Learn Mongoose, Ngrx and Svgo

Very (very) quick and simple start to using [NgRx](https://ngrx.io/).

RxJS powered state management for Angular applications, inspired by Redux.

In this course, we will dive into a number of different ways we can create, optimize and integrate an SVG icon set. There are pros and cons to each method, so we’ll dissect each approach so you can make an informed decision for your project. We will learn how to use build tools to automate the process of creating, manipulating and optimizing icons. We’ll take a look at how to use CSS to manipulate styles on an SVG and even how to integrate your SVG icons in a React project.

Scalable Vector Graphics (SVG) is an XML-based vector image format for two-dimensional graphics with support for interactivity and animation. The SVG specification is an open standard developed by the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) since 1999. SVG images and their behaviors are defined in XML text files.

Express is a minimal and flexible Node.js web application framework that provides a robust set of features for web and mobile applications.

Mongoose allows you to easily select resources by ID from your MongoDB. This is an important aspect to creating an API.

Just like a bitmap image, you can compress an SVG by removing various pieces of code that aren’t necessary to it rendering properly. This reduces file size & download time, ultimately leading to a faster page load speed. You’ll learn how to automate the process of compressing your SVGs using `svgo` in the command line.

For a full list of options and plugins available to use with `svgo`, [check out their documentation](https://github.com/svg/svgo).

Note: This lesson assumes you have `npm` installed.

Optimize SVGs for Better Performance using svgo

In this lesson, we’ll explore the process of combining all of your SVG icons into one SVG sprite, to be included directly into markup. We’ll use the command line, along with the `svgo` and `svg-sprite-generator` npm packages to automate the process of compressing the SVGs and creating the sprite.

_Note:_ This lesson assumes you have `npm` installed.

Combine Multiple SVGs into an SVG Sprite

In this lesson, we see how to use the Angular CLI's `ng add` command to add NgRx to a project. [Check out the official docs](https://ngrx.io/guide/store/install) to learn more.

In this lesson, you'll learn how to install the `@ngrx/schematics` package using `ng add`. This command will also make these schematics your default collection! Read more about NgRx schematics [in the official docs](https://ngrx.io/guide/schematics).

Mongoose provides a straight-forward, schema-based solution to model your application data. It includes built-in type casting, validation, query building, business logic hooks and more, out of the box.

One of the great things about NoSQL databases is that you do not have to decide on your data schema while developing. As you get closer to production though, you'll often want to more clearly define the shape of the data you are working with.

This lesson will focus on creating the checkbox styles for both the default and checked state. We'll make sure our styles are accessible and able to use our theme system.

We'll get started by adding an inline SVG to our input which we can style. I'll give you a tour of what is happening with the SVG and show you how to display it in the checkbox by providing a width. From there we will set the default state of the SVG to a `scale(0)` and set up a transition so when the checkbox is clicked to scale the SVG to 1.
