Add Deno as a default app

[Himadu2000]

Deno is currently gaining lot of support and the de-facto backend for many of apps, so It is a must to add deno as a default app in nx workspace.

Any movement on this, is this planned?

Is someone willing to write a simple package to at least generate the application and to build / serve it?

[andyjessop]

This sounds like a fun little project. Are we talking about Fresh here? That seems like the most popular Deno framework at the moment. Another project would be to build generators for libs that use Deno to lint/test/build.

It seems that someone already attempted something https://github.com/codemonument/nx-deno

why not.

Hi all, we are working on @nrwl/deno in the nx-labs repo right now.
initial goals:

1. be able to build an app/edge function in deno
2. nx project graph support

Here is a little demo showing

1. A sample app and lib being generated
2. using the lib in the app using an import alias

deno-in-prog.mp4

there are

1. app/lib generators
2. build/serve/test/lint executors
3. project graph support

in the PR right and I'm hoping to get a beta cut soon for it.
nrwl/nx-labs#138

That sounds great @barbados-clemens! Here's someone wanting to try it out on their Nest + Angular monorepo. 😃

Always open to feedback.

The plugin has been around for a bit and there have been some changes since initial publish mainly around 'building' in deno.

install @nx/deno and giving it a try!

Good barbados!!

Is there any public project that you have done in nx-labs, that I can take as inspiration to try to get it to run in my project that has been using @nx/webpack:webpack / @angular-devkit/build-angular:browser for a long time?

Thank you so much.

[barbados-clemens]

Most likely cannot just switch out with webpack or angular builders as there will be all kinds of other issues you'll run into. mainly bc those are build steps and deno doesn't necessarily need one, though you can if you wish.

here is an sample api app that might be helpful.

The @nx/deno is deprecated nrwl/nx-labs#400.

Could the team maintain it again?

Deno 2 is out and it's very compatible with node. Is there a plan to re-add Deno as the default support?

[muhamedkarajic]

Add deno 2 so we finally can decently unit test functions.

Anything here? Or any link to an issue that can be worked on?
This would be a game changer to many companies specially in the world of LLM agents - the compilation potential plus backwards compatibility with npm makes deno the reason to some companies I know including my own to be using smth like turbo instead even though Nx is far more mature in every aspect.
Thanks for all the work though and let us know how could we help!

[muhamedkarajic]

Is it a ridiculous idea to have a look at this? I see still nothing have been said after 1 year.
