Nx: [Feat] independent/fixed versioning with semantic-release

[snebjorn]

I think it would be a great addition to be able to run semantic-release (or similar) on publishable libraries.

Lerna have something like this. I found this mono repo that demonstrates an independent setup

lerna publish --conventional-commits

There's two modes to this, fixed and independent.

• Fixed will give each library the same version and have a CHANGELOG in the workspace root
• Independent will give each library their own version and have a CHANGELOG in each project root

Hope you'll consider it

Not sure what to do here. Should I keep this alive until it's implemented or rejected?

@vsavkin Can you please help us to know when this will be taken for enhancement ?

[vsavkin]

Sorry. The issue was marked by mistake. I removed the label.

Any movement on this or is it planned?

This is one key piece I am missing right now to be able to independently version each app in NX.

Anybody using any workarounds?

semantic-release is a great project but I would be willing to move to something else if its not possible.

If I could get each app independently versioned (package.json) and Tags in git - all the other stuff I want to do like docker deploys etc - would just fall into place :-)

I would be really interested in what others have done here - or is it just a non-starter?

[iangregsondev]

Any planned "deploy" commands for NX, I did check the community plugins and couldn't find anything that would work here - maybe I missed something?

[guiseek]

do we have something new with this work? is a very important feature, which is preventing large migrations to nx workspaces.

the community compodoc plugin seems to have solved it with an alternative solution, they created a release target in publishable projects.
you can see more here: https://github.com/twittwer/nx-tools/tree/master/tools/release

Do you believe it is a good way @vsavkin ?

[admir86]

It would be nice if it could also work for apps that are packaged in docker images. to version the docker images :)

[Sikora00]

I would love also a dedicated CHANGELOG for each application, and also an update of the version in package.json if exists in app.

[minijus]

Any chance to get this feature prioritized for version 11?

[glebmachine]

Will be nice to have!

[guiseek]

maybe present another solution with the community, like for example, what reason do we have to version all libraries together, I think it would be a great idea as long as we don't have a solution to version using semantic release

[rhys-e]

Couldn't you just add a version field to workspace.json? Then generate a CHANGELOG per lib/app. Trying to additional package.jsons is probably a bad idea

EDIT: Curious @vsavkin if you've changed your view on this since this issue: https://github.com/nrwl/nx/issues/309#issuecomment-561730149
