14 - NgRx Selectors

In this section we examine using selectors in NgRx.

1. Add selector file

• Add a file called index.ts to the +state folder of your auth state lib

libs/auth/src/lib/+state/products.selectors.ts

import { createFeatureSelector, createSelector } from '@ngrx/store';
import { ProductsData } from './products.reducer';

const getProductsState = createFeatureSelector<ProductsData>('products');

const getProducts = createSelector(getProductsState, (state) => state.products);

export const productsQuery = {
  getProducts,
};

• Ensure you have re-exported your publicly available paths in the auth libs index.ts file

libs/auth/index.ts

export * from './lib/+state/auth.actions';
export * from './lib/+state/auth.effects';
export * from './lib/+state/auth.reducer';
export * from './lib/+state/auth.selectors';
export * from './lib/+state/auth.models';
export * from './lib/auth.module';
export { AuthService } from './lib/services/auth/auth.service';
export { AuthGuard } from './lib/guards/auth/auth.guard';
export { AuthState } from './lib/+state/auth.reducer';

2. Use selector in Layout component

libs/layout/src/lib/containers/layout/layout.component.ts

import { Component, OnInit } from '@angular/core';
import { AuthService } from '@demo-app/auth';
import { Observable } from 'rxjs';
import { User } from '@demo-app/data-models';

@Component({
  selector: 'demo-app-layout',
  templateUrl: './layout.component.html',
  styleUrls: ['./layout.component.scss'],
})
export class LayoutComponent implements OnInit {
  user$: Observable<User>;

  constructor(private authService: AuthService) {}

  ngOnInit() {
    this.user$ = this.authService.user$;
  }
}

At this point, the app may not run properly until we update the products state in the next step.
