Functions
createImmerReducer
(@ngrx/store)
Creates an NgRx reducer, but allows you to mutate state without having to use to spread operator.
- Use it when you want to go Immer all the way
- Caveat, you have to return the state with each
on
method
import { createImmerReducer } from 'ngrx-immer/store';
const todoReducer = createImmerReducer(
{ todos: [] },
on(newTodo, (state, action) => {
state.todos.push({ text: action.todo, completed: false });
return state;
}),
on(completeTodo, (state, action) => {
state.todos[action.index].completed = true;
return state;
}),
);
immerOn
(@ngrx/store)
Creates an NgRx reducer, but allows you to mutate state without having to use to spread operator.
- Use it when you want to go sprinkle a little bit of Immer for more complex cases
import { immerOn } from 'ngrx-immer/store';
const todoReducer = createReducer(
{ todos: [] },
on(newTodo, (state, action) => {
return {
...state,
todos: [...state.todos, action.todo],
};
}),
immerOn(completeTodo, (state, action) => {
state.todos[action.index].completed = true;
}),
);
ImmerComponentStore
(@ngrx/component-store)
Wraps Immer around the Component Store updater
and setState
methods.
import { ImmerComponentStore } from 'ngrx-immer/component-store';
@Injectable()
export class MoviesStore extends ImmerComponentStore<MoviesState> {
constructor() {
super({ movies: [] });
}
readonly addMovie = this.updater((state, movie: Movie) => {
state.movies.push(movie);
});
}
immerPatchState
(@ngrx/signals)
[!IMPORTANT]
Because@ngrx/signals
is in developer preview, theimmerPatchState
function is also in developer preview. It is ready to try, but may change before becoming stable.
Provides an Immer-version of the patchState
function from the @ngrx/signals
package. In addition to partial state objects and updaters that update the state immutably, it accepts updater functions that update the state in a mutable manner. Similar to patchState
, the immerPatchState
function can be used to update the state of both SignalStore and SignalState.
const UserStore = signalStore(
withState({
user: { firstName: 'Konrad', lastName: 'Schultz' },
address: { city: 'Vienna', zip: '1010' },
}),
withMethods((store) => ({
setLastName(lastName: string): void {
immerPatchState(store, (state) => {
state.user.lastName = lastName;
});
},
setCity(city: string): void {
immerPatchState(store, (state) => {
state.address.city = city;
});
},
}))
);
Please note, that the updater function can only mutate a change without returning it or return an immutable state without mutable change.
This one is going to throw a runtime error:
// will throw because of both returning and mutable change
immerPatchState(userStore, (state) => {
state.name.lastname = 'Sanders'; // mutable change
return state; // returning state
});
immerReducer
Inspired by Alex Okrushko, immerReducer
is a reducer method that uses the Immer produce
method.
This method is used by all the methods in ngrx-immer
provides.
