router VS qwik-nx

Welcome to the first article of a series where we will explore TanStack Router, a new router for React (version 1.0 released in December 2023).

Tanstack - Tanstack has evolved to an entire ecosystem consisting of the famous Tanstack (or React) Query, Tanstack Table, now also Tanstack Router and Tanstack Form. It started with Tanstack Query, which adopted Nx and Nx Cloud. Zack talked about this collab with Dominik, and we also had Dominik on our Nx live stream. Now, all the above-mentioned Tanstack libs have adopted Nx, and there's more coming.

We've found that `tanstack/router` was patched to make HMR work as expected, but this solution doesn't work for us, as our config is not a class: https://github.com/TanStack/router/commit/9f2150190a628fb3767ca8ad0d8634b357f43c51

React Location certainly needs more attention in the React community. React Location also has a grooving community you can find on StackOverflow, Discord, and GitHub discussions. Finally, I invite you all to try out React Location and see how fantastic a routing solution is.

We wanted to make building on top of Nx even more pleasant, allowing you to introduce your own branding by building your own CLI with Nx. The Qwik-Nx repo is a great example where they allow you to scaffold a new Nx workspace for Qwik development with:

In this blog post, we’ll explore how to combine the strengths of Nx and Qwik to create a todo app. To do this, we’ll take advantage of an Nx Plugin that was created by the Qwikifiers team to maximise the integration between Qwik and Nx, called qwik-nx.

For a while now, Nx plugin authors had the possibility to create a so-called "preset" to control the entire Nx workspace structure. Once published it can be invoked by using the --preset flag:npx create-nx-workspace myapp --preset=@my/plugin. Qwik-Nx is an example of that.

A lot has happened since we introduced the qwik-nx, an official plugin for the Qwik framework. As Qwik breaks free by reaching the v1, we’re happy to announce the release of the stable version of the Nx integration for it.

While the Qwik framework itself confidently continues its way to v1, it feels like an exactly right time to announce the Nx plugin for it, which is named qwik-nx. The main functionality that this plugin provides is the generation and execution of Qwik applications in an Nx workspace that fits the standards of other Nx applications. Since Qwik itself uses Vite as a build tool, this Nx plugin leverages the functionality of the brand new @nrwl/vite package to build and run your Qwik applications.
