I have two angular modules: main and feature:
Main / root module:
@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.forRoot({router: routerReducer}),
EffectsModule.forRoot([...]),
...
],
declarations: [],
...
})
export class AppModule {}
Feature module:
@NgModule({
imports: [
StoreModule.forFeature('feature', {someValue: someValueReducer}),
EffectsModule.forFeature([...]),
...
],
declarations: [],
...
})
export class FeatureModule {}
I need to access 'feature' slice of data in main module to conditionally display / activate application tab based on data stored in feature
module.
(In other words I need a global / shared piece of state accessible by all modules main and any feature module.)
Currently I can't do that since there is no feature
state in main AppState
:
export interface AppState {
router: RouterReducerState<RouterStateUrl>;
}
And typescript indicates error this.store.select('feature')
since there is no feature
key of main store AppState
.
Using selector
: this.store.select(selectFeatureValue)
I am getting runtime error:
export const selectFeatureModule = createFeatureSelector<FeatureState>('feature');
export const selectFeatureValue = createSelector(selectFeatureModule ,
(state: FeatureState) => state.someValue);
I am getting error in main AppComponent:
TypeError: Cannot read property 'someValue' of undefined
In my opinion, that pretty much defeats the purpose of both: lazy loaded modules and lazy loaded stores.
You should probably rethink your design. Its usualy vice versa, that you need main state in your feature module and that's fine since you can't have feature module active without main one but vice versa is a bit odd.
Now, that being said, the main idea of lazy loaded store is that you don't have feature store keys in your main store but they are added afterwards, during the application lifetime as they are needed. So, what you can do is import your feature reducer into main module component where you need it and select from feature reducer directly. But again, its a question if that's something one would want to do. I wouldn't.
I would rethink the design and things i need in main module i would put into main reducer/store.
