Methods for Implementing State Management
Discover how to implement state management in Angular using several methods such as component decorators, dependency injection, route parameters, and browser storage. Learn the benefits of using Observables, the Redux pattern with RxJs, and the NgRx library for scalable and maintainable applications.
Approaches to state management
There are a few ways we can tackle the issue of how to implement state management within our Angular applications. Some examples of how we could handle state management within an Angular application are given below:
- Manage the passing of state information through
@Inputand@Outputdecorators in our Components, along with Events to send state information between components in the application. - Make use of Services and Dependency Injection to pass state information between Components and other Services.
- We could pass state information through URLs via Route Parameters.
- We can pass data around by storing data in the browser’s local storage.
- Use an Observable-based approach. For example, create Services where the state is stored and accessed through Observables that react to changes in the application.
- Using an RxJs approach based on the Redux pattern (which we will look at soon).
- Use a third-party library like NgRx, which has been designed to solve this problem.
