API

getComponentStateSelectors

The getComponentStateSelectors function returns an object that contains state selectors for the passed ComponentStore. The name of each generated selector will be equal to the name of the state property with the $ suffix.

Usage Notes

import { ComponentStore } from '@ngrx/component-store';
import { getComponentStateSelectors } from '@rx-mind/component-store-helpers';

interface UsersState {
  users: User[];
  isLoading: boolean;
  selectedUserId: string | null;
}

const initialState: UsersState = {
  users: [],
  isLoading: false,
  selectedUserId: null,
};

@Injectable()
export class UsersStore extends ComponentStore<UsersState> {
  private readonly selectors = getComponentStateSelectors(this);

  readonly vm$ = this.select(
    this.selectors.users$,
    this.selectors.isLoading$,
    this.selectors.selectedUserId$,
    (users, isLoading, selectedId) => ({
      users,
      isLoading,
      selectedUser: users.find((user) => user.id === selectedId) ?? null,
    })
  );

  constructor() {
    super(initialState);
  }
}

Restrictions

The getComponentStateSelectors function cannot be used for ComponentStore whose state contains optional properties. This can be solved by using | null or | undefined for nullish state properties.

Before:

interface UsersState {
  users: User[];
  selectedUserId?: string;
}

const initialState: UsersState = {
  users: [],
};

After:

interface UsersState {
  users: User[];
  selectedUserId: string | null;
  // or selectedUserId: string | undefined;
}

const initialState: UsersState = {
  users: [],
  selectedUserId: null,
  // or selectedUserId: undefined,
};

Limitations

The getComponentStateSelectors function cannot be used for ComponentStore whose state is initialized lazily.

@Injectable()
export class UsersStore extends ComponentStore<UsersState> {
  // this will throw an error because the state is not initialized on `UsersStore` initialization
  readonly selectors = getComponentStateSelectors(this);

  constructor() {
    // initial state is not passed to the parent constructor
    super();
  }
}
