Generate a workspace complete with both express and react

[Domains18]

I am new to nx. I have been going through the documentation and I realized there is no preset for generating a react-express out of the box, it is also possible that I missed it, so is there such option? Because the CLI does not provide it

@Domains18 The short answer is that we do not have this option.

The React team is recommending folks use a framework such as Next.js or Remix rather than a SPA. Both Next.js and Remix has API capabilities, so I'd first check if those work for you.

If you want to use Express, then I'd recommend starting with the React app first, and then running:

npx nx add @nx/node
npx nx g @nx/node:app --framework=express

This will generate the backend app for you.
