Router

import { NgxsModule } from '@ngxs/store';
import { NgxsReduxDevtoolsPluginModule } 
  from '@ngxs/devtools-plugin';
​
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgxsModule.forRoot([]),
    NgxsReduxDevtoolsPluginModule.forRoot()
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}
src/app.component.ts

Adding DevTools Plugin

import { NgxsModule } from '@ngxs/store';
import { NgxsFormPluginModule } 
  from '@ngxs/form-plugin';
​
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgxsModule.forRoot([]),
    NgxsFormPluginModule.forRoot(),
    NgxsReduxDevtoolsPluginModule.forRoot()
  ]
})
export class AppModule {}
src/app.component.ts

Adding Forms Plugin

​@State({
  name: "app",
  defaults: {
    form: {
      model: undefined,
      dirty: false,
      status: "",
      errors: {}
    }
  }
})
export class AppState {}
src/app.component.ts

Adding initial form state

@Component({
  selector: 'form',
  template: `
    <form ngxsForm="app.form" novalidate
      [formGroup]="form" (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
      <input type="text" formControlName="email" />

export class FormComponent { }
src/app.component.ts

Tracking form changes

import { NgxsModule } from '@ngxs/store';
import { NgxsRouterPluginModule } 
  from '@ngxs/router-plugin';
​
@NgModule({
  imports: [
    NgxsModule.forRoot([]),
    NgxsRouterPluginModule.forRoot()

Advanced NGXS

Todo App

Selectors

{ 
  todos: [{ id: 1, text: 'todo 1', complete: false }],
  currentFilter: "SHOW_ALL"
}

// Filtered Todos
[{ id: 1, text: 'todo 1', complete: false }]
src/app.component.ts

Example: Todos State Selector

{ 
  todos: [{ id: 1, text: 'todo 1', complete: false }],
  currentFilter: "SHOW_COMPLETED"
}

// Filtered Todos
[]
import { FilterState } from '../filter/filter.state';

@State<Todo[]>({ name: 'todos', defaults: [] })
export class TodosState {
  @Selector([FilterState]) static todos(state, currentFilter) {
    let t = state.slice().reverse();
    switch (currentFilter) {
      case 'SHOW_ACTIVE': return t.filter(t => !t.completed);
      case 'SHOW_COMPLETED': return t.filter(t => t.completed);
      case 'SHOW_ALL':
      default: return t;
    };
  }
}

NGXS: Redux implemented in 2018

In this talk, we are going to look into NGXS, a new State Management library released earlier this year. We will introduce its main concepts and cover all the good stuff up to v3.1 release: state/actions life cycle, advanced selectors, snapshots, plugins and more!
