Meta Reducers
A meta reducer is a higher order reducer that allows you to take action on the global state rather than a state slice. In NGXS, we don't have this concept but you can accomplish this with plugins.
An example of a meta reducer might be to clear the entire state when a user logs out. An example implementation would be:
import { getActionTypeFromInstance } from '@ngxs/store';
export function logoutPlugin(state, action, next) {
// Use the get action type helper to determine the type
if (getActionTypeFromInstance(action) === Logout.type) {
// if we are a logout type, lets erase all the state
state = {};
}
// return the next function with the empty state
return next(state, action);
}
Then we import that like:
import { NgModule } from '@angular/core';
import { NGXS_PLUGINS } from '@ngxs/store';
@NgModule({
imports: [NgxsModule.forRoot([])],
providers: [
{
provide: NGXS_PLUGINS,
useValue: logoutPlugin,
multi: true
}
]
})
export class AppModule {}
Now when we dispatch the logout action it will use our new plugin and erase the state.
