This repo was originally cloned as part of a coding exercise. Its just a fork of Todo MVC, terrible styling and all. My original task was to come in and fix it. I went above and beyond (see below).

• All of the styling for the app is complete and almost all of the HTML markup you'll need is present in the app.component.html file.
• In order to complete this project, you're going to have to have knowledge of Angular, Ngrx, Rxjs, inter-component communication and how to make components re-usable.
• You may not use Ngrx/Data or Ngrx/Entities to complete this project.
• It isn't necessary to write end-to-end tests for your work, but if you choose to write unit tests for your reducer or components, it would be a big plus.
• Your code must pass AOT compilation when running: ng build
• Neatness and organization count - a lot.

• Original Tasks

  • All new Todos are entered at descending, newest to oldest. New Todos are entered at the top.
  • Editing reflects the designs
  • Messages are in place when there are no Todos. Since none were supplied, I proffered my own snarky comments.

• Additional Features and Points of order

  • The service should never dispatch actions. This violates the basic design pattern of Redux. I reconfigured everything to match the basic Ngrx design paradigm
  • I implemented Dexie.js to save Todos to IndexDB. Whats the point in a Todo app if you cant save your tasks for latter? :)
  • I implemented a basic skeleton loading with an 800ms delay to simulate slow network connections or API lag.
  • The page routes based off the current filter.
  • I moved everything from app.component to todos/pages/todos.component. Now the Todos app is a feature module.
  • I wrote a handful of tests for the whole state management side of things. I dont have the time to finish tests for the components or the service.
  • I tried to make things as reactive as possible and avoid subscriptions. I lost the battle in a few spots.
  • I like to organize all my streams in routable components and then pass those streams into "dumb" child components. Thats why all my state streams are in todos/pages/todos.component.

I added a connection to a dummy WebSocket stream that spits back "assigned" todos (Repo: Dummy Todo Stream). It mocks a similar behavior to another person assigning you a task. It nicely demonstrates how Ngrx can be used to handle interaction from other users or 3rd party data streams.
