Easy CRUD actions for your ngxs state

Build Status NPM License

This package is an entity adapter and simplifies CRUD behaviour with just a few lines of setup per state class!

Setup

npm i @ngxs-labs/entity-state

You do not have import any module, just extend your state class, make a super call and you are good to go! The first super parameter is always the state class itself. The second parameter is the key to identify your entities with. The third is an implementation of an IdGenerator (see below).

Example state

export interface ToDo {
  title: string;
  description: string;
  done: boolean;
}

@State<EntityStateModel<ToDo>>({
  name: 'todo',
  defaults: defaultEntityState()
})
export class TodoState extends EntityState<ToDo> {
  constructor() {
    super(TodoState, 'title', IdStrategy.EntityIdGenerator);
  }
}

Example in the integration app!

Actions

There are ready to use Actions for entity-states. Just pass in the targeted state class as the first parameter and then your action's payload.

this.store.dispatch(new SetLoading(TodoState, this.loading));
this.store.dispatch(new UpdateActive(TodoState, { done: true }));

Example in the integration app

ActionShort description
AddAdds a new entity and cannot replace existing entities
CreateOrReplaceGets the entity's ID and will replace entities with same id or else add a new one
UpdateUpdates one or more entities by partial value or function
UpdateAllUpdate all entities by partial value or function
RemoveRemoves entities from the state
RemoveAllRemoves all entities from the state
--------------------
SetActiveTakes an ID and sets it as active
ClearActiveClears the active ID
UpdateActiveUpdates the currently active entity
RemoveActiveRemoves the active entity and clears the ID
--------------------
SetErrorSets the error (Error instance or undefined)
SetLoadingSets the loading state (true or false)
ResetResets the state to default
--------------------
GoToPageGoes to specified page, via index, stepwise or first/last
SetPageSizeSets the page size

Actions that change the entities will update the internal timestamp lastUpdated. You can use one of the existing selectors to see the age of your data.

Selectors

Use predefined Selectors just like you would normally!

@Select(TodoState.entities) toDos$: Observable<ToDo[]>;
@Select(TodoState.active) active$: Observable<ToDo>;

Example in the integration app

SelectorShort description
entitiesAll entities in an array
keysAll entity keys in an array
entitiesMapAll entities in a map
sizeEntity count
active the active entity
activeIdthe active ID
paginatedEntitiesEntities in an array defined by pagination values
nthEntitythe nthEntity by insertion order
latestIdthe ID of the latest entity
latestthe latest entity
loadingthe loading state
errorthe current error
lastUpdatedthe lastUpdated timestamp as Date
agedifference between Date.now() and lastUpdated in ms

IdStrategy

There are 3 different strategies in the IdStrategy namespace available:

The latter will cause errors if you try to add an entity with the same ID. The former two will always generate a new ID.

You can also implement your own strategy by extending IdGenerator and then provide it in the super call.

EntitySelector

The EntitySelector type is used in Actions such as Update or Remove.

export type EntitySelector<T> = string | string[] | ((entity: T) => boolean);
