Description

@rx-angular/state is a library designed to help developers effectively manage component-level state in Angular.
It offers a lightweight and intuitive API and automatic subscription handling, making it a perfect solution for handling state in any Angular component, service or directive.
This library offers unique features such as merging global state into local state, shared state selections, subscription-free interaction, and integration with imperative functions like component lifecycle and HostBindings.
It is an ideal alternative or complimentary library to global state management solutions like Akita, NgRx, and NgXs.

Installation

``
npm install @rx-angular/state
`

Usage

$3

The new functional creation API lets you create and configure RxState in only one place.

`ts
import { rxState } from '@rx-angular/state';
import { RxFor } from '@rx-angular/template/for';

@Component({
template: ,
imports: [RxFor],
})
export class MovieListComponent {
private movieResource = inject(MovieResource);

private state = rxState<{ movies: Movie[] }>(({ set, connect }) => {
// set initial state
set({ movies: [] });
// connect data source to state
connect('movies', this.movieResource.fetchMovies());
});

// select a property for the template to consume as an observable
movies$ = this.state.select('movies');
// select a property for the template to consume as a signal
movies = this.state.signal('movies');
}
`

The functional approach will be the new default approach for newer versions.

Read the Migration Guide for a migration guide explaining how to upgrade your codebase to the new API.

Local Provider: Use RxState as a local provider in your component to make use of Angular's Dependency Injection.

With the new inject method:

`ts
@Component({
/.../
providers: [RxState],
})
export class RxStateInjectionComponent {
private state: RxState<{ foo: string }> = inject(RxState);

state$ = this.state.select();
}
`

With constructor based injection:

`ts
@Component({
/.../
providers: [RxState],
})
export class RxStateInjectionComponent {
state$ = this.state.select();

constructor(private state: RxState<{ foo: string }>) {}
}
`

Inheritance: Use RxState by extending it in your component.

`ts
@Component({
/.../
})
export class RxStateInheritanceClass extends RxState<{ foo: string }> {
value$ = this.select();
}
`

Create composable action streams for user interaction and backend communication with a minimal memory footprint.

$3

Simplify data structures management. Create, modify, convert arrays and objects with ease.

$3

Enforce best practices for building reactive, performant, and Zone-less Angular applications.

$3

Optimize state selections and data transfer, ensure only the necessary data is transferred.

Version Compatibility

| RxAngular | Angular |
|-----------|------------|
| ^18.0.0 | ^18.0.0 |
| ^17.0.0 | ^17.0.0 |
