Nx 11 Support and Plugin Updates
Devin Shoemaker
Maintainer of NxtendThe Nxtend plugins have been updated to support Nx 11, and with that are coming some changes. Nxtend plugin versions will now be more closely aligned with Nx, and the Ionic and Capacitor plugins will be more closely aligned with their respective projects. A lot of work have gone into the updates of each of these plugins. Features have been added, bugs have been fixed, and there were even some breaking changes. However, I think that Nxtend is the most sustainable and maintanable than ever.

Ionic ReactThis plugin has some more dramatic changes compared to the rest. I have determined that some changes needed to be made to ensure the longevity of this project, and that resulted in the removal of some functionality. This is a breaking change in terms of interfacing with the plugin schematics, but it should not break existing applications. In this case, a number of options have been removed from the application
schematic.
This includes:
In exchange, this plugin now supports generating several of the official starter templates, such as tabs and sidemenu. These changes more closely align this plugin with the Ionic CLI and will make the project vastly more maintainable. In the future I want to support more schematics such as libraries, pages, and more, and I want to be able add these enhancements in a scalable manner.
I hope the users of this plugin will understand this decision. Removing functionality is never a good user experience, but I believe that this change will pay dividends in the future.
