[Anuglar & NgRx] StoreRouterConnectingModule

Always treat Router as the source of truth

When we use Ngrx, we can see that we will use a "StoreRouterConnectingModule" from the example app.

What it does, is that, it connects router state to store, 

It will set up the router in such a way that right after the URL gets parsed and the future router state gets created, the router will dispatch a RouterAction

Check the post.

Code example:

class TalksEffects {
  @Effect() navigateToTalks = this.actions.ofType(ROUTER_NAVIGATION).
    map(firstSegment).
    filter(s => s.routeConfig.path === "talks").
    switchMap((r: ActivatedRouteSnapshot) => {
      const filters = createFilters(r.params);
      return this.backend.findTalks(filters)
                         .map(resp => ({type: 'TALKS_UPDATED', payload: {...resp, filters}}));
    }).catch(e => {
      console.log('Network error', e);
      return of();
    });

}

We can listen for "ROUTER_NAVATION" event, filter though the path, get the activated route snapshot, then snyc Router URL with BE.
