It seems like it would still work fine (and then Nx sync would happen automatically) in the case of still using ts aliases/paths. But in the workspace case. Might be an ide question though not an Nx question. Just want to make sure DX is not cumbersome. - ThreadSky

Also, if that is coming in the third article in the series then I will wait until after!

Maybe this will help?

Ok I read it, doesn't really answer my question and just leads me to believe this is more of an IDE question than Nx question.

If I am using Project References w/ Workspaces, how does my IDE know where to import my stuff from?

Lets say I generate a new lib `mylib` and add a function `myfunc`, I know Nx will setup the root tsconfig and such, but if I go to an existing lib and start typing `myfu` how does the IDE know where to import that from? Before it knew due to aliases, but until nx sync is run, the ref does not exist.

Ahh, so that's part of "workspaces". When you set the workspace in the package.json, npm will hoist any packages in there to the root level node_module. From there it's just node's module resolution.

Project refs just tell the IDE about the Types. Workspaces tell the IDE where things are

Ah ok, I think I just need to play with it then. I haven't used workspaces before so this is introducing multiple topics to me. Trying to delineate between what is what.

Probably! Will read it later, becoming a certified scrum master today...
