Links to the current documentation for ngrx 4.x
The sections below cover the changes between the ngrx projects migrating from V1.x/2.x to V4.
@ngrx/core
@ngrx/store
@ngrx/effects
@ngrx/router-store
@ngrx/store-devtools
You need to have the latest versions of TypeScript and RxJS to use ngrx V4 libraries.
TypeScript 2.4.x
RxJS 5.4.x
@ngrx/core is no longer needed, and can conflict with @ngrx/store. You should remove it from your project.
BEFORE:
import { compose } from '@ngrx/core/compose';
AFTER:
import { compose } from '@ngrx/store';
The payload
property has been removed from the Action
interface. It was a source of type-safety
issues, especially when used with @ngrx/effects
. If your interface/class has a payload, you need to provide
the type.
BEFORE:
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import { Action } from '@ngrx/store';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { Effect, Actions } from '@ngrx/effects';
@Injectable()
export class MyEffects {
@Effect() someEffect$: Observable<Action> = this.actions$.ofType(UserActions.LOGIN)
.map(action => action.payload)
.map(() => new AnotherAction())
constructor(private actions$: Actions) {}
}
AFTER:
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import { Action } from '@ngrx/store';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs/Observable';
import { Effect, Actions } from '@ngrx/effects';
@Injectable()
export class MyEffects {
@Effect() someEffect$: Observable<Action> = this.actions$.ofType(UserActions.LOGIN)
.map((action: UserActions.Login) => action.payload)
.map(() => new AnotherAction())
constructor(private actions$: Actions) {}
}
If you prefer to keep the payload
interface property, you can provide your own parameterized version.
export interface ActionWithPayload<T> extends Action {
payload: T;
}
And if you need an unsafe version to help with transition.
export interface UnsafeAction extends Action {
payload?: any;
}
Previously to be AOT compatible, it was required to pass a function to the provideStore
method to compose the reducers into one root reducer. The initialState
was also provided to the method as an object in the second argument.
BEFORE:
reducers/index.ts
const reducers = {
auth: fromAuth.reducer,
layout: fromLayout.reducer
};
const rootReducer = combineReducers(reducers);
export function reducer(state: any, action: any) {
return rootReducer(state, action);
}
app.module.ts
import { StoreModule } from '@ngrx/store';
import { reducer } from './reducers';
@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.provideStore(reducer, {
auth: {
loggedIn: true
}
})
]
})
export class AppModule {}
This has been simplified to only require a map of reducers that will be composed together by the library. The second argument is a configuration object where you provide the initialState
.
AFTER:
reducers/index.ts
import { ActionReducerMap } from '@ngrx/store';
export interface State {
auth: fromAuth.State;
layout: fromLayout.State;
}
export const reducers: ActionReducerMap<State> = {
auth: fromAuth.reducer,
layout: fromLayout.reducer
};
app.module.ts
import { StoreModule } from '@ngrx/store';
import { reducers } from './reducers';
@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.forRoot(reducers, {
initialState: {
auth: {
loggedIn: true
}
}
})
]
})
export class AppModule {}
BEFORE:
app.module.ts
@NgModule({
imports: [
EffectsModule.run(SourceA),
EffectsModule.run(SourceB),
]
})
export class AppModule { }
AFTER:
The EffectsModule.forRoot
method is required in your root AppModule
. Provide an empty array
if you don't need to register any root-level effects.
app.module.ts
@NgModule({
imports: [
EffectsModule.forRoot([
SourceA,
SourceB,
SourceC,
])
]
})
export class AppModule { }
Import EffectsModule.forFeature
in any NgModule, whether be the AppModule
, or a feature module.
feature.module.ts
@NgModule({
imports: [
EffectsModule.forFeature([
FeatureSourceA,
FeatureSourceB,
FeatureSourceC,
])
]
})
export class FeatureModule { }
The @ngrx/store/init
action now fires prior to effects starting. Use defer() for the same behaviour.
BEFORE:
app.effects.ts
import { Dispatcher, Action } from '@ngrx/store';
import { Actions, Effect } from '@ngrx/effects';
import * as auth from '../actions/auth.actions';
@Injectable()
export class AppEffects {
@Effect()
init$: Observable<Action> = this.actions$
.ofType(Dispatcher.INIT)
.switchMap(action => {
return of(new auth.LoginAction());
});
constructor(private actions$: Actions) { }
}
AFTER:
app.effects.ts
import { Action } from '@ngrx/store';
import { Actions, Effect } from '@ngrx/effects';
import { defer } from 'rxjs/observable/defer';
import * as auth from '../actions/auth.actions';
@Injectable()
export class AppEffects {
@Effect()
init$: Observable<Action> = defer(() => {
return of(new auth.LoginAction());
});
constructor(private actions$: Actions) { }
}
BEFORE:
import { EffectsTestingModule, EffectsRunner } from '@ngrx/effects/testing';
import { MyEffects } from './my-effects';
describe('My Effects', () => {
let effects: MyEffects;
let runner: EffectsRunner;
beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
imports: [
EffectsTestingModule
],
providers: [
MyEffects,
// other providers
],
});
effects = TestBed.get(MyEffects);
runner = TestBed.get(EffectsRunner);
});
it('should work', () => {
runner.queue(SomeAction);
effects.someSource$.subscribe(result => {
expect(result).toBe(AnotherAction);
});
});
});
AFTER:
import { TestBed } from '@angular/core/testing';
import { provideMockActions } from '@ngrx/effects/testing';
import { hot, cold } from 'jasmine-marbles';
import { MyEffects } from './my-effects';
import { ReplaySubject } from 'rxjs/ReplaySubject';
describe('My Effects', () => {
let effects: MyEffects;
let actions: Observable<any>;
beforeEach(() => {
TestBed.configureTestingModule({
providers: [
MyEffects,
provideMockActions(() => actions),
// other providers
],
});
effects = TestBed.get(MyEffects);
});
it('should work', () => {
actions = hot('--a-', { a: SomeAction, ... });
const expected = cold('--b', { b: AnotherAction });
expect(effects.someSource$).toBeObservable(expected);
});
it('should work also', () => {
actions = new ReplaySubject(1);
actions.next(SomeAction);
effects.someSource$.subscribe(result => {
expect(result).toBe(AnotherAction);
});
});
});
BEFORE:
reducers/index.ts
import * as fromRouter from '@ngrx/router-store';
export interface State {
router: fromRouter.RouterState;
}
const reducers = {
router: fromRouter.routerReducer
};
const rootReducer = combineReducers(reducers);
export function reducer(state: any, action: any) {
return rootReducer(state, action);
}
app.module.ts
import { RouterModule } from '@angular/router';
import { RouterStoreModule } from '@ngrx/router-store';
import { reducer } from './reducers';
@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.provideStore(reducer),
RouterModule.forRoot([
// some routes
])
RouterStoreModule.connectRouter()
]
})
export class AppModule {}
AFTER:
reducers/index.ts
import * as fromRouter from '@ngrx/router-store';
export interface State {
routerReducer: fromRouter.RouterReducerState;
}
export const reducers = {
routerReducer: fromRouter.routerReducer
};
app.module.ts
import { StoreRouterConnectingModule } from '@ngrx/router-store';
import { reducers } from './reducers';
@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.forRoot(reducers),
RouterModule.forRoot([
// some routes
]),
StoreRouterConnectingModule
]
})
export class AppModule {}
Navigation actions are not provided as part of the V4 package. You provide your own
custom navigation actions that use the Router
within effects to navigate.
BEFORE:
import { go, back, forward } from '@ngrx/router-store';
store.dispatch(go(['/path', { routeParam: 1 }], { page: 1 }, { replaceUrl: false }));
store.dispatch(back());
store.dispatch(forward());
AFTER:
import { Action } from '@ngrx/store';
import { NavigationExtras } from '@angular/router';
export const GO = '[Router] Go';
export const BACK = '[Router] Back';
export const FORWARD = '[Router] Forward';
export class Go implements Action {
readonly type = GO;
constructor(public payload: {
path: any[];
query?: object;
extras?: NavigationExtras;
}) {}
}
export class Back implements Action {
readonly type = BACK;
}
export class Forward implements Action {
readonly type = FORWARD;
}
export type Actions
= Go
| Back
| Forward;
import * as RouterActions from './actions/router';
store.dispatch(new RouterActions.Go({
path: ['/path', { routeParam: 1 }],
query: { page: 1 },
extras: { replaceUrl: false }
});
store.dispatch(new RouterActions.Back());
store.dispatch(new RouterActions.Forward());
import 'rxjs/add/operator/do';
import 'rxjs/add/operator/map';
import { Injectable } from '@angular/core';
import { Router } from '@angular/router';
import { Location } from '@angular/common';
import { Effect, Actions } from '@ngrx/effects';
import * as RouterActions from './actions/router';
@Injectable()
export class RouterEffects {
@Effect({ dispatch: false })
navigate$ = this.actions$.ofType(RouterActions.GO)
.map((action: RouterActions.Go) => action.payload)
.do(({ path, query: queryParams, extras})
=> this.router.navigate(path, { queryParams, ...extras }));
@Effect({ dispatch: false })
navigateBack$ = this.actions$.ofType(RouterActions.BACK)
.do(() => this.location.back());
@Effect({ dispatch: false })
navigateForward$ = this.actions$.ofType(RouterActions.FORWARD)
.do(() => this.location.forward());
constructor(
private actions$: Actions,
private router: Router,
private location: Location
) {}
}
NOTE: store-devtools currently causes severe performance problems when used with router-store. We are working to fix this, but for now, avoid using them together.
BEFORE:
app.module.ts
import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools';
@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreDevtoolsModule.instrumentStore({ maxAge: 50 }),
// OR
StoreDevtoolsModule.instrumentOnlyWithExtension({
maxAge: 50
})
]
})
export class AppModule {}
AFTER:
app.module.ts
import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools';
import { environment } from '../environments/environment'; // Angular CLI environment
@NgModule({
imports: [
!environment.production ? StoreDevtoolsModule.instrument({ maxAge: 50 }) : []
]
})
export class AppModule {}
