Day #9 - Signal Store

Signal Store: The Future of Angular State Management

In this talk, we explore Angular’s Signal Store—a cutting-edge tool designed to simplify and enhance state management. If you’ve been grappling with the intricacies of managing reactive state in Angular applications, this presentation is a must-watch. It walks you through the Signal Store features step by step, starting with basic theory and moving into a live coding session.

Why Signal Store?

The Signal Store is a modern state management tool built on Angular’s Signals. Unlike traditional state management libraries, the Signal Store offers:

  • Reactive State as Signals: The state itself is a signal, inheriting all the reactivity benefits Angular Signals provide—immutability, derived values, and more.
  • Simplicity: It leverages Angular Signals’ simplicity but adds robust features for handling complex states.
  • Structure: Signal Store enforces a clean, organized codebase by defining clear places for state, methods, and computed values.
  • Extensibility: Easily extend the Signal Store with custom features or integrate it with other tools like RxJS or global stores.

Key Takeaways

  1. Refactoring to Signal Store:
    Watch as a quiz application, originally using basic signals, is refactored into a structured Signal Store. Step-by-step, methods, state, and derived values are moved into the store, demonstrating the benefits of clean code organization.

  2. Combining RxJS with Signals:
    Learn how to seamlessly integrate RxJS for specific use cases, such as managing async data flows, while retaining the Signal Store’s simplicity.

  3. Extensibility:
    See how reusable features, like a countdown timer, can be abstracted into extensions and plugged into multiple stores.

  4. Performance and Best Practices:
    Understand why Signal Store is efficient, only creating signals on demand, and how to use it effectively in local and global contexts.

What You'll Gain

This session isn’t just theoretical; it’s packed with live coding examples. Whether you’re new to Angular Signals or already familiar, you’ll gain practical knowledge to:

  • Structure your application with Signal Store.
  • Optimize state management for larger applications.
  • Reuse code with extensible features.
  • Transition from traditional state management patterns.
