# Add a New Lit Project
The code for this example is available on GitHub:
{% github-repository url="https://github.com/nrwl/nx-recipes/tree/main/lit" /%}
**Supported Features**
Because we are not using an Nx plugin for Lit, there are few items we'll have to configure manually. We'll have to configure our own build system. There are no pre-created Lit-specific code generators. And we'll have to take care of updating any framework dependencies as needed.

## Install Lit and Other Dependencies
Install all the dependencies we need:
{% tabs %}
{%tab label="npm"%}
```shell {% skipRescope=true %}
nx add @nx/node
npm add -D lit http-server
```
{% /tab %}
{%tab label="yarn"%}
```shell {% skipRescope=true %}
nx add @nx/node
yarn add -D lit http-server
```
{% /tab %}
{%tab label="pnpm"%}
```shell {% skipRescope=true %}
nx add @nx/node
pnpm add -D lit http-server
```
{% /tab %}
{% /tabs %}
## Create an Application
{% callout type="note" title="Directory Flag Behavior Changes" %}
The command below uses the `as-provided` directory flag behavior, which is the default in Nx 16.8.0. If you're on an earlier version of Nx or using the `derived` option, omit the `--directory` flag. See the [as-provided vs. derived documentation](/deprecated/as-provided-vs-derived) for more details.
{% /callout %}
We'll start with a node application and then tweak the settings to match what we need. Add a new node application to your workspace with the following command:
```shell
nx g @nx/node:app my-lit-app --directory=apps/my-lit-app
```
Choose `none` for the node framework, since we won't be using this as a node app.
### Turn the Application into a Lit Application
Update `main.ts`:
```typescript {% fileName="apps/my-lit-app/src/main.ts" %}
import { LitElement, html } from 'lit';
import { customElement, property } from 'lit/decorators.js';
@customElement('my-element')
export class MyElement extends LitElement {
@property()
version = 'STARTING';
render() {
return html`
<p>Welcome to the Lit tutorial!</p>
<p>This is the ${this.version} code.</p>
`;
}
}
```
Create `index.html`:
```html {% fileName="apps/my-lit-app/index.html" %}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script type="module" src="main.js"></script>
<style>
body {
font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif;
font-size: 1.5em;
padding-left: 0.5em;
}
</style>
</head>
<body>
<my-element></my-element>
</body>
</html>
```
### Update the Build Task
In the `project.json` file update the `options` under the `build` target. The properties that need to change are `format`, `bundle`, `thirdParty`, and `assets`:
```json {% fileName="apps/my-lit-app/project.json" %}
{
"targets": {
"build": {
"executor": "@nx/esbuild:esbuild",
"outputs": ["{options.outputPath}"],
"defaultConfiguration": "production",
"options": {
"outputPath": "dist/apps/my-lit-app",
"format": ["esm"],
"bundle": true,
"thirdParty": true,
"main": "apps/my-lit-app/src/main.ts",
"tsConfig": "apps/my-lit-app/tsconfig.app.json",
"assets": ["apps/my-lit-app/src/assets", "apps/my-lit-app/index.html"],
"generatePackageJson": true,
"esbuildOptions": {
"sourcemap": true,
"outExtension": {
".js": ".js"
}
}
}
}
}
}
```
Now, when you run the build, there should be `index.html`, `main.js` and `package.json` under `dist/apps/my-lit-app`. Try it out:
```shell
nx build my-lit-app
```
### Update the Serve Task
To serve the app, we'll completely overwrite the existing `serve` task. Change it to this:
```json {% fileName="apps/my-lit-app/project.json" %}
{
"targets": {
"serve": {
"dependsOn": ["build"],
"executor": "nx:run-commands",
"options": {
"commands": [
"http-server dist/apps/my-lit-app",
"nx watch --projects=my-lit-app --includeDependentProjects -- nx build my-lit-app"
]
}
}
}
}
```
`"dependsOn": ["build"]` will ensure that the `build` task is always run before the `serve` task. The entries under `commands` will each be run in parallel. The `http-server` line serves the `build` output with a simple server. The `nx watch` line will automatically re-run the `build` task any time the application code or any project it depends on changes.
Run the `serve` task and see your Lit app in action:
```shell
nx serve my-lit-app
```
## Create a Library
{% callout type="note" title="Directory Flag Behavior Changes" %}
The command below uses the `as-provided` directory flag behavior, which is the default in Nx 16.8.0. If you're on an earlier version of Nx or using the `derived` option, omit the `--directory` flag. See the [as-provided vs. derived documentation](/deprecated/as-provided-vs-derived) for more details.
{% /callout %}
Let's create a library that our Lit application is going to consume. To create a new library, install the `@nx/js` package and run:
```shell
nx g @nx/js:lib my-lib --directory=libs/my-lib
```
Once the library is created, update the following files.
```typescript {% fileName="libs/my-lib/src/lib/my-lib.ts" %}
export function someFunction(): string {
return 'some function';
}
```
```typescript {% fileName="apps/my-lit-app/src/main.ts" %}
import { LitElement, html } from 'lit';
import { customElement, property } from 'lit/decorators.js';
import { someFunction } from '@my-org/my-lib';
@customElement('my-element')
export class MyElement extends LitElement {
@property()
version = 'STARTING';
render() {
return html`
<p>Welcome to the Lit tutorial!</p>
<p>This is the ${this.version} code.</p>
<p>Imported from a library: ${someFunction()}.</p>
`;
}
}
```
Now when you serve your application, you'll see the content from the library being displayed.
