Chapter 5. 1.21 Gigawatt - Flux Pattern Explained

Your application has grown and in that process, you slowly feel you are losing track of what your application knows at a given point, what we call the state of the application. There might be other issues, such as parts of your application not being in agreement with what they know. An update that happened in one part may not have been applied to some other part and you scratch your head, thinking should it be this hard and is there a better answer?

It's entirely possible you are just picking up this book as you have heard about NgRx as the way to structure your application and you are curious and want to know more.

Let's first explain our title. What do we mean by 1.21 Gigawatt? I'm going to quote the character Doc Brown from the movie Back to the Future (http://www.imdb.com/name/nm0000502/?ref_=tt_trv_qu):

"Marty, I'm sorry, but the only power source capable of generating 1.21 gigawatts of electricity is a bolt of lightning."
