PACE Plugin for Nx

This plugin provides a collection of generators to help you build cloud-native applications with AWS, TypeScript, and React.

What are Generators?

Generators (also known as schematics) are powerful tools that automate the creation and modification of code. They help maintain consistency across your codebase by following established patterns and best practices. When you run a generator, it:

1. Prompts for necessary configuration options
2. Creates new files from templates
3. Updates existing files when needed
4. Follows project conventions automatically

For more information about generators, see the Nx Generator documentation.
