Reactive components made easy! Lithium provides utilities that enable seamless reactive state and event interactions for Angular components.
-
Reactive component state
Lithium's
ComponentStateRefservice exposes a type-safe representation of component state properties as Subjects, allowing for observation of the component's full state automatically:
import { ComponentState, ComponentStateRef } from '@lithiumjs/angular';
@Component({
...
providers: [ComponentState.create(MyComponent)]
})
class MyComponent {
public value = 0;
constructor (stateRef: ComponentStateRef<MyComponent>) {
stateRef.get('value').subscribe(value => console.log("value: ", value));
this.value = 100;
}
// Output:
// value: 0
// value: 100
}-
Reactive lifecycle decorators
Lithium adds support for reactive component events, including decorators for component lifecycle events:
import { OnInit } from '@lithiumjs/angular';
@Component({...})
class MyComponent {
@OnInit()
private readonly onInit$: Observable<void>;
constructor () {
this.onInit$.subscribe(() => console.log("Reactive ngOnInit!"));
}
}-
Works with Angular component decorators
You can use Angular's built-in component decorators with Lithium. Use an
@Inputas a Subject and listen to a@HostListenerevent as an Observable! -
OnPush components made easy
By tracking component state changes automatically, Lithium's AutoPush feature allows you to easily write more performant components using OnPush.

Beyond
asyncLithium automatically manages subscription lifetimes just like Angular's async pipe, without its syntax overhead (and ugly workarounds).
Read through the intro guide to get to know Lithium's core features.
The example todo list app showcases real-world usages of Lithium.
Full API documentation is available for Lithium.
Lithium can be installed via npm using the following command:
npm install @lithiumjs/angularIf you are upgrading from Lithium 6.x or earlier, read through the migration guide to see how to updgrade your app to use the latest features from Lithium.
Lithium fully supports Ivy-based applications. Note: Please be aware that Lithium currently uses features from the not-yet finialized Ivy API, so some features of Lithium could stop working in later versions of Angular before Lithium is updated to support them.
Lithium 5.x.x is the last major version that supports ViewEngine-based applications. Lithium 6.x.x and above only supports Ivy-based applications.
