@ngrx/store, @ngrx/effects, @ngrx/entity, @ngrx/signals

API Changes

• NEW: NgRx Signal Store — Modern, lightweight state management with Signals API, reducing boilerplate significantly source
• NEW: Functional Effects — Modern approach to creating effects using functional programming patterns
• NEW:

  withEntities

  — Entity management for Signal Store, simplifies CRUD operations on collections
• NEW:

  @ngrx/data

  — Simplifies entity CRUD operations with automatic HTTP integration
• DEPRECATED: Classic NgRx patterns — Consider migrating to Signal Store for new projects

Best Practices

• Use NgRx Signal Store for new projects — Combines NgRx structure with Signals performance

import { signalStore, withState, withMethods, withHooks } from '@ngrx/signals';

export const AuthStore = signalStore(
  withState({ user: null, isAuthenticated: false }),
  withMethods((store, authService = inject(AuthService)) => ({
    login(credentials: Credentials) {
      authService.login(credentials).pipe(
        tap(user => store.user.set(user))
      ).subscribe();
    }
  })),
  withHooks({
    onInit() {
      // Initialize store
    }
  })
);

• Use Entity Adapter for collections — Simplifies CRUD operations on entity collections

import { createEntityAdapter, EntityState } from '@ngrx/entity';

export interface Product extends EntityState<Product> {
  // Additional state properties
}

export const adapter = createEntityAdapter<Product>({
  selectId: (product) => product.id
});

• Keep reducers pure and synchronous — Never perform async operations in reducers
• Use Effects for side effects — Handle HTTP calls, navigation, and other async operations in effects
• Use strongly typed actions — Create action groups for better type safety
• Normalize state for complex data — Store entities in dictionaries indexed by ID
• Use memoized selectors — Prevent unnecessary re-computations
• Use

  ChangeDetectionStrategy.OnPush

  — Work well with reactive state
