Change default libs/ apps/ folder layout

I’m opening this issue as a feature request.

Expected Behavior

I want the ability to create and maintain a different folder layout. Right now by default, created apps and libs are being hosted inside apps/ and libs/ folder respectively. I have a small Nx workspace where I want to keep both types inside a packages/ folder. Right now I’m creating them with the default behavior, moving them manually and updating the path references where needed and everything works like a charm. I think it will be cool to have this as a built-in feature. I’ve reviewed the code and identified which changes are needed and willing to make a PR.

is it possible to use an array for appsDir?

i’d love to do something like

"workspaceLayout": {
  "appsDir": ["core-use-case1/clients/**", "core-use-case2/clients/**"], 
  "libsDir": "utils"
}

PS: This would also mean that a a way specify the prefix core-use-case*/clients when adding new apps would be needed

This is already supported in nx.json by using for example:

"workspaceLayout": {
  "appsDir": "projects",
  "libsDir": "packages"
}
