All Next.js projects usually come with these package.json scripts:
package.json
1{
2 ...
3 "scripts": {
4 ...
5 "build": "next build",
6 "start": "next start"
7 }
8}
9Running next start will only work if the .next folder is present in the project's root. This folder is created when running next build.
This is a very simple use case of a task pipeline, which defines dependencies among tasks.
In this lesson we're going to create a simple task pipeline such that whenever you run next start, Nx will automatically run next build (or restore it from the cache).
