10 Reasons for MiniRx Signal Store

The Angular Renaissance Continues: MiniRx Signal Store

The Angular ecosystem is still experiencing its ongoing revival, and MiniRx is right in the middle of it. The team has introduced a new Signal-based state management library for Angular: MiniRx Signal Store.

• MiniRx Signal Store on GitHub
• MiniRx Signal Store on NPM

MiniRx Signal Store stands out as a compelling state management option for Angular applications, and here are the ten most compelling reasons why:

1. Complete package: MiniRx Signal Store provides three clearly defined state containers right out of the box.
   • Handle global state at scale using the Store (Redux) API
   • Handle global state with minimal code ceremony through Feature Stores
   • Handle local component state with Component Stores
2. Adaptable: You can freely mix all three state containers within the same application. Based on your specific scenario, you pick the container that fits best.
3. Deeply connected: From day one, MiniRx Signal Store was built as a cohesive solution. This creates tight integration across the board:
   • Feature Store runs on top of the Redux Store internally
   • Feature Store state becomes part of the Redux Store's global state object
   • Every Redux Store extension works automatically with Feature Store (for instance, Redux DevTools and ImmutableState)
   • Feature Store and Component Store expose identical APIs
4. Built for contemporary Angular: MiniRx Signal Store leverages modern Angular APIs (like Signal and DestroyRef) and integrates seamlessly with the framework.
5. Aligns with new Angular recommendations: MiniRx Signal Store puts current Angular best practices into action:
   • Signals handle (synchronous) state
   • RxJS handles events and asynchronous operations
6. RxJS and Signals working together: MiniRx Signal Store makes combining RxJS and Signals effortless: for example, connect and rxEffect work with both Signals and Observables seamlessly.
7. Small footprint
8. Expandable: MiniRx Signal Store ships with strong extensions:
   • Immutable State Extension: Enforce immutability on your Signal state to avoid accidental mutations.
   • Redux DevTools Extension: Monitor state and state changes at any point using Redux DevTools (supported by Redux Store and Feature Store).
   • Undo Extension: Revert state changes whenever needed.
   • Logger Extension: Output actions and the resulting state to the JS console.
   • Building custom extensions is straightforward!
9. Object-oriented approach: Developers coming from OOP backgrounds (Java, .NET, ...) will appreciate MiniRx Signal Store. It exposes TypeScript classes that you can extend or instantiate with new.
10. Framework-independent logic: Even though MiniRx Signal Store is an Angular library, the state management code you write is almost entirely framework-agnostic. Signals stay as an internal detail within the Signal Store. As a result, migrating your state layer to the original (RxJS-based) MiniRx Store is straightforward, and that version works in any framework you choose (like Svelte).
