MERN is one of several variations of the MEAN stack (MongoDB Express Angular Node), where the traditional Angular.js front-end framework is replaced with React.js. Other variants include MEVN (MongoDB, Express, Vue, Node), and really any front-end JavaScript framework can work.
MERN stands for MongoDB, Express, React, Node, after the four key technologies that make up the stack.
- MongoDB — document database
- Express(.js) — Node.js web framework
- React(.js) — a client-side JavaScript framework
- Node(.js) — the premier JavaScript web server
Express and Node make up the middle (application) tier. Express.js is a server-side web framework, and Node.js is the popular and powerful JavaScript server platform. Regardless of which variant you choose, ME(RVA)N is the ideal approach to working with JavaScript and JSON, all the way through.

Run nx g @nrwl/react:lib my-lib to generate a library.
You can also use any of the plugins above to generate libraries as well.
Libraries are shareable across libraries and applications. They can be imported from @_/mylib.
Run nx serve my-app for a dev server. Navigate to http://localhost:4200/. The app will automatically reload if you change any of the source files.
Run nx g @nrwl/react:component my-component --project=my-app to generate a new component.
Run nx build my-app to build the project. The build artifacts will be stored in the dist/ directory. Use the --prod flag for a production build.
Run nx test my-app to execute the unit tests via Jest.
Run nx affected:test to execute the unit tests affected by a change.
Run nx e2e my-app to execute the end-to-end tests via Cypress.
Run nx affected:e2e to execute the end-to-end tests affected by a change.
Run nx graph to see a diagram of the dependencies of your projects.
