Build Before Versioning
In order to ensure that projects are built before the new version is applied to their package manifest, you can use the preVersionCommand property in nx.json:
nx.json
1{
2 "release": {
3 "version": {
4 "preVersionCommand": "npx nx run-many -t build"
5 }
6 }
7}
8This command will run the build target for all projects before the version step of Nx Release. Any command can be specified, including non-nx commands. This step is often required when publishing from a custom dist directory, as the dist directory must be built before the version is applied to the dist directory's package manifest.
