If you’re an Angular developer, you’re missing out if you’re not using advanced TypeScript features to help you build better code. 

RxJS 7 has shipped! For us Angular developers, it unfortunately did not ship in time for Angular 12.

This post is a continuation from Part 1, where we set up a test project with NgRx and ngrx-forms in our Angular application. For part 2, we will validate our form.

If your Angular application already uses NgRx, you know the value of writing good reducers and using one-way data flow. However, that knowledge may not be enough to keep the biggest form in your app from being a rat’s nest of FormGroups and related logic. Forget keeping components under 50 lines of code - your form logic alone blows past that.

If you've recently made the switch to using Strict Mode for Angular, good job, you're on your way to writing better code and governing a more maintainable codebase! However, your team may encounter new TypeScript "errors" they haven't seen before, like "Property 'myClassMember' has no initializer and is not definitely assigned in the constructor.ts". To find out more about this error and how to resolve it using the Non-null Assertion Operator, check out my post on dev.to here: https://dev.to/bitovi/non-null-assertion-operator-in-angular-g5l

Welcome to part two of my blog on NgRx! In Part One we solved common Angular state management problems using NgRx. In Part Two we’re getting hands-on by building stateful animated GIF gallery using NgRx and The Cat API
