Learn 11ty, Lodash and Ngrx-store

As your Angular application grows, it becomes more difficult to manage application state.

NgRx can help with that!

In this course, we will learn how to convert an Angular application from using stateful services into using NgRx.

We will accomplish this by adding a new feature, including building a reducer and actions. We'll also touch on using selectors to query our state, managing collections with NgRx entity, async operations, and hiding implementation details with the facade pattern.

Angular is a development platform for creating applications using modern web standards. Angular includes a wealth of essential features such as mobile gestures, animations, filtering, routing, data binding, security, internationalization, and beautiful UI components. It's extremely modular, lightweight, and easy to learn.

Reactive State Management in Angular with ngrx

Learn how to make flexible customized Twitch Scenes using the static site generator Eleventy (11ty), CSS, and ComfyJS.

Throughout this course, you'll create scenes for preshow, host, and main desktop display streaming purposes. Using ComfyJS, we'll add embedded chat and be able to create responses to chat commands. Finally, we'll see how to actually setup the scenes in OBS to prepare to use them for your stream.

Bonus: you'll learn a bit more about CSS grid layout, and also the "cicada principle" to be able to show the commands randomly across the scene!

Eleventy was created to be a JavaScript alternative to Jekyll. It’s zero-config by default but has flexible configuration options. Eleventy works with your project’s existing directory structure.

Eleventy uses independent template engines. We don’t want to hold your content hostage. If you decide to use something else later, having your content decoupled in this way will make migration easier.

Build Redux Style Applications with Angular, RxJS, and ngrx/store

[Lodash](https://lodash.com/docs/) is a collection of utilities that have become a staple of modern web development. This collection will show you how to re-create its most common methods using simple JavaScript techniques available in any modern web browser. In addition to re-building tools like `_.merge`, `_.get` and `_.debounce` from scratch you will also learn how to replace them completely in some cases with modern syntax such as [optional chaining](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Optional_chaining), [nullish coalescing](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Operators/Nullish_coalescing_operator) and [Object.fromEntries](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Object/fromEntries).

This collection should interest the following groups:
- Those who want to better understand common JavaScript patterns
- Engineers who want to reduce their dependence on Lodash (for performance or other reasons)
- Candidates preparing for a technical job interview (where it is common to be asked how to implement some of these methods).

JavaScript® (often shortened to JS) is a lightweight, interpreted, object-oriented language with first-class functions, most known as the scripting language for Web pages, but used in many non-browser environments as well such as node.js or Apache CouchDB. It is a prototype-based, multi-paradigm scripting language that is dynamic, and supports object-oriented, imperative, and functional programming styles.

Recreating Popular JavaScript Utility Methods from Lodash

Reducers are also often used for changing a single property inside of other reducers. This lesson shows how a type can enter the people reducer, but then the people reducer can use a different type to call the clock reducer and get a value back.

Use a Reducer to Change an Object's Property Inside an Array

This lesson summarizes everything the course has covered and how Angular 2, RxJS, and ngrx/store work together to achive a reactive application.

Review of Angular 2, RxJS, and Reducers from ngrx/store

The scan operator in RxJS is the main key to managing values and states in your stream. Scan behaves just as a reduce function would, but scan is able to collect values from streams over time. This lesson covers using startWith to set the initial accumulator value then using scan to update the value of the clock from the clicks and interval.

lodash

This lesson shows how to refactor your old loops into using a simpler and more powerful lodash-style. We will start by looking at how many people traditionally write JavaScript `for` loops and then talk about the alternate style and benefits that Lodash offers.

Lodash: Refactoring Simple For Loops

While you have multiple streams flowing into your scan operator, you'll need to map each stream to the specific values you need to update your state the way that you want. This lesson covers using the map operator to determine what the click and interval should do when the state is updated.

Map Streams to Values to Affect State

Angular templates use a special Async pipe to be able to render out Observables. This lesson covers the syntax used to create an Observable in Angular and then to render it out in the template.

ngrx/store is a library that simplifies common RxJS patterns for managing state and gives you an easy api to use it within your Angular application. This lesson shows how to convert a common startWith and scan stream into an ngrx Store and reducer.

Use ngrx/store and Reducers for Angular Application State

Angular allows you to pass values from inputs simply by referencing them in the template and passing them into your Subject.next() call. This lesson shows you how to make a number input and pass the value so you can configure how much you want the clock to change.

Pass Template Input Values to Reducers

The components inside of your container components can easily accept Observables. You simply define your custom @Input then use the Async pipe when you pass the Observable in. This lesson walks you through the process of passing an Observable into a Component.

Pass Observables into Components with Async Pipe

Reducers can easily be used inside one another to update related state. This lesson shows how you can use the clock reducer inside of the people reducer to create the time for each new person.

Use Two Reducers Together

RxJS allows you to combine streams in various ways. This lesson shows you how to take a click stream and combine it with a store stream to use a value from the store inside a reducer.

Use a Value from the Store in a Reducer

AngularJS is an open-source JavaScript framework, maintained by Google, that assists with running single-page applications. Its goal is to augment web-based applications with model–view–controller (MVC) capability, in an effort to make both development and testing easier.

Lodash has an enormous amount of utility functions for dealing with collections and objects in javascript. You can use it in your AngularJS applications to "debounce" user input, or add delay between user actions. This is a common technique for text input to hold firing service calls until the user stops typing for a fraction of a second.

Stores can accept as many reducers as you need. This lesson covers adding a second reducer that will be used to control an array of people.

Add a Second Reducer to the Store

While action types allow you tell your reducer what action it should take, the payload is the data that your reducer will use to update the state. This lesson shows you how to pass an action payload along with your action type to update the state.

Dispatch Action Payloads to Reducers

Instead of simply pushing numbers on a timer into the template, now we'll move on to pushing actual Dates. We'll still use the Async pipe, but we'll also add on the Date pipe with some formatting to display the Date just the way we want it.

Render an Observable Date with the Async and  Date Pipes

Imagine if looking at your business logic read as simple as a story from a children's book. That's exactly what we'll cover by learning how to compose small pieces of business logic and also set them up for further composition in the future.

We're showing a list of fictional tweets in a trivial React component created with create-react-app, however the example is not React specific and can be applied to any framework/environment.

Our example will refactor out business logic from a non-composable function to small composable pieces. To accomplish this we'll be using flow, filter and map from lodash/fp, which is included in the regular lodash npm package.

This approach works well in any environment where you're not relying on object references to your original data, as our functional approach creates new collection objects instead of mutating them.

Refactor Business Logic to Composable Functions with Lodash

A reducer needs to know what you want it to do whenever it's called. You do this by passing along an action type then the reducer can switch based on the type to achieve the logic you need. This lesson covers dispatching action types to your reducer to update the state based on that type.
