NgRx Conf’s Premier Sponsor

We also welcome Nrwl as our premier sponsor for NgRx Conf! Nrwl has been a longtime promoter of NgRx as a tool when building large applications in Angular, and we couldn’t be more excited to have them partner with us for NgRx Conf.

With Nrwl, you’ll find a consulting firm that truly enables you to get a deeper understanding and navigate the most nuanced challenges of building software with Angular, React, and other modern Javascript frameworks.

Comprised of former Angular team members, Googlers, and renowned experts, when working with us, you’ll build software better and faster. You can leverage our consulting, training, and engineering, plus open-source tools like Nx to elevate your enterprise’s development practice.

Immutability out of the box

Runtime checks for immutability and serializability were introduced in version 8, to aid developers in maintaining best practices when managing state. Two of these runtime checks, strictStateImmutability, and strictActionImmutability are now enabled by default in development, so developers can be assured that their state following immutable practices out of the box.

There is also a new runtime check for validating that actions are dispatched from within the Angular zone. If you’re dealing with less modern web APIs, such as jQuery, that operate outside the Angular zone, this check helps you catch bugs that would occur because of bypassed Angular change detection.

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    StoreModule.forRoot(reducers, {
      runtimeChecks: {
        strictActionWithinNgZone: true,
      },
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Thanks to Stephen Cooper for contributing to this feature!

Creators syntax is now the default!

The new creators syntax, announced in version 8 is now the default for all schematics in version 9. The new syntax allows you to get up and running quickly with less code, and more type-safety. If you are still using the previous syntax, support for it is also still available.

Read our docs, and check out our example application if you haven’t tried out the new syntax already.

Customizable re-subscriptions for Effects

Also introduced in version 8, was the ability to resubscribe to an observable inside an Effect when an error occurs. In version 9, we limit this behavior to 10 retries, and offer the ability to customize the re-subscription behavior according to your needs.

@NgModule({
  imports: [EffectsModule.forRoot([MovieEffects])],
  providers: [
    {
      provide: EFFECTS_ERROR_HANDLER,
      useValue: customEffectResubscriptionHandler,
    },
    
  ],
})

// adjust the number of retries
const CUSTOM_NUMBER_OF_RETRIES = 100; 

export function customEffectResubscriptionHandler<T extends Action>(
  observable$: Observable<T>,
  errorHandler: CustomErrorHandler
): Observable<T> {
  return defaultEffectsErrorHandler(
    observable$,
    errorHandler,
    CUSTOM_NUMBER_OF_RETRIES
  );
}

Thanks to Zak Henry for contributing to this feature!
