Nx Workspace Patterns

This one gives you production-ready patterns for managing Nx monorepos, including workspace setup, project boundaries, and build optimization. It covers the standard library types (feature, ui, data-access, util), shows how to configure nx.json for caching and affected commands, and includes ESLint rules to enforce module boundaries between apps and libs. The templates are solid if you're migrating to Nx or trying to standardize how your team structures shared code. Useful when you want to avoid reinventing dependency rules or figuring out targetDefaults from scratch. Includes a custom generator template for scaffolding feature libraries with proper tags.
