NestJS 8 Support

The latest release of the NestJS framework included improvements across the entire platform, including the framework, GraphQL, and other packages. Some highlights include:

• API versioning
• Lazy-loading of modules
• Upgrade to RxJS 7

For Nx workspaces with Angular and NestJS applications, upgrading to NestJS 8 requires an upgrade to RxJS 7. We have accounted for this in the migration. The compatibility scenarios are listed below.

• For Angular users on RxJS 6 that have NestJS 7 applications, updating to RxJS 7 is required to upgrade to NestJS 8.
• If you opt-out of upgrading to RxJS 7, you won’t be updated to NestJS 8.
• For workspaces with Angular and NestJS apps on RxJS 7, you will be updated to NestJS 8.
