Decoupling @ngrx/effects from @ngrx/store

[kalgon]

In my application, I am using global (functional) effects which do no use Actions as source Observable and never emit any Action ({ dispatch: false }}. For example, I have a global effect which subscribes to a STOMP/WebSocket channel to get announcement messages and display an alert box containing those messages.

Now that I have converted all my legacy stores to signal stores, I think it rather awkward having to use provideStore() to make those effects (with createEffect()) work because I don't use the old store at all anymore. I need to use provideStore() because effects depend on the old store (they need the store to dispatch any Action which is emitted by my effect). But in my case, I always use { dispatch: false } and I don't use Actions as source.

So would it be possible to have a createEffect() which:

• is functional by default
• never dispatch anything that is emitted
• does not depend on the old store at all?
