# onChange hook

This hook might be used for many use cases. One of them to update the view after state was changed if you are not using:

* actions 
* async pipes

for example:

```
Selected location: {{ location }}
```

```typescript
location: any;

constructor(private store: Store<any>, private cd: ChangeDetectorRef) { }

ngOnInit() {
    this.filters = new FormGroup({
        condition: new FormGroup({
            new: new FormControl(false),
            used: new FormControl(false),
            notSpecified: new FormControl(false)
        }),
        location: new FormControl()
    });

    this.store.select(['form', 'location']).subscribe(state => this.location = state);

    this.ngFormStateManager = this.store.select(['form'])
        .form.bind(this.filters)
        .shouldUpdateState((params: ShoulUpdateStateParams) => true)
        .onChange(state => // Do something with changes);
}
```

{% hint style="info" %}
This event will not be triggered if you are updating form state from the code manually
{% endhint %}

This becomes handy for example when you want to change one state property value depending on another change. For this you can do following:

```typescript
const ngFormStateManager = this.actions.store.form
    .bind(this.form, { emitEvent: true, onChangePairwise: true })
    .onChange(([prev, curr]) => {
        if (prev.monthlyIncome !== curr.monthlyIncome) {
            this.recalculateQuarterIncome(curr.monthlyIncome!);
        }

        if (prev.quarterIncome !== curr.quarterIncome) {
            this.recalculateMonthlyIncome(curr.quarterIncome!);
        }
    });
```
