Yep, another blog post about Angular 2 and Ngrx. In this post we'll look at some ways to create @Effects that don't return an action to the reducer and when you might want to do this.

If you haven't already read my first post about setting up your angular 2 project with Ngrx/store then you should check that out first. In this post we will build on this state management architecture by learning about how to to think about asynchronous actions in the world of ngrx. We'll start with some simple examples and ultimately build up to @Effects that pull data from Firebase database. Let's get started!
Sorry for the long title, but I just wanted to make it really clear what this post was going to be about. ;) In this post I'll basically show you how my straight-from-the-docs implementation for reading from the Firebase real-time database was resulting in a terribly slow-feeling user experience and how I was easily able to "make it work" once I had an understanding of how Angular 2, Zone.js, and Firebase (and asynchronous calls in general) are all interrelated in updating the DOM with the data in your typescript code.
I went back to work on an old project that used Firebase's 2.4.2 library (as of this writing the newest library is 3.X, and there are some big changes between the two libraries. The key is that even though the syntax between the libraries is a little different, the underlying concepts are how you decide to use Firebase for your specific application are the same.
