Goals
The main goal of this repository is to provide an up to date example of Angular application following all recent best practices in various areas like:
@ngrx/store- including reducers, actions, selectors@ngrx/effects- for implementation of side effects likehttprequests, logging, notifications,...@ngrx/entity- for CRUD operations@ngrx/router-store- to connect the Angular Router to @ngrx/store@ngrx/store-devtools- to enable a powerful time-travelling debugger.@angular/material- material design component library, theming, ...- routing
- testing of all the above mentioned concepts
- Angular CLI configuration (prod build, budgets, ...)
This repository will also strive to always stay in sync with releases of Angular and the related libraries.
The nature of the repository is also a great match for first time open source contributors who can add
simple features and enhance test coverage, all contributors are more than welcome!
