Automate Task Pipelines to Build Before next start

All Next.js projects usually come with these package.json scripts:

package.json
1{ 2 ... 3 "scripts": { 4 ... 5 "build": "next build", 6 "start": "next start" 7 } 8} 9

Running next start will only work if the .next folder is present in the project's root. This folder is created when running next build.

This is a very simple use case of a task pipeline, which defines dependencies among tasks.

In this lesson we're going to create a simple task pipeline such that whenever you run next start, Nx will automatically run next build (or restore it from the cache).
