter:eslint executor.

The base .eslintrc.json configuration should mention the @nrwl/nx/typescript ESLint plugin. Open the .eslintrc.json files in the Angular application and library projects to verify that the @nrwl/nx/angular, @nrwl/nx/angular-template, and @angular-eslint/template/process-inline-templates ESLint plugins are enabled.

Option 2: Use the angular workspace preset

As of Nx version 11.0.18, the angular workspace preset generates the initial Angular application project with angular-eslint, but generates the initial application and end-to-end testing projects without taking these parameters into account:

create-application
e2e-test-runner
no-interactive
strict
tags
unit-test-runner

and the --linter parameter is broken, always giving this error message:

>  NX   ERROR  Invalid linter

  It must be one of the following:

  eslint
  tslint

but ESLint with angular-eslint is the default linter.

Because of this, we have to delete the initial projects if we don't want the defaults, configure schematics and regenerate the Angular application and end-to-end testing projects.

Generate an Nx Angular workspace.

Using NPM CLI:

npm init nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --linter=eslint --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=npm

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpm init nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --linter=eslint --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=pnpm

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn create nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --linter=eslint --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=yarn

Set base branch for affected commands.
If you've been keeping up in 2020, the default branch of your Git repository is main. However, as of Nx version 11.0.18, the base branch for comparison is still set to master, regardless of your default Git settings.

Using main default branch:
```
npx json -I -f nx.json -e "this.affected.defaultBase = 'main';"
```

Delete Codelyzer and TSlint.
Nx version 11 includes Codelyzer by default when using the angular workspace preset. Now that TSlint is fully end-of-life, it's time to move on. Delete the codelyzer and tslint packages.

Using NPM CLI:

npm uninstall codelyzer tslint

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpm remove codelyzer tslint

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn remove codelyzer tslint

Alternatively, use the following preinstall script to permanently remove Codelyzer and TSLint despite generators trying to add them back.

Using NPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(npm uninstall codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (npm uninstall tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
npm install

Using PNPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(pnpm remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (pnpm remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
pnpm install

Using Yarn CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(yarn remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (yarn remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
yarn install

Enable Angular strict mode.
We prefer strict configurations for TypeScript and Angular. We enable strict mode for Angular application and library projects.

npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:application'].strict = true;"
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:library'].strict = true;"

Configure unit test runner.
Nx has built-in support for the Jest and Karma testing frameworks for Angular application and library projects.

Use Jest:

npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:application'].unitTestRunner = 'jest';"
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:library'].unitTestRunner = 'jest';"

Use Karma:

npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:application'].unitTestRunner = 'karma';"
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:library'].unitTestRunner = 'karma';"

Configure end-to-end test runner.
Nx has built-in support for the Cypress and Protractor end-to-end testing frameworks for Angular application projects.

Use Cypress:

npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].application.e2eTestRunner = 'cypress';"

Use Protractor:

npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].application.e2eTestRunner = 'protractor';"

Consolidate schematics configurations.
As of Nx version 11.0.18, passing --preset=angular --linter=eslint to create-nx-workspace creates duplicate entries for Angular application and library schematics defaults in angular.json. This will prevent the configuration from working. Let's fix this.

Consolidate Angular application schematic configuration:
```
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:application'].linter = this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].application.linter; delete this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].application;"
```
Consolidate Angular library schematic configuration:
```
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:library'].linter = this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].library.linter; delete this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].library;"
```
Regenerate application and end-to-end testing projects if using non-default test runners.
If we configured Karma and Protractor instead of Jest and Cypress, we have to delete and regenerate the application and end-to-end testing projects.

Delete end-to-end testing and application projects:
```
nx generate @nrwl/workspace:remove booking-app-e2e
nx generate @nrwl/workspace:remove booking-app
```
Generate application and end-to-end testing projects:
```
nx generate @nrwl/angular:application --name=booking-app --prefix=booking --no-interactive
```
Delete root-level Jest configurations:
```
rm jest.config.js
rm jest.preset.js
```

Tag projects.

Let's add project tags to the generated application and end-to-end testing projects.

npx json -I -f nx.json -e "this.projects['booking-app'].tags = ['type:app','scope:booking'];"
npx json -I -f nx.json -e "this.projects['booking-app-e2e'].tags = ['type:e2e','scope:booking'];"

Use strict Angular build budgets.
As of Nx version 11.0.18, the Angular build budgets do not adjust according to Angular strict mode. Let's use the same limits as Angular CLI 11 strict mode.

The main bundle is set to warn at 500 KB and fail at 1 MB. Component styles are set to warn at 2 KB and fail at 4 KB.
```
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.projects['booking-app'].architect.build.configurations.production.budgets = [{ type: 'initial', maximumWarning: '500kb', maximumError: '1mb' }, { type: 'anyComponentStyle', maximumWarning: '2kb', maximumError: '4kb' }];"
```
Generate an Angular workspace library.
To make sure that our configurations work for Angular libraries, we create a workspace library.
```
nx generate @nrwl/angular:library --name=feature-flight-search --directory=booking --prefix=booking --tags="type:feature,scope:booking" --buildable --enable-ivy --no-interactive
```
We make good use of Nx 11's enhanced incremental Angular build and serve with computation caching by making the workspace library buildable (but not publishable) and Ivy-compiled.
Delete Codelyzer.
Angular CLI version 11 includes Codelyzer by default when generating a workspace or an Angular application project, so we have to delete it again.
Using NPM CLI:
```
npm uninstall codelyzer
```
Using PNPM CLI:
```
pnpm remove codelyzer
```
Using Yarn CLI:
```
yarn remove codelyzer
```
Verify that linting works.
Run the lint target on all projects to verify that ESLint with angular-eslint works.
```
nx run-many --target=lint --all
```

We have now created an Nx workspace with an Angular application project and an Angular library workspace project. By using the angular workspace preset, we use version 1 of the Nx workspace configuration which is exactly the same as what Angular CLI uses. It still uses the terms builders, schematics, and architect targets.

In angular.json we can verify that the lint targets use the @nrwl/linter:eslint executor.

Migrating an existing Nx 10 Angular workspace using ESLint

When migrating to Nx 11, existing projects using ESLint will be migrated to include angular-eslint.

Create Nx 10 workspace with angular preset.
For demonstration purposes, we generate a new Nx Angular workspace with a single application.

Using NPM CLI:

npm init nx-workspace@10 nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --strict --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=npm --linter=eslint

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpm init nx-workspace@10 nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --strict --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=pnpm --linter=eslint

Note that PNPM is only supported from Nx version 11 forward.

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn global add create-nx-workspace@10
create-nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --strict --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=yarn --linter=eslint

Delete Codelyzer and TSLint.
Nx includes Codelyzer and TSlint by default. Now that TSLint's fully end-of-life, it's time to move on. Delete the codelyzer and tslint packages.

Using NPM CLI:

npm uninstall codelyzer tslint

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn remove codelyzer tslint

Alternatively, use the following preinstall script to permanently remove Codelyzer and TSLint despite generators trying to add them back.

Using NPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(npm uninstall codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (npm uninstall tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
npm install

Using PNPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(pnpm remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (pnpm remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
pnpm install

Using Yarn CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(yarn remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (yarn remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
yarn install

Consolidate schematics configurations.
As of Nx version 11.0.18, passing --preset=angular --linter=eslint to create-nx-workspace creates duplicate entries for Angular application and library schematics defaults in angular.json. This will prevent the configuration from working. Let's fix this.

Consolidate Angular application schematic configuration:
```
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:application'].linter = this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].application.linter; delete this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].application;"
```
Consolidate Angular library schematic configuration:
```
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.schematics['@nrwl/angular:library'].linter = this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].library.linter; delete this.schematics['@nrwl/angular'].library;"
```

Generate an Angular workspace library.
To have a slightly more realistic example, we also generate an Angular workspace library project.

nx generate @nrwl/angular:library feature-flight-search --directory=booking --prefix=booking --tags="type:feature,scope:booking" --buildable --no-interactive

Delete Codelyzer.
Angular CLI version 11 includes Codelyzer by default when generating a workspace or an Angular application project, so we have to delete it again.

Using NPM CLI:
```
npm uninstall codelyzer
```
Using Yarn CLI:
```
yarn remove codelyzer
```

Migrate to Nx 11.
When updating to Nx 11, workspaces using ESLint will be migrated to also use angular-eslint.

Using NPM CLI:

nx migrate @nrwl/workspace
npm install

# Good point in time to review migrations.json and make a commit before applying selected migrations
nx migrate --run-migrations=migrations.json
npm install
rm migrations.json

Using PNPM CLI:

nx migrate @nrwl/workspace
pnpm install

# Good point in time to review migrations.json and make a commit before applying selected migrations
nx migrate --run-migrations=migrations.json
pnpm install
rm migrations.json

Using Yarn CLI:

nx migrate @nrwl/workspace
yarn install

# Good point in time to review migrations.json and make a commit before applying selected migrations
nx migrate --run-migrations=migrations.json
yarn install
rm migrations.json

Verify that linting works.
Run the lint target on all projects to verify that ESLint with angular-eslint works.
```
nx run-many --target=lint --all
```

Update angular-eslint.
As of Nx version 11.0.18, angular-eslint version 0.8.0-beta.1 is installed. Let's update it to the latest version.

Using NPM CLI:

npm install --save-dev @angular-eslint/eslint-plugin@latest @angular-eslint/eslint-plugin-template@latest @angular-eslint/template-parser@latest

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpm add --save-dev @angular-eslint/eslint-plugin@latest @angular-eslint/eslint-plugin-template@latest @angular-eslint/template-parser@latest

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn add @angular-eslint/eslint-plugin@latest @angular-eslint/eslint-plugin-template@latest @angular-eslint/template-parser@latest

Verify that linting works.
Run the lint target on all projects to verify that ESLint with angular-eslint works with the latest version.
```
nx run-many --target=lint --all
```

Migrating an existing Nx 10 Angular workspace using TSLint

As of Nx version 11.0.18, Nx hasn't got schematics for Nx Angular workspaces using TSLint to migrate to ESLint with angular-eslint.

Instead, we will use angular-eslint's TSLint to ESLint migration schematics and perform some manual configurations to match that of a fully migrated Nx Angular workspace using ESLint with angular-eslint.

For this example, we will use Nx' default test runners for the angular workspace preset. Currently, this means Cypress and Jest. For Protractor and Karma, only the configuration for the end-to-end test project will differ. Consider generating a new Nx workspace with Karma, Protractor, and ESLint as described elsehwere in this article to compare ESLint configurations.

Note that the angular preset used in this guide uses angular.json. The angular-eslint migrations do not work for Nx workspaces using workspace.json.

Create an Nx 10 workspace using the angular preset.
First we create a new Nx 10 workspace as an example. If you already have an existing workspace, adjust the following migration steps to your own workspace.

Using NPM CLI:

npm init nx-workspace@10 nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --strict --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=npm --linter=tslint

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpx create-nx-workspace@10 nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --strict --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=pnpm --linter=tslint

Note that PNPM is only supported from Nx version 11 forward.

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn global add create-nx-workspace@10
create-nx-workspace nrwl-airlines --npm-scope=nrwl-airlines --preset=angular --app-name=booking-app --strict --no-nx-cloud --style=css --package-manager=yarn --linter=tslint

Generate an Angular workspace library.
This libary project is also for demonstration purposes. This step is not needed if you have an existing Nx workspace.

nx generate @nrwl/angular:library --name=feature-flight-search --directory=booking --prefix=booking --tags="type:feature,scope:booking" --buildable --no-interactive

Migrate to Nx 11.
This is actually an optional step. All of the following steps work exactly the same for Nx 10.

Using NPM CLI:

nx migrate @nrwl/workspace
npm install

# Good point in time to review migrations.json and make a commit before applying selected migrations
nx migrate --run-migrations=migrations.json
npm install
rm migrations.json

Using PNPM CLI:

nx migrate @nrwl/workspace
pnpm install

# Good point in time to review migrations.json and make a commit before applying selected migrations
nx migrate --run-migrations=migrations.json
pnpm install
rm migrations.json

Using Yarn CLI:

nx migrate @nrwl/workspace
yarn install

# Good point in time to review migrations.json and make a commit before applying selected migrations
nx migrate --run-migrations=migrations.json
yarn install
rm migrations.json

Migrate to angular-eslint.
First, we temporarily rename tsconfig.base.json to tsconfig.json because the angular-eslint migrations aren't configured for solution-style TypeScript configurations which Nx uses since version 10.0.
```
mv tsconfig.base.json tsconfig.json
```
Now we run angular-eslint schematics to install necessary development dependencies such as eslint-plugin-*, @angular-eslint/*, and @typescript-eslint/* packages.

Using NPM CLI:
```
npm install --save-dev @angular-eslint/schematics
nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:ng-add
```
Using PNPM CLI:
```
pnpm add --save-dev @angular-eslint/schematics
nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:ng-add
```
Using Yarn CLI:
```
yarn add @angular-eslint/schematics
nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:ng-add
```
This might downgrade the version of eslint already installed by Nx. If this happens, make sure to keep the version installed by Nx. For example the following

Using NPM CLI:
```
npm install --save-dev eslint@7.10.0
```
Using PNPM CLI:
```
pnpm add --save-dev eslint@7.10.0
```
Using Yarn CLI:
```
yarn add eslint@7.10.0
```
Next, we run angular-eslint's TSLint to ESLint generator for each Angular application and library project in our workspace.

In this step, you might see warnings like the following, depending on your TSLint rules:
```
WARNING: Within "tslint.json", the following 1 rule(s) did not have known converters in https://github.com/typescript-eslint/tslint-to-eslint-config

  - nx-enforce-module-boundaries

You will need to decide on how to handle the above manually, but everything else has been handled for you automatically.
```
In the case of the nx-enforce-module-boundaries rule which is the only rule giving us warnings when using the example workspace generated by these steps, don't worry about them as we'll keep our root TSLint configuration file until the very last step. These are the lint rules used by the nx workspace-lint command.

For ESLint, this rule is called @nrwl/nx/enforce-module-boundaries and we will add it to our root ESLint configuration in one of the following steps.

Either run the generator manually for each project:
```
# Migrate booking-app rules to angular-eslint
nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:convert-tslint-to-eslint booking-app

# Migrate booking-app-e2e rules to angular-eslint
nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:convert-tslint-to-eslint booking-app-e2e

# Migrate booking-feature-flight-search rules to angular-eslint
nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:convert-tslint-to-eslint booking-feature-flight-search
```
or loop over the project names in angular.json and run the generator for each project in a script.

Script using PowerShell:
```
foreach ($project in (Get-Content angular.json | ConvertFrom-Json -AsHashtable).projects.GetEnumerator()) { nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:convert-tslint-to-eslint $project.Name }
```
Script using Bash:
```
for project in $(cat angular.json | npx json projects | npx json -M -a key); do nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:convert-tslint-to-eslint $project; done
```
Finally, we revert the temporary renaming of tsconfig.base.json.
```
mv tsconfig.json tsconfig.base.json
```

Configure angular-eslint for Nx workspace.

First, we remove unnecessary development dependencies.

Using NPM CLI:

npm uninstall @angular-eslint/builder @angular-eslint/schematics

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpm remove @angular-eslint/builder @angular-eslint/schematics

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn remove @angular-eslint/builder @angular-eslint/schematics

Then we add required development dependencies.

Using NPM CLI:

npm install --save-dev @nrwl/eslint-plugin-nx eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-cypress

Using PNPM CLI:

pnpm add --save-dev @nrwl/eslint-plugin-nx eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-cypress

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn add --dev @nrwl/eslint-plugin-nx eslint-config-prettier eslint-plugin-cypress

Next, we configure the root ESLint configuration.

# Ignore all files not matched in overrides
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.ignorePatterns = ['**/*'];"

# Support ESLint plugins from `@nrwl/eslint-plugin-nx`
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.plugins = ['@nrwl/nx'];"

# Include tsx files
# Can be left out from an Angular-only workspace
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[0].files = ['*.ts', '*.tsx'];"

# Match all TypeScript project configuration files
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[0].parserOptions.project = './tsconfig.*?.json';"

# This setting is not used by the Nrwl Linter
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[0].parserOptions.createDefaultProgram;"

# Replace angular-eslint plugins with the Nx TypeScript ESLint plugin as it uses them internally
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[0].extends = ['plugin:@nrwl/nx/typescript'];"

# Remove component template rule as this is defined in project-specific ESLint configurations
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides = this.overrides.slice(0, 1);"

# Use Nx JavaScript ESLint plugin for js and jsx files
# Can be left out from an Angular-only workspace
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides = [...this.overrides, { files: ['*.js', '*.jsx'], extends: ['plugin:@nrwl/nx/javascript'], rules: {} }];"

# Remove angular-eslint rules that are added to project-specific ESLint configurations
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[0].rules['@angular-eslint/component-selector'];"
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[0].rules['@angular-eslint/directive-selector'];"

The final change for the root ESLint configuration is to apply our workspace lint rules (and any other rules angular-eslint warned you about).

# This is where we configure the workspace lint rules
# Refer to the root TSLint configuration
npx json -I -f .eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides = [{ files: ['*.ts', '*.tsx', '*.js', '*.jsx'], rules: { '@nrwl/nx/enforce-module-boundaries': ['error', { enforceBuildableLibDependency: true, allow: [], depConstraints: [{ sourceTag: '*', onlyDependOnLibsWithTags: ['*'] }] }] } }, ...this.overrides];"

Now it's time to configure the per-project ESLint configurations. Let's start with the booking-app project.

# Add Nx Angular ESLint plugin and the ESLint inline component template processor
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[0].extends = ['plugin:@nrwl/nx/angular', 'plugin:@angular-eslint/template/process-inline-templates'];"

# Match all TypeScript project configuration files
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[0].parserOptions.project = [this.overrides[0].parserOptions.project[0].replace('/tsconfig.app.json', '/tsconfig.*?.json')];"

# This setting is not used by the Nrwl Linter
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app/.eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[0].parserOptions.createDefaultProgram;"

# Use the ESLint component template processor and recommended component template rules from angular-eslint
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[1].extends = ['plugin:@nrwl/nx/angular-template', 'plugin:@angular-eslint/template/recommended'];"

Next, we configure ESLint and angular-eslint for the booking-feature-flight-search project. We make the same changes as we did for the booking-app project, except we start by correcting the path to the root ESLint configuration because the project-specific configuration is three folders deep in the workspace.

# Correct path to root ESLint configuration
npx json -I -f libs/booking/feature-flight-search/.eslintrc.json -e "this.extends = '../' + this.extends;"

# Add Nx Angular ESLint plugin and the ESLint inline component template processor
npx json -I -f libs/booking/feature-flight-search/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[0].extends = ['plugin:@nrwl/nx/angular', 'plugin:@angular-eslint/template/process-inline-templates'];"

# Match all TypeScript project configuration files
npx json -I -f libs/booking/feature-flight-search/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[0].parserOptions.project = [this.overrides[0].parserOptions.project[0].replace('/tsconfig.lib.json', '/tsconfig.*?.json')];"

# This setting is not used by the Nrwl Linter
npx json -I -f libs/booking/feature-flight-search/.eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[0].parserOptions.createDefaultProgram;"

# Use the ESLint component template processor and recommended component template rules from angular-eslint
npx json -I -f libs/booking/feature-flight-search/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[1].extends = ['plugin:@nrwl/nx/angular-template', 'plugin:@angular-eslint/template/recommended'];"

Finally, we configure ESLint for the booking-app-e2e project.

# Use rules recommended by Cypress
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app-e2e/.eslintrc.json -e "this.extends = ['plugin:cypress/recommended', this.extends];"

# Delete rule for component templates
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app-e2e/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides = this.overrides.slice(0, 1);"

# Add rules specifically for the Cypress plugin loader
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app-e2e/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides = [{ files: ['src/plugins/index.js'], rules: { '@typescript-eslint/no-var-requires': 'off', 'no-undef': 'off' } }, ...this.overrides];"

# Match all TypeScript project configuration files
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app-e2e/.eslintrc.json -e "this.overrides[1].parserOptions.project = [this.overrides[1].parserOptions.project[0].replace('/tsconfig.app.json', '/tsconfig.*?.json')];"

# This setting is not used by the Nrwl Linter
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app-e2e/.eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[1].parserOptions.createDefaultProgram;"

# Remove Angular declarable rules
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app-e2e/.eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[1].rules['@angular-eslint/component-selector'];"
npx json -I -f apps/booking-app-e2e/.eslintrc.json -e "delete this.overrides[1].rules['@angular-eslint/directive-selector'];"

Open apps/booking-app-e2e/src/support/commands.ts and put the following comment before the line which says declare namespace Cypress {:

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-namespace

In the same file, add this coment before the line which says interface Chainabile<Subject> {:

// eslint-disable-next-line @typescript-eslint/no-unused-vars

Use Nrwl Linter builder.
The final step is to replace @angular-eslint/builder:lint with @nrwl/linter:eslint in our workspace configuration.

# Use Nrwl Linter
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.projects['booking-app'].architect.lint.builder = '@nrwl/linter:eslint';"
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.projects['booking-feature-flight-search'].architect.lint.builder = '@nrwl/linter:eslint';"
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.projects['booking-app-e2e'].architect.lint.builder = '@nrwl/linter:eslint';"

# Only lint js and ts files in the end-to-end test project
npx json -I -f angular.json -e "this.projects['booking-app-e2e'].architect.lint.options.lintFilePatterns = [this.projects['booking-app-e2e'].architect.lint.options.lintFilePatterns[0].replace('*.ts', '*.{js,ts}')];"

Remove Codelyzer and TSLint.

Using NPM CLI:

npm uninstall codelyzer tslint
rm tslint.json

Using Yarn CLI:

yarn remove codelyzer tslint
rm tslint.json

Alternatively, use the following preinstall script to permanently remove Codelyzer and TSLint despite generators trying to add them back.

Using NPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(npm uninstall codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (npm uninstall tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
npm install

Using PNPM CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(pnpm remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (pnpm remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
pnpm install

Using Yarn CLI:

npx json -I -f package.json -e "this.scripts.preinstall = '(yarn remove codelyzer || echo ✅ Codelyzer is already removed.) && (yarn remove tslint || echo ✅ TSLint is already removed.)';"
yarn install

Verify that linting works.
Run the lint target on all projects to verify that ESLint with angular-eslint works.
```
nx run-many --target=lint --all
```

Conclusion

The empty preset for an Nx workspace is great, because it uses the new workspace.json version 2 schema with executors, generators, and targets. We can configure it however we want and it supports angular-eslint well.

A new Nx workspace can be created using the angular preset to keep using the angular.json workspace configuration.

An existing Nx 10 workspace using ESLint can migrate to angular-eslint without any issues. As part of migrating to Nx 11, angular-eslint will be installed and configured for existing projects using ESLint.

If we have an existing Nx 10 workspace using TSLint, we can migrate to Nx 11 without any issues, but there's not automatic migration from using TSLint to angular-eslint yet as of Nx version 11.0.18.

However, there are migrations for Angular CLI workspaces. We can use these as a starting point to install angular-eslint and create necessary ESLint configuration files and plugins.

To configure angular-eslint manually for an Nx workspace, we carefully adjust our ESLint configurations in the same way as a new Nx workspace would. Additionally, we switch to the Nrwl Linter instead of the angular-eslint builder.

No matter which combination of technologies we're using, it's possible to get rid of Codelyzer and TSLint today and start using angular-eslint instead.

Some Angular-specific TSLint rules from Codelyzer do not have corresponding angular-eslint rules implemented yet. At the time of writing, the missing rules are:

angular-whitespace
contextual-decorator
import-destructuring-spacing
no-unused-css
prefer-inline-decorator
template-accessibility-alt-text
template-accessibility-label-for
template-accessibility-table-scope
template-click-events-have-key-events
template-conditional-complexity
template-no-any

Why should we migrate away from TSLint as fast as possible? On December 1st 2020, TSLint went fully end-of-life. No PRs or issues are accepted ever again. This means that any release of Angular, TypeScript, Node.js, or any of TSLint's dependencies can potentially break TSLint version 6.1.3, the last version to ever be published. TSLint was deprecated 2 years ago.

You're a legend! Thank you so much for this.

Note: if anyone is struggling to get this work due to zsh errors, you'll want to fix the conditionals by escaping the square brackets since zsh tries to do it's own own thing with those

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Dec 15 '20

That's great 😊 I just realized that we might need to treat non-Angular projects differently, somewhat similar to the e2e project, but without the Cypress rules. Maybe we should filter on builders or something like that.

Kyle Cannon • Dec 15 '20

Ah yeah.. you're right. Totally doable though.

Petter • Jan 15 '21

Thank you so much for this guide 😊 the json package stopped supporting lookups in v10 (github.com/trentm/json/blob/master...). Any ideas as to how to migrate all those json editing commands?

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Jan 15 '21

Hi,

I'm using json version 10.0. It complains sometimes. I have it installed globally which usually works. Sometimes you have to install it as a development dependency in the project and use npx or pnpx to run it. If everything fails, installing it as a development dependency and running it through a package.json script usually works.

Petter • Jan 17 '21

Ah!

I was skimming the json changelog and assumed it was the version, as I have successfully done this in the past. But that was on a different machine/environment, so it was probably something else.

Global install and omitting npx solved it for me. Thanks ☺️

C.OG • Jun 3 '21

THANK YOU! Caps intended .. this was so so useful

VILLAN3LL3 • Dec 29 '20

After converting my Angular 11 project to eslint according to this tutorial, it takes 20 minutes to do the linting, as opposed to a few seconds before with TSLint. Is there anyone here who has observed the same behavior? Where is the mistake?

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Dec 29 '20

Which command do you usually use for linting?

Did you try something like

nx workspace-lint && nx run-many --target=lint --all --parallel --max-parallel=4

nx workspace-lint && nx affected --target=lint --parallel --max-parallel=4

VILLAN3LL3 • Dec 30 '20

I've already tried both. Likewise ng lint and nx lint. It always takes so long. Isn't that the case with you?

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Dec 31 '20

I don't currently have access to a large real world repo, but I just set this one up github.com/LayZeeDK/nx-nrwl-airlin...

David • Feb 12 '21 • Edited

There definitely is a mistake because I'm noticing the opposite. I'm getting about 2x speed improvements in my lint builds which at longest took over 20 minutes and now takes about 10 minutes.

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Feb 12 '21

It could have to do with operating system. Which operating system are you all using? I'm on Windows 10.

VILLAN3LL3 • Feb 12 '21

Win 10

VILLAN3LL3 • Feb 12 '21

Thank you for sharing your experience, David! Is your repository public so I can compare the eslint implementation?

Comment deleted

VILLAN3LL3 • Feb 12 '21

This would be really great, thank you! Can you add the tsconfig, too?

Kyle Cannon • Dec 14 '20 • Edited

For people wanting to not do the nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:convert-tslint-to-eslint for a lot of projects... install jq and then run the following below:

for project in $(cat angular.json | jq -c '.projects | to_entries | map_values(.key) | .[]' | xargs echo); do nx generate @angular-eslint/schematics:convert-tslint-to-eslint $project; done

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Dec 14 '20 • Edited

Thanks for this nice suggestion. For some reason, installing jq fails on my machine both under Node 10 and Node 12, so I added a PowerShell script and a Bash script using the json package to do the same as what you suggest here.

Frederico Jesus • Feb 25 '21

Hi. Just ran into a different problem after following this guide.
I'm getting this error: 'cannot read config file ........@typescript-eslint.js'.

The error also says that something on eslint-config-prettier version 8.0.0 and to go here github.com/prettier/eslint-config-... to follow instructions.

I followed their instructions but just can't remove that error, can someone help?

For now I reverted eslint-config-prettier to version 7.2.0 and everything works fine, but would be great if someone could help solving the issue for versions 8+.

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Feb 25 '21

Hi, which version of eslint-config-prettier gets installed with the latest Nx version?

Frederico Jesus • Mar 2 '21

Hi Lars, just made the test, version 6.0.0 gets installed. I think this answers the question, thanks a lot.
So maybe they will address this issue when they start using version 8 of eslint-config-prettier.

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Dec 16 '20

There's currently an issue with some @nrwl/* packages being released at version 11.0.5 while others are still at 11.0.4. I assume this will stabilize soon.

VILLAN3LL3 • Dec 29 '20 • Edited

Is there a github repo with the final versions for comparing purposes? Thx!

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Dec 29 '20 • Edited

Not right now, but that's a great idea 👍

Here's a more realistic sample project generated using the Nx 11 Angular workspace preset github.com/LayZeeDK/nx-nrwl-airlin...

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Mar 24 '21

Happy to let you all know that Nx 11.6 comes with an official TSLint to ESLint (and angular-eslint) migration.

Lars Gyrup Brink Nielsen • Mar 30 '21

The @nrwl/angular:convert-tslint-to-eslint generator was released as part of Nx 11.6.0, but it seems to only migrate one project at a time. If you're looking to bulk convert a workspace, you have to come up with a solution similar to this suggestion.
