Generate executor

The generate executor runs code generation using go generate ./..., processing all //go:generate directives in the project tree.

Usage

nx run my-go-project:generate

Use nx run <project>:generate instead of nx generate <project> to avoid conflicts with Nx’s native generator command.

Options

Option	Type	Default	Description
env	object	-	Environment variables to set when running the executor
flags	string[]	-	Flags to pass to the go generate command

Inferred target

Inferred for all Go projects (applications and libraries):

{
  "executor": "@naxodev/gonx:generate",
  "cache": true,
  "dependsOn": ["^generate"],
  "inputs": ["goSource"]
}

The ^generate dependency means generate targets run after upstream project generate targets complete. Unlike build/test/lint/tidy, generate hashes only the project’s own goSource (no ^goSource) — go:generate directives only read the local module, and correctness relative to dependencies is already handled by the ^generate ordering above. See caching and inputs for details.
