docs(misc): remove /nx-api pages (#31453)
This PR removes the `/nx-api` pages from `nx-dev`. They are already
redirected from `/nx-api` to either `/technologies` or
`/reference/core-api` URLs.

e.g. `/nx-api/nx` goes to `/reference/core-api/nx` and `/nx-api/react`
goes to `/technologies/react/api`

**Changes**:
- Remove old `nx-api.json` from being generated in
`scripts/documentation/generators/generate-manifests.ts` -- this was
used to generate the sitemap
- Remove `pages/nx-api` from Next.js app since we don't need them
- Remove workaround from link checker
`scripts/documentation/internal-link-checker.ts` -- the angular
rspack/rsbuild and other workarounds are gone now that they are proper
docs in `map.json`
- Update Powerpack/Remote Cache reference docs to exclude API documents
(since they are duplicated in the Intro page) --
`nx-dev/models-document/src/lib/mappings.ts`
- All content in `docs` have been updated with new URL structure

**Note:** Redirects are already handled, and Claude Code was used to
verify the updated `docs/` URLs (see report below). The twelve 404s
links were updated by hand.

title: Add a New Lit Project
description: Learn how to integrate Lit with Nx, including setting up applications, configuring build systems, and leveraging Nx features with manual configuration.

# 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 %}
{% tab label="bun" %}
```shell
nx add @nx/node
bun add -D lit http-server
```
{% /tab %}
{% /tabs %}
## Create an Application
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 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
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 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.
