A small library that provides the base classes for for implementing @ngrx actions and reducers with ts-enums
@ngrx/store is a very powerful utility for managing the state of Angular apps, but some developers have criticized the example app for containing too much boilerplate (particularly in the action classes) and for having large switch statements in the reducers. ngrx-example-app-enums is a fork of the example app that uses ts-enums to encapsulate the actions and reducers, thereby reducing boilerplate and hiding the switch statement from view.
This library builds on ts-enums to provide just the base files that ngrx-example-app-enums uses so that they can be used separately in your apps.
Install:
npm install ngrx-enums
These examples are included in a test.
import {ActionEnum, ActionEnumValue} from '../src/action-enum';
class LayoutAction<T> extends ActionEnumValue<T> {
constructor(name: string) {
super(name);
}
}
class LayoutActionEnumType extends ActionEnum<LayoutAction<any>> {
OPEN_SIDENAV = new LayoutAction<void>('[Layout] Open Sidenav');
OPEN_SIDENAV_ALSO = new LayoutAction<void>('[Layout] Open Sidenav Also');
SET_SIDENAV = new LayoutAction<boolean>('[Layout] Set Sidenav');
constructor() {
super();
this.initEnum('layoutActions');
}

Some users get an error that looks something like this when compiling:
ERROR in Error encountered resolving symbol values statically. Calling function 'ɵmakeDecorator', function calls are not supported. Consider replacing the function or lambda with a reference to an exported function, resolving symbol Injectable...
If you get this error, you might be able to fix the problem by adding a path of
"@angular/*": ["../node_modules/@angular/*"]
to yourtsconfig.app.json
file (more information).
