TypeScript Union Types: Using them in ionic, ngrx/store

TypeScript Union Types

Using them in ionic, ngrx/store

Here at [arraydigital] we’re using the ionic framework to create some of our mobile apps. I spent some time recently adding ngrx/store to one of our ionic projects and it gave me my first opportunity to see union types in the wild.

A union type is one of the advanced types in TypeScript. It describes a value that can be one of several types. So number | string is a type that can be either a number or a string. It is important to remember that a union type value will have only the members that are in common with the rest of the types in the union.

My first meeting with union types was using ngrx/store actions and reducers. Here are some simple actions from one of our ngrx/store applications. In the last line of the module: `export type Actions = LoadActio

The Immutable Fab Four: Strategies for immutable JavaScript

The Immutable Fab Four

Strategies for immutable JavaScript

Immutable data is a concept that I had to deal with while writing my first reducer for ngrx/store. The idea behind immutable data is that it cannot be changed after creation. This simple shift in state management can make applications more simple to build and easier to debug. With a single source of truth you have a contract in hand that will free you of a whole class of problems that plague mutable applications. I’ll share what I’ve learned so far. Keep in mind that these examples stem from my experiences using ngrx/store but are in no way directly tied it.

Let’s start with some state: This state will consist of an object with an array of ids and an entities object that will store one key/value for each id in the ids array.
