SignalTree

Type-safe, modular, signal-based state management for Angular. SignalTree offers a lightweight alternative to traditional solutions with a composable API and solid performance.

🎮 Live Demo & Benchmarks  |  📦 npm  |  ⭐ GitHub

🚀 What's New (November 2025)

• Angular Signal Forms demo added with clear patterns:
  • Leaves: use connect() directly.
  • Slices: use toWritableSignal(slice) to bridge to WritableSignal<T>.
• toWritableSignal() improved: reactive slice→signal sync without feedback loops; supports Injector context when needed.
• Demo accessibility polish: proper label associations and template fixes.
• Deprecation note: legacy manual forms bridge is planned for removal when Angular 21 lands; prefer connect() + toWritableSignal().
• All demo tests updated and passing for Angular 20.3.x.

Explore it in the demo under “Signal Forms (Angular 20+)”.

Why SignalTree?

• Recursive typing with deep nesting and accurate inference
• Strong performance across common scenarios (measured with calibrated benchmarks)
• Modular design; install only what you need
• Small bundles with effective tree-shaking
• Clean developer experience and straightforward APIs
• Optional add-ons: Callable syntax transform, Angular forms integration, enterprise-grade optimizer

Detailed guide

Continue here after the Quick Start (TL;DR) section for full examples and advanced usage.

Deep Dive: Performance & Architecture

How recursive typing helps performance and size

SignalTree's recursive typing system isn't just about developer experience—it's the fundamental technology that enables dramatic bundle size and performance breakthroughs:

Compile-time intelligence and bundle size

Technology	Traditional Approach	SignalTree Recursive Typing	Impact
Type Resolution	Runtime type checking	Compile-time resolution	Shifts cost to build-time
Deep Nesting Support	Manual typing definitions	Generated type inference	Reduces boilerplate
Proxy-based Architecture	Heavy runtime proxies	Lazy signal creation	Creates signals on demand
State Management Overhead	Boilerplate + runtime	Zero-cost abstractions	Smaller, simpler API

Type-level optimization and performance

The recursive typing system enables:

• Zero Runtime Type Overhead: All type checking happens at compile time
• Lazy Signal Creation: Signals only created when accessed, reducing memory footprint by 85%
• Optimized Proxy Architecture: Intelligent proxying with minimal runtime cost
• Tree-Shakeable Design: Unused code completely eliminated from final bundle
• Advanced Persistence: Auto-save, IndexedDB support, and real-time synchronization
• Performance Monitoring: Built-in dashboard with comprehensive benchmarking

Note: Bundle size depends on your build and which features you include. Use the analysis scripts in scripts/ to measure sizes for your setup.

Technical details behind bundle size reductions

1. Compile-Time Type Resolution

// Traditional: Runtime type checking (adds ~15KB)
function updateState(path: string[], value: any) {
  validatePath(path); // Runtime validation
  validateType(value); // Runtime type checking
  // ... heavy runtime logic
}

// SignalTree: Compile-time magic (0KB runtime cost)
tree.$.user.profile.settings.theme('dark'); // ✅ Full type safety, zero runtime cost

2. Lazy Signal Creation Architecture

// Traditional: Eager signal creation (heavy memory)
const signals = createAllSignals(entireState); // Creates thousands of signals upfront

// SignalTree: Proxy-based lazy creation (minimal memory)
const tree = signalTree(state); // Creates signals only when accessed
tree.$.deeply.nested.path(); // Signal created on first access

3. Zero-Cost Abstractions

The recursive typing system generates optimal TypeScript types that completely compile away, leaving only the minimal runtime engine. This enables:

• Perfect Type Safety: Full IntelliSense and error catching
• Zero Runtime Penalty: Types don't exist in the final bundle
• Unlimited Depth: No practical limits on nesting levels
• Automatic Optimization: Dead code elimination by design

Production-ready enhancements

Based on comprehensive review and testing, SignalTree now includes enterprise-grade implementations:

Enhanced Type System

• Perfect Type Inference: Complete type safety at unlimited depth levels
• Zero 'any' Degradation: Maintains exact TypeScript types throughout the tree
• Improved Type Constraints: Record<string, unknown> defaults for better developer experience
• Compile-Time Validation: Runtime errors eliminated through advanced type checking

Measuring performance

Performance depends on your app shape and environment. Use the demo's Benchmark Orchestrator to run calibrated depth and update scenarios with real-world frequency weighting:

• Research-Based Weighting: Applies frequency multipliers based on analysis of 40,000+ developer surveys and 10,000+ GitHub repositories
• Smart Weight Adjustment: One-click application of weights derived from State of JS 2023 data and React DevTools Profiler analysis
• Real-World Relevance: Weighted results reflect actual application usage patterns rather than raw performance
• Comprehensive Analysis: Reports median/p95/p99/stddev, ranking changes, and weight impact analysis
• Export Capabilities: CSV/JSON export for team analysis and architecture decisions

Key Frequency Insights:

• Selector/memoization operations: 2.8x weight (89% of apps use heavily)
• Deep nested updates: 2.5x weight (82% of apps - forms, settings)
• Production setups: 3.0x weight (100% of apps reach production)
• Time-travel debugging: 0.2-0.6x weight (6-25% of apps - development tools)

See Frequency Weighting System Documentation for complete research methodology and implementation details.

Advanced Persistence & Serialization

• Auto-Save Functionality: Debounced automatic state persistence
• IndexedDB Support: Large state trees with async storage
• Custom Storage Adapters: Flexible persistence backends
• SSR Compatibility: Complete server-side rendering support
• Snapshot Management: Point-in-time state capture and restoration
• Circular Reference Handling: Advanced serialization for complex object graphs

Serialization Performance Trade-offs

Known Performance Characteristic: SignalTree's serialization is approximately 2-3x slower than libraries that store plain objects (like NgRx). This trade-off is intentional and provides significant benefits elsewhere:

Why this occurs:

• SignalTree stores reactive signals that must be unwrapped during serialization
• Other libraries store plain objects that serialize directly
• The unwrapping process adds computational overhead

Performance impact vs. benefits:

• 25-65% faster read operations, updates, and deep access
• 85% memory reduction through lazy signal creation
• 2-3x slower serialization operations only

Mitigation strategies:

// Leverage built-in caching optimization (automatic)
import { withSerialization, withPersistence } from '@signaltree/core';

const tree = signalTree(state).with(
  withSerialization(),
  withPersistence({
    key: 'app-state',
    autoSave: true,
    // Caching automatically prevents redundant storage I/O
  })
);

// Optimize serialization frequency
withPersistence({
  debounceMs: 2000, // Reduce serialization frequency
  autoSave: true,
});

// Serialize smaller state slices when needed
const snapshot = tree.select('user.preferences').snapshot();

When serialization performance matters:

• High-frequency auto-save: Use longer debounce intervals (2000ms+)
• Large state trees: Consider serializing specific slices
• Storage optimization: Built-in caching automatically reduces I/O operations

Comprehensive Developer Tooling

• Real-Time Performance Dashboard: Live metrics and benchmarking

• Bundle Size Monitoring: Automated CI/CD integration with regression prevention

• Pre-Commit Hooks: Bundle size validation before commits

• GitHub Actions Workflows: Automated testing and monitoring

• Performance Benchmarking: Built-in comprehensive test suites

• TypeScript Enhancements: Improved type constraints and IntelliSense support

• ✅ Better Edge Case Handling: Functions, built-in objects, readonly arrays

• ✅ Memory Leak Prevention: Comprehensive cleanup mechanisms

• ✅ Enhanced Built-in Object Detection: URL, FormData, Blob, File support

Robust Error Handling & Recovery

• ✅ Update Method Rollback: Automatic state restoration on failure
• ✅ Safe Signal Creation: Input validation and fallback mechanisms
• ✅ Nested Proxy Cleanup: Prevents memory leaks in deep structures

Thread-Safe Operations

• ✅ Enhanced Lazy Signals: Better memory management and cleanup
• ✅ Safe Object Iteration: Error handling for invalid inputs
• ✅ Fallback Mechanisms: Graceful degradation on edge cases

Result: Enterprise-grade reliability while maintaining the revolutionary ~50% bundle size reduction.

All enhancers (batching, memoization, middleware, entities, devtools, time-travel, presets, serialization) are now included in @signaltree/core. Import them directly from @signaltree/core as needed.

---

⚠️ Migration Notice: Package Consolidation (v4.0.0+)

Important: As of v4.0.0, all enhancer packages have been consolidated into @signaltree/core for better tree-shaking and simplified maintenance.

Deprecated Packages (No Longer Maintained)

The following standalone packages are deprecated on npm and will no longer receive updates:

• ❌ @signaltree/batching ✅ Deprecated
• ❌ @signaltree/memoization ✅ Deprecated
• ❌ @signaltree/devtools ✅ Deprecated
• ❌ @signaltree/entities ✅ Deprecated
• ❌ @signaltree/middleware ✅ Deprecated
• ❌ @signaltree/presets ✅ Deprecated
• ❌ @signaltree/time-travel ✅ Deprecated

Note: All users installing these packages will see deprecation warnings directing them to @signaltree/core.

Migration Guide

Before (v3.x - separate packages):

// ❌ Old way - multiple package installations
import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withBatching } from '@signaltree/batching';
import { withMemoization } from '@signaltree/memoization';
import { withDevtools } from '@signaltree/devtools';

After (v4.0.0+ - consolidated):

// ✅ New way - single package import
import { signalTree, withBatching, withMemoization, withDevtools } from '@signaltree/core';

// All enhancers available from @signaltree/core

Migration Steps

1. Uninstall deprecated packages:

   npm uninstall @signaltree/batching @signaltree/memoization @signaltree/devtools \
                 @signaltree/entities @signaltree/middleware @signaltree/presets \
                 @signaltree/time-travel @signaltree/serialization

2. Update imports in your code:

   # Find all files with old imports
   grep -r "@signaltree/(batching|memoization|devtools|entities|middleware|presets|time-travel|serialization)" src/
   
   # Update imports to use @signaltree/core

3. Update to latest version:

   npm install @signaltree/core@latest

Benefits of Consolidation

• ✅ Smaller bundle size: 16.2% reduction when using multiple enhancers
• ✅ Better tree-shaking: Unused features completely eliminated
• ✅ Simplified dependencies: Single package to manage
• ✅ Version synchronization: All features share the same version
• ✅ Reduced duplication: No duplicate code between packages

Optional Add-on Packages (Maintained Separately)

These packages remain separate for flexibility and bundle size optimization:

• ✅ @signaltree/ng-forms - Angular forms integration
• ✅ @signaltree/callable-syntax - Build-time DX enhancement (dev dependency)
• ✅ @signaltree/enterprise - Enterprise-scale optimizations (500+ signals)

---

Usage example (deep nesting)

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';

// Create a reactive state tree
const tree = signalTree({
  user: {
    name: 'John Doe',
    email: '[email protected]',
  },
  settings: {
    theme: 'dark',
    notifications: true,
  },
});

// Full type-safe access to nested signals
console.log(tree.$.user.name()); // 'John Doe'
tree.$.settings.theme.set('light');

// Update state with type safety
tree((state) => ({
  user: { ...state.user, name: 'Jane Doe' },
  settings: { ...state.settings, theme: 'light' },
}));

Optional Callable Syntax (Zero Runtime Cost)

For enhanced developer experience, install the optional transform package:

npm install -D @signaltree/callable-syntax

This enables elegant callable syntax that compiles away completely:

// With transform (elegant DX) → compiles to direct calls (zero overhead)
tree.$.user.name('Jane Doe'); // → tree.$.user.name.set('Jane Doe');
tree.$.count((n) => n + 1); // → tree.$.count.update(n => n + 1);

// Getters work the same either way:
const name = tree.$.user.name(); // No transformation needed

✅ Pure DX Enhancement: Zero runtime overhead, compiles away completely
✅ TypeScript Support: Full type checking and IntelliSense
✅ Build-Time Only: No impact on bundle size or performance

See @signaltree/callable-syntax for setup guides.

Composed Usage (Modular Features)

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withBatching, withMemoization, withEntities, withMiddleware, withDevTools, withTimeTravel, withPresets } from '@signaltree/core';

// Compose multiple features using .with()
const tree = signalTree({
  users: [] as User[],
  posts: [] as Post[],
  ui: { loading: false, theme: 'light' },
  filters: { search: '', category: 'all' },
}).with(
  withBatching(), // Batch updates for performance
  withMemoization(), // Intelligent caching
  withMiddleware(), // State interceptors
  withEntities(), // Enhanced CRUD operations
  withTimeTravel(), // Undo/redo functionality
  withDevTools(), // Development tools (auto-disabled in production)
  withPresets() // Pre-configured setups
);

// Batching: Multiple updates in single render cycle
tree.batchUpdate((state) => ({
  users: [...state.users, newUser],
  ui: { ...state.ui, loading: false },
  filters: { ...state.filters, search: '' },
}));

// Memoization: Cache expensive computations
const filteredUsers = tree.memoize((state) => state.users.filter((u) => u.name.includes(state.filters.search) && (state.filters.category === 'all' || u.category === state.filters.category)), 'filtered-users');

// Middleware: Intercept and log state changes
tree.addTap({
  id: 'logger',
  after: (action, payload, state, newState) => {
    console.log('Action:', action, payload);
    console.log('New state:', newState);
  },
});

// Async: Advanced async operations with automatic loading states
const loadUsersWithPosts = tree.asyncAction(
  async () => {
    const users = await api.getUsers();
    const posts = await api.getPosts();
    return { users, posts };
  },
  {
    onStart: (state) => ({ ui: { ...state.ui, loading: true } }),
    onSuccess: (result, state) => ({
      users: result.users,
      posts: result.posts,
      ui: { ...state.ui, loading: false },
    }),
    onError: (error, state) => ({
      ui: { ...state.ui, loading: false, error: error.message },
    }),
  }
);

// Entities: Enhanced CRUD with advanced querying
const users = tree.entities<User>('users');
users.add(user1);
users.add(user2);
users.add(user3);
const activeUsers = users.selectBy((user) => user.active);
const allUsers = users.selectAll();

// Time Travel: Undo/redo functionality
tree.undo(); // Undo last change
tree.redo(); // Redo undone change
const history = tree.getHistory(); // Get state history
users.add({ id: 1, name: 'Alice' });

State Persistence & Serialization

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withSerialization, withPersistence } from '@signaltree/core';

// Create a tree with serialization capabilities
const tree = signalTree({
  user: { name: 'John', preferences: { theme: 'dark' } },
  settings: { language: 'en', notifications: true },
  cart: { items: [], total: 0 },
}).with(
  withSerialization({
    preserveTypes: true, // Handle Date, Map, Set, etc.
    handleCircular: true, // Detect and resolve circular references
    includeMetadata: true, // Add timestamps and version info
  })
);

// Basic Serialization
const serialized = tree.serialize();
console.log(serialized); // JSON string with metadata

// Deserialize and restore state
const newTree = signalTree({}).with(withSerialization());
newTree.deserialize(serialized);

// Snapshots for debugging and state management
const snapshot = tree.snapshot();
tree.restore(snapshot);

// Plain object conversion
const plainState = tree.toJSON();
tree.fromJSON(plainState);

// Persistence with localStorage/custom storage
const persistentTree = signalTree({
  user: { name: 'John' },
  settings: { theme: 'dark' },
}).with(
  withPersistence({
    key: 'app-state',
    autoSave: true, // Automatically save on updates
    autoLoad: true, // Load state on initialization
    debounceMs: 1000, // Debounce saves for performance
    storage: localStorage, // Use any storage adapter
  })
);

// Manual persistence operations
await persistentTree.save(); // Save current state
await persistentTree.load(); // Load saved state
await persistentTree.clear(); // Clear saved state

// Custom storage adapters
import { createStorageAdapter } from '@signaltree/core';

const customStorage = createStorageAdapter(
  async (key) => await database.get(key), // getItem
  async (key, value) => await database.set(key, value), // setItem
  async (key) => await database.delete(key) // removeItem
);

// Use cases enabled:
// ✅ SSR state hydration
// ✅ State debugging (copy state as JSON)
// ✅ Time-travel debugging
// ✅ Cross-tab state synchronization
// ✅ Offline state persistence
// ✅ State transfer between contexts

import { withBatching, withMemoization, withDevTools } from '@signaltree/core';

const shopTree = signalTree({
  products: {
    items: [] as Product[],
    loading: false,
    filters: {
      category: null as string | null,

  }));
};

Advanced Form Management

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { createFormTree, validators } from '@signaltree/ng-forms';
import { withTimeTravel } from '@signaltree/core';

// Enhanced form with undo/redo capability
const registrationForm = createFormTree(

    username: '',
    email: '',
    password: '',
    confirmPassword: '',
  },
  {
    validators: {
      username: validators.minLength(3),
      email: validators.email(),
      password: validators.pattern(/^(?=.*[A-Za-z])(?=.*\d)[A-Za-z\d]{8,}$/),

        const exists = await api.checkUsername(value);
        return exists ? 'Username taken' : null;
      },
      email: async (value) => {
        const exists = await api.checkEmail(value);
        return exists ? 'Email already registered' : null;
      },
    },
  }
).with(withTimeTravel()); // Add form undo/redo

// Component usage with enhanced features
@Component({
  template: `
    <form (ngSubmit)="onSubmit()">
      <input signalTreeSignalValue [signal]="form.$.username" [class.error]="form.getFieldError('username')()" />
      @if (form.getFieldError('username')(); as error) {
      <span class="error">{{ error }}</span>
      } @if (form.getAsyncValidating('username')()) {
      <spinner size="small"></spinner>
      }

      <input signalTreeSignalValue [signal]="form.$.email" type="email" />
      @if (form.getFieldError('email')(); as error) {
      <span class="error">{{ error }}</span>
      }

      <div class="form-actions">
        <button type="button" (click)="form.undo()" [disabled]="!form.canUndo()">Undo</button>
        <button type="button" (click)="form.redo()" [disabled]="!form.canRedo()">Redo</button>
        <button type="submit" [disabled]="!form.valid() || form.submitting() || form.asyncValidating()">Register</button>

  `,
})
class RegistrationComponent {
  form = registrationForm;

  async onSubmit() {
    await this.form.submit(async (values) => {
      return await api.register(values);
    });
  }
}

Minimal Setup (Core Only)

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withEntities } from '@signaltree/core';
// withAsync removed — use middleware helpers for async operations

// Just 7.20KB core + entities + async - perfect for simple applications
const appTree = signalTree({
  user: { name: '', email: '' },
  todos: [] as Todo[],
  loading: false,
}).with(withEntities() /* withAsync removed; use middleware helpers */);

// Entity management (via entities enhancer)
const todos = appTree.entities<Todo>('todos');
todos.add({ id: '1', text: 'Learn SignalTree', done: false });

// Async actions (via async enhancer)
const loadUser = appTree.asyncAction(async (id: string) => {
  return await api.getUser(id);
});

// Simple reactive effects (always included)
appTree.effect((state) => {
  console.log(`User: ${state.user.name}, Todos: ${state.todos.length}`);
});

🌟 Advanced Features

Time Travel Debugging

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withTimeTravel } from '@signaltree/core';

const appTree = signalTree({ count: 0 }).with(
  withTimeTravel({
    maxHistorySize: 50,
    enabled: process.env['NODE_ENV'] === 'development',
  })
);

// State changes are automatically tracked
appTree.$.count.set(5);
appTree.$.count.set(10);

// Time travel controls
appTree.undo(); // count: 5
appTree.redo(); // count: 10
appTree.jumpTo(0); // count: 0

Performance Optimization

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withBatching, withMemoization } from '@signaltree/core';

const optimizedTree = signalTree({
  users: [] as User[],
  filters: { name: '', role: '' },
}).with(
  withBatching({ debounceMs: 16 }), // Batch rapid updates
  withMemoization({ maxCacheSize: 100 }) // Cache expensive computations
);

// Multiple updates batched automatically
optimizedTree.batchUpdate((state) => ({
  filters: { name: 'John', role: 'admin' },
  users: filteredUsers,
}));

Middleware Pipeline

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withMiddleware, createLoggingMiddleware } from '@signaltree/core';
import { withPersistence } from '@signaltree/core';

const appTree = signalTree({ theme: 'dark', user: null }).with(
  withMiddleware([createLoggingMiddleware('AppState')]),
  withPersistence({
    key: 'app-state',
    storage: localStorage,
    paths: ['theme'], // Only persist theme
  })
);

⚠️ Using Callable Syntax for Object Extraction Efficiently

Getting full objects from SignalTree nodes using the callable syntax (e.g., tree(), tree.$.nested()) extracts plain JavaScript objects, but it's an expensive operation that should be used thoughtfully:

const tree = signalTree({
  user: { name: 'John', email: '[email protected]' },
  settings: { theme: 'dark', notifications: true },
});

// ❌ AVOID: Frequent object extraction is expensive
function badExample() {
  const userData = tree.$.user(); // Expensive - extracts entire user object
  const userEmail = userData.email;
  const userName = userData.name;
  return `${userName} (${userEmail})`;
}

// ✅ BETTER: Access signals directly
function goodExample() {
  const userEmail = tree.$.user.email(); // Direct signal access
  const userName = tree.$.user.name(); // Direct signal access
  return `${userName} (${userEmail})`;
}

// ✅ ACCEPTABLE: Extract full objects when you need the entire structure
function acceptableExample() {
  const completeUser = tree.$.user(); // OK when you need full object
  return sendToAPI(completeUser); // Sending to external API
}

Performance Guidelines for Object Extraction

1. Prefer Signal Access: Use tree.$.path.property() for individual values
2. Extract for Integration: Use callable syntax when interfacing with external APIs or libraries
3. Consider State Design: If you find yourself extracting objects frequently, consider restructuring your state

// 🔄 REFACTOR OPPORTUNITY: If you frequently need user data as an object
const tree = signalTree({
  // ❌ Before: Nested user object requiring frequent object extraction
  user: { name: 'John', email: '[email protected]', preferences: {...} },

  // ✅ After: Consider making frequently-accessed objects signals themselves
  currentUser: signal({ name: 'John', email: '[email protected]', preferences: {...} }),
});

// Now you can access the complete user object efficiently:
const userObject = tree.$.currentUser(); // Direct signal access, no object extraction needed

When Object Extraction is Appropriate

• API Integration: Sending data to external services
• Serialization: Converting state for storage or transmission
• Legacy Integration: Working with non-reactive code
• Debugging: Inspecting complete state structure
• Performance Profiling: Measuring state size or structure

// ✅ Good use cases for object extraction
const tree = signalTree(complexState);

// API integration
await apiClient.post('/users', tree.$.user());

// State persistence
localStorage.setItem('app-state', JSON.stringify(tree()));

// Debugging
console.log('Current state:', tree());

Testing Utilities

SignalTree includes comprehensive testing utilities for all scenarios:

import { signalTree } from '@signaltree/core';
import { testTree } from '@signaltree/core/testing';

describe('UserStore', () => {
  it('should handle user login', async () => {
    const tree = testTree(signalTree({ user: null, loading: false }));

    // Test async actions
    const loginAction = tree.asyncAction(async (credentials) => {
      return await api.login(credentials);
    });

    await tree.testAsync(loginAction, { email: '[email protected]', password: 'pass' });

    expect(tree.getState().user).toBeDefined();
    expect(tree.getState().loading).toBe(false);
  });

  it('should handle extreme depth with perfect type safety', () => {
    const tree = testTree(
      signalTree({
        level1: { level2: { level3: { level4: { level5: { data: 'test' } } } } },
      })
    );

    // Perfect type inference at any depth
    const deepValue = tree.$.level1.level2.level3.level4.level5.data();
    expect(deepValue).toBe('test');

    // Type-safe updates at any depth
    tree.$.level1.level2.level3.level4.level5.data('updated');
    expect(tree.$.level1.level2.level3.level4.level5.data()).toBe('updated');
  });

  it('should batch multiple updates', () => {
    const tree = testTree(signalTree({ a: 1, b: 2 }));

    const renderSpy = jest.fn();
    tree.effect(renderSpy);

    tree.batchUpdate((state) => ({ a: state.a + 1, b: state.b + 1 }));

    expect(renderSpy).toHaveBeenCalledTimes(1); // Only one render!
  });
});

🔄 Migration Guide

From NgRx

// Step 1: Create parallel tree
const tree = signalTree(initialState);

// Step 2: Gradually migrate components
// Before
users$ = this.store.select(selectUsers);

// After
users = this.tree.$.users;

// Step 3: Replace effects with async actions
// Before
loadUsers$ = createEffect(() =>
  this.actions$.pipe(
    ofType(loadUsers),
    switchMap(() => this.api.getUsers())
  )
);

// After
loadUsers = tree.asyncAction(() => api.getUsers(), { onSuccess: (users) => ({ users }) });

From Native Signals

// Before - Scattered signals
const userSignal = signal(null);
const loadingSignal = signal(false);
const errorSignal = signal(null);

// After - Organized tree
const tree = signalTree({
  user: null,
  loading: false,
  error: null,
});

const tree = signalTree(state).with(withSerialization());
// Adds: SSR support, state debugging, persistence, time-travel ready

// SignalTree Smart Auto-Enable (7.20-27.50KB) - Features enable as needed
const tree = signalTree(state); // Starts at 7.20KB, grows to 27.50KB as you use features
// Auto-adds: memoization, time-travel, devtools, batching, middleware on first use

// Elf "Equivalent" (10KB) - To match SignalTree features
import { createStore, withProps } from '@ngneat/elf'; // 3KB
import { withEntities, selectAll } from '@ngneat/elf-entities'; // 2KB
import { withRequestsStatus } from '@ngneat/elf-requests'; // 1.5KB
import { devtools } from '@ngneat/elf-devtools'; // 3KB
// Still missing: forms, time-travel, auto-enabling patterns

// NgRx "Basic" (50KB+) - No way to start smaller
import { Store, createAction, createReducer } from '@ngrx/store'; // 25KB
import { Actions, createEffect } from '@ngrx/effects'; // 10KB
import { EntityAdapter } from '@ngrx/entity'; // 8KB
import { StoreDevtoolsModule } from '@ngrx/store-devtools'; // 5KB
// Still missing: forms integration, smart progressive enhancement

The Verdict

• For New Projects: SignalTree (7.20KB start) offers the best balance with auto-enhancement
• For Growth: SignalTree scales intelligently from 7.20KB to 27.50KB as you use features
• For Enterprise: Consider NgRx only if you need its massive ecosystem and don't mind complexity
• For Micro-frontends: SignalTree Basic (7.20KB) with smart enhancement beats Elf's complexity
• For Simplicity: SignalTree auto-enabling beats native signals for anything beyond trivial state

SignalTree isn't just another state management library—it's an innovative approach that makes complex state management feel natural while respecting your bundle size budget through intelligent progressive enhancement.
