Build .NET with Nx

The goal of @nx/dotnet is to make it easy and straightforward to build .NET applications in an Nx workspace. It provides intelligent project graph analysis, automatic dependency detection, and smart target configuration using MSBuild.

#### Step 1: Add the .NET plugin to your Nx workspace

``bash
nx add @nx/dotnet
`

#### Step 2: Configure the plugin in your nx.json

`json
{
"plugins": ["@nx/dotnet"]
}
`

#### Step 3: Create your .NET projects

`bash


Create a console application

dotnet new console -n MyApp

Create a class library

dotnet new classlib -n MyLibrary

Create a test project

dotnet new xunit -n MyApp.Tests
`

The plugin will automatically detect your .NET projects and configure appropriate Nx targets.

#### Step 4: Run Build, Test, and other commands

`bash


Build a project

nx build my-app

Run tests

nx test my-app-tests

Build with Release configuration

nx build my-app --configuration Release

Create a NuGet package

nx pack my-library

Publish an application

nx publish my-app
`
