@ngrx/store-devtools

What is @ngrx/store-devtools?

@ngrx/store-devtools is a powerful tool for debugging and inspecting the state of your Angular applications using NgRx. It provides time-travel debugging, state inspection, and action logging, which can significantly enhance the development experience.

What are @ngrx/store-devtools's main functionalities?

Time-Travel Debugging

Time-travel debugging allows you to go back and forth through the state changes in your application. This is useful for understanding how state evolves over time and for identifying where things might have gone wrong.

import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools';
import { environment } from '../environments/environment';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    StoreDevtoolsModule.instrument({
      maxAge: 25, // Retains last 25 states
      logOnly: environment.production, // Restrict extension to log-only mode
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

State Inspection

State inspection allows you to view the current state of your application at any point in time. This can be extremely helpful for debugging and understanding the state of your application.

import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    StoreDevtoolsModule.instrument({
      maxAge: 25,
      logOnly: false,
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}

Action Logging

Action logging provides a log of all the actions that have been dispatched in your application. This can help you understand the sequence of events that led to a particular state.

import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools';

@NgModule({
  imports: [
    StoreDevtoolsModule.instrument({
      maxAge: 25,
      logOnly: false,
    }),
  ],
})
export class AppModule {}
