# @nrwl/cypress:cypress-project

Add a Cypress E2E Project

## Usage

```bash
nx generate cypress-project ...
```

By default, Nx will search for `cypress-project` in the default collection provisioned in `workspace.json`.

You can specify the collection explicitly as follows:

```bash
nx g @nrwl/cypress:cypress-project ...
```

Show what will be generated without writing to disk:

```bash
nx g cypress-project ... --dry-run
```
