simplify Nx workspace.json config

[dongyuwei]

Current Nx workspace.json is too long and tedious, can we simplify it like pnpm's workspace config? Look at Vue3's pnpm workspace config https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/blob/master/pnpm-workspace.yaml.

Also, maybe we can rename Nx workspace.json to nx-workspace.json.

You can split your workspace.json to per-project configuration to create multiple shorter config files, see: https://blog.nrwl.io/core-performance-improvements-webpack-5-react-native-and-more-in-nx-13-cfe63c7415f1#909e

Yes we can use project.json per project, but Nx 13 still supports workspace.json.

I don't understand, how it does not solve your problem? You are not forced to use single large workspace.json file.

can you look at this one ?https://github.com/nrwl/nx/blob/master/workspace.json

And compare with https://github.com/vuejs/vue-next/blob/master/pnpm-workspace.yaml
