nest: Import a library into the current NestJS project.
$ nest add ${library_name}
try on your machine

The command "nest add ${library_name}" is likely used in a project that is utilizing the Nest.js framework.

Here's a breakdown of each component:

  • "nest" refers to the Nest CLI (Command Line Interface), which is a tool used to generate, manage, and run various aspects of a Nest.js application.
  • "add" is a command that instructs the Nest CLI to add a new library or module to the project.
  • "${library_name}" is a placeholder where you need to replace "library_name" with the actual name of the library you want to add.

In practical terms, this command is used to add a new library to your Nest.js project. By specifying the library name, the Nest CLI will search for the requested library in its available repository and install it within your project, making it available for use in your codebase. The addition of libraries can enhance your Nest.js application by providing additional functionality, such as integration with databases, authentication methods, or other third-party services.
