Introduction

GoNx is an Nx plugin for Go development. It brings the benefits of Nx — caching, affected-task detection, project graph visualization, and generators — to Go projects without requiring hand-written project.json targets.

What gonx does

Section titled “What gonx does”

gonx infers test, lint, tidy, and generate targets automatically from every go.mod in your workspace, plus build and serve for applications. It builds the Nx project graph by parsing Go source files with tree-sitter to extract import statements and resolve them to Nx projects — no Go toolchain required for graph computation. It also ships generators for scaffolding applications, libraries, and Go Blueprint projects with web frameworks and database drivers.

Who it’s for

Section titled “Who it’s for”

gonx is for teams and individuals who already use Nx (or want to) and have Go projects in their workspace. It is a fork of @nx-go/nx-go, modernized for Nx 23 with inferred tasks and a tree-sitter-based project graph. If you are migrating from nx-go, see the migration guide.
