This week we added the tags store and joined the tags to the api. We mostly follow a pattern to add an api service which makes all the api calls and a store service which sores al the data related to that service. 

We also added listings using the same pattern. This is the first time we used *rxLet. It really makes working with all Observable in the templates easier do [check](https://github.com/rx-angular/rx-angular/blob/master/libs/template/docs/api/let-directive.md) it out. It allows you four states for an observable suspense, error. complete so that you can handle each one of them separately and gets rid of the *ngIf with async pipe. Like if you want to display something else while loading and error is a big disadvantage of the async pipe when used with an api.

There was one interesting thing we did this time we created a reusable component which when passed a tag will show all the top articles from these tags in the last 3 days if you want to check [this](https://github.com/ajitsinghkaler/devto-clone/commit/4a031584b9008c2733c64d1e61fb00883d5db94f) out. 

This is how it looks now

## Issues

[Issue](https://github.com/ajitsinghkaler/devto-clone/issues/6)
The article tag store and article store are quite common can we make them one. Same for listings HTML and article-tag HTML. I'm not sure what to do about this.
