Lightweight Port and Adapter Pattern for NGRX Signal Store

The NgRx Signal Store is a state management solution for Angular applications that is built on top of Angular’s reactive signals, which were introduced in Angular 16. NgRx Signal Store is designed to be a more efficient and simpler alternative to the traditional NgRx Store. It integrates Angular signals with the NgRx ecosystem, allowing developers to manage application state in a way that is both reactive and easier to reason about compared to the traditional NgRx store, which relies heavily on observables and actions. - https://angular.love/lightweight-port-and-adapter-pattern-for-ngrx-signal-store
