Top Angular State Management Libraries

Top 5 Projects Compared

ngrx/platform is a comprehensive state management solution for Angular applications, providing reactive extensions for managing application state.

Code Example

import { createAction, createReducer, on } from '@ngrx/store';

const increment = createAction('[Counter] Increment');
const reducer = createReducer(0, on(increment, state => state + 1));

Pros

  • Offers a complete ecosystem for state management, including effects, entity management, and dev tools.
  • Provides strong TypeScript support and type safety throughout the application.
  • Integrates seamlessly with Angular's dependency injection system.

Cons

  • Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler alternatives like storeon or Akita.
  • Requires more boilerplate code than some other state management solutions.
  • Can be overkill for smaller applications or those with simple state requirements.

NgRx Store is a state management library for Angular applications, implementing the Redux pattern.

Code Example

import { createAction, createReducer, on } from '@ngrx/store';

const increment = createAction('[Counter] Increment');
const counterReducer = createReducer(0, on(increment, state => state + 1));

Pros

  • Provides a robust, scalable state management solution for large Angular applications
  • Offers excellent integration with Angular's ecosystem and tooling
  • Includes powerful dev tools for debugging and time-travel debugging

Cons

  • Has a steeper learning curve compared to simpler alternatives like Akita or Storeon
  • Requires more boilerplate code than some other state management solutions
  • May be overkill for smaller applications or simpler use cases

TanStack/form is a lightweight, type-safe form management library for React applications.

Code Example

import { useForm } from '@tanstack/react-form'

const form = useForm({
  defaultValues: { name: '', email: '' },
  onSubmit: values => console.log(values)
})

Pros

  • Offers a simpler API and smaller bundle size compared to more complex state management solutions like ngrx/platform or ngrx/store.
  • Provides excellent TypeScript support and type inference, similar to salesforce/akita.
  • Focuses specifically on form management, making it more specialized than general-purpose state management libraries.

Cons

  • Limited to form state management, unlike more comprehensive solutions like ngrx/platform or ngxs/store.
  • May require additional libraries for global state management, unlike all-in-one solutions.
  • Less established community and ecosystem compared to more mature projects like ngrx/store or salesforce/akita.

Akita is a state management pattern and library for Angular applications, offering a simple and boilerplate-free approach to managing application state.

Code Example

import { Store, StoreConfig } from '@datorama/akita';

@StoreConfig({ name: 'todos' })
export class TodosStore extends Store<TodosState> {
  constructor() {
    super(initialState);
  }
}

Pros

  • Akita provides a more straightforward and less verbose API compared to NgRx, making it easier to learn and use.
  • It offers built-in support for entity management and querying, which can simplify common data operations.
  • Akita has better TypeScript support and type inference compared to some other state management libraries.

Cons

  • Akita has a smaller community and ecosystem compared to more established libraries like NgRx.
  • It may have a steeper learning curve for developers already familiar with Redux-style state management patterns.
  • Akita's documentation and resources are less extensive than those available for more popular alternatives like NgRx or NGXS.

NGXS is a state management pattern and library for Angular applications, providing a simpler alternative to NgRx.

Code Example

@State<string[]>({
  name: 'todos',
  defaults: []
})
@Injectable()
export class TodosState {
  @Action(AddTodo)
  add(ctx: StateContext<string[]>, action: AddTodo) {
    const state = ctx.getState();
    ctx.setState([...state, action.payload]);
  }
}

Pros

  • Simpler API and less boilerplate compared to NgRx/platform and NgRx/store
  • Better TypeScript support and type inference than Storeon
  • More straightforward learning curve than Akita and NgRx

Cons

  • Less mature ecosystem and community compared to NgRx/platform and NgRx/store
  • Fewer advanced features and middleware options than NgRx and Akita
  • Not as lightweight as Storeon for small applications
