Setup

Let's assume you already have a Vercel Account. For the rest of the guide you will need a Vercel Access Token and your team ID. You can create a vercel access token in your account settings. Your team ID can be found under your team settings page.

Have those handy as we'll need them to authorize your monorepo to Vercel's remote cache.

Usage

``sh
npm install --save-dev @vercel/remote-nx
`

In your nx.json file you will find a tasksRunnerOptions field. Update this field so that it's using the installed @vercel/remote-nx

`jsonc filename=nx.json
{
"tasksRunnerOptions": {
"default": {
"runner": "@vercel/remote-nx",
"options": {
"cacheableOperations": ["build", "test", "lint", "e2e"],
"token": "",
"teamId": ""
}
}
}
}
`

You can specify your token and teamId in your nx.json or set them as environment variables.

| Parameter | Description |  Environment Variable / .env | nx.json |
| ------------------------- | ----------------------------------------------------- | ------------------------------ | --------- |
| Vercel Access Token | Vercel access token with access to the provided team | NX_VERCEL_REMOTE_CACHE_TOKEN | token |
| Vercel Team ID (optional) | The Vercel Team ID that should share the Remote Cache | NX_VERCEL_REMOTE_CACHE_TEAM | teamId |

Run it 🚀

Clear your local cache and rebuild your project.

`sh
nx reset
nx build
`

Advanced Configuration

| Option | Description |
