      "dependsOn": ["build"],
      "command": "docker build -f apps/backend/Dockerfile . -t backend"
    }
  },
  "tags": []
}

after build my app the generated package.json is following:

{
  "name": "backend",
  "version": "0.0.1",
  "main": "./main.js"
}

Now I can't startup the app in my docker container is not found module because the package no have anythings.

Expected Behavior

package should be included in the generated package json
