What are NgRx Effects and why are they needed?

Expert Angular
Quick Answer NgRx Effects handle async side effects (HTTP calls, navigation) triggered by actions. An Effect listens for specific actions, performs async work (HTTP request), and dispatches success or failure actions. Keeps side effects out of reducers (which must be pure functions) and components (which should only dispatch actions). Effects are testable, isolated, and handle complex async workflows cleanly.

Answer

Effects handle side effects like API calls, caching, and async workflows without polluting reducers. They keep the store pure and predictable.
