CLI Configuration Flexibility in Nx

[nyxb]

Hi everyone,

I would like to understand why there seems to be no way to specify custom configurations in the Nx CLI or in the nx.json. For example, when I run nx g @nx/next:app apps/new-app, I would like to use my own testing framework configuration (e.g., Vitest) and my own ESLint configuration. Either I can't find the right options, or they simply don't exist.

Despite my efforts to completely remove Jest from my project, I still receive messages indicating that @nx/jest... is being generated, and Jest files automatically appear in both the root and application directories.

The main reason I tried Nx was because of the CLI, but it feels like I am constantly forced back to the default configurations, including the ESLint settings that I don't want. I have my own ESLint configuration, but every time I run a CLI command, Prettier files and EditorConfig files are also created, which I do not want.

Are there plans to make the CLI more flexible, or am I just not able to find the right settings?

Thanks in advance for your help!
