ng2-storeService

StoreService to use ngrx + Immutable with ease and respecting Angular2 philosophy.

Installation

SystemJS

Add this line to your SystemJS configuration:

'ng2-storeservice': 'node_modules/ng2-storeservice'

Webpack

Nothing special to do.

Bootstrap

Add StoreService to your providers:

...
import { StoreService } from 'ng2-storeservice';

...

bootstrap(App, [
    ...
    StoreService,
    ...
]);

Usage

HTML

If you use ngrx, it's probable you're using async transform to use Observables from RxJS.

For example:

<ul>
    <todos-item *ngFor="let todo of (todos | async)" [todo]="todo" (checkChange)="updateTodo($event)"></todos-item>
</ul>

Nothing to change here

Service

This is how your service should looks like:

import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { StoreService } from '../../shared/services';
import { ADD_TODO, CHECK_TODO } from './todos.reducer';

@Injectable()
export class TodosService {
  constructor(public store: StoreService) {
  }

  getTodos() {
      return this.store.retrieve('todos.list');
  }

  addTodo(todo: String) {
    this.store.dispatch(ADD_TODO, { id: 1, value: 'Foo', checked: false });
  }

}

First of all, inject the StoreService with public store: StoreService.

Then you will have functions that can either retrieve data from the store, or affect it with dispatch.

Retrieving

There is automatic integration with ImmutableJS. If your object is Immutable, it will .toJS() it.

Example:

this.store.retrieve('path.to.part.of.your.state');

Signature:

retrieve(path: String): Observable

Dispatching

This is simply a wrapper over ngrx's dispatch.

Example:

this.store.dispatch(ADD_TODO, { id: 1, value: 'Foo', checked: false });

Signature:

dispatch(type: any, payload: Object): void

Usage with Immutable structures

If you use Immutable structures, you might use the setTransformFunction that will be called on the first object retrieved (the store module). Must-have if you use any Immutable library.

Example with Immutable.JS:

StoreService.setTransformFunction(obj => obj.toJS());

Signature:

static setTransformFunction(callback: Function): void
