How to give a ngrx reducer/ action a value to set the state to?

I'm using Angular ngrx for the first time and I'm trying to replace all the @Input()s and @Output()s in my 'standard beginner-project' by it. Incrementing and Decrementing the state is simple, but I wonder how I can give the set Action a specific value to set the state to.

const _dividerReducer = createReducer(
  initialState,
  on(increment, (state) => state + 1),
  on(decrement, (state) => state - 1),
  on(set, (state) => initialState)
);

I have tried something like this so far at my actions:

import { createAction } from "@ngrx/store";
export const set = (newValue:number) => createAction("[Divider Component] Set", { newValue });

But that is obviously not the way it works - even if I saw that the second argument in createAction() is the config.

Looks like the issue is in the reducer file. You are resetting the state to the initial value on the action set, i.e. on(set, (state) => initialState).

The reducer for the set action should look something like below:

export interface IDividerState {
 value:number;
}

export const initialState: IDividerState = {
 value: 0
}

const _dividerReducer = createReducer(
initialState,
on(increment, (state) => state + 1),
on(decrement, (state) => state - 1),
on(set, (state, {payload}) => ({
value: payload
}));

Then your action for Set should have the payload which is the value you want to set:

import { createAction, props } from "@ngrx/store";

export const set = createAction(
  "[Divider Component] Set",
  props<{ payload: number }>()
);
