+# Entity Adapter
+
+## createEntityAdapter<T>
+
+A method for returning a generic entity adapter for a single entity state collection. The
+returned adapter provides many [methods](#adapter-methods) for performing operations
+against the collection type. The method takes an object for configuration with 2 properties.
+
+ - `selectId`: A `method` for selecting the primary id for the collection
+ - `sort`: A [sort function](https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/JavaScript/Reference/Global_Objects/Array/sort) for sorting the collection. Set to `false` to leave collection unsorted.
+
+Usage:
+
+```ts
+import { EntityState, EntityAdapter, createEntityAdapter } from '@ngrx/entity';
+
+export interface User {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+}
+
+export interface State extends EntityState<User> {
+  // additional entities state properties
+  selectedUserId: number;
+}
+
+export function sortByName(a: User, b: User): number {
+  return a.name.localeCompare(b.name);
+}
+
+export const adapter: EntityAdapter<User> = createEntityAdapter<User>({
+  selectId: (user: User) => user.id,
+  sort: sortByName,
+});
+```
+
+## Adapter Methods
+
+These methods are provided by the adapter object returned
+when using [createEntityAdapter](#createEntityAdapter). The methods are used inside your reducer function to manage
+the entity collection based on your provided actions.
+
+### getInitialState
+
+Returns the `initialState` for entity state based on the provided type. Additional state is also provided through the provided configuration object. The initialState is provided to your reducer function.
+
+Usage:
+
+```ts
+import { EntityState, EntityAdapter, createEntityAdapter } from '@ngrx/entity';
+
+export interface User {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+}
+
+export interface State extends EntityState<User> {
+  // additional entities state properties
+  selectedUserId: number | null;
+}
+
+export const initialState: State = adapter.getInitialState({
+  // additional entity state properties
+  selectedUserId: null
+});
+
+export function reducer(state = initialState, action): State {
+  switch(action.type) {
+    default: {
+      return state;
+    }
+  }
+}
+```
+
+## Adapter Collection Methods
+
+The entity adapter also provides methods for operations against an entity. These methods can change
+one to many records at a time. Each method returns the newly modified state if changes were made and the same
+state if no changes were made.
+
+* `addOne`: Add one entity to the collection
+* `addMany`: Add multiple entities to the collection
+* `addAll`: Replace current collection with provided collection
+* `removeOne`: Remove one entity to the collection
+* `removeMany`: Remove multiple entities to the collection
+* `removeAll`: Clear entity collection
+* `updateOne`: Update one entity in the collection
+* `updateMany`: Update multiple entities in the collection
+
+Usage:
+
+`user.model.ts`
+
+```ts
+export interface User {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+}
+```
+
+`user.actions.ts`
+
+```ts
+import { Action } from '@ngrx/action';
+import { User } from './user.model';
+
+export const LOAD_USERS = '[User] Load Users';
+export const ADD_USER = '[User] Add User';
+export const ADD_USERS = '[User] Add Users';
+export const UPDATE_USER = '[User] Update User';
+export const UPDATE_USERS = '[User] Update Users';
+export const DELETE_USER = '[User] Delete User';
+export const DELETE_USERS = '[User] Delete Users';
+export const CLEAR_USERS = '[User] Clear Users';
+
+export class LoadUsers implements Action {
+  readonly type = LOAD_USERS;
+
+  constructor(public payload: { users: User[] }) {}
+}
+
+export class AddUser implements Action {
+  readonly type = ADD_USER;
+
+  constructor(public payload: { user: User }) {}
+}
+
+export class AddUsers implements Action {
+  readonly type = ADD_USERS;
+
+  constructor(public payload: { users: User[] }) {}
+}
+
+export class UpdateUser implements Action {

+
+  constructor(public payload: { user: User }) {}
+}
+
+export class UpdateUsers implements Action {
+  readonly type = UPDATE_USERS;
+
+  constructor(public payload: { users: User[] }) {}
+}
+
+export class DeleteUser implements Action {
+  readonly type = DELETE_USER;
+
+  constructor(public payload: { user: User }) {}
+}
+
+export class DeleteUsers implements Action {
+  readonly type = DELETE_USERS;
+
+  constructor(public payload: { users: User[] }) {}
+}
+
+export class ClearUsers implements Action {
+  readonly type = CLEAR_USERS;
+}
+
+export type All =
+ LoadUsers
+ | AddUser
+ | AddUsers
+ | UpdateUser
+ | UpdateUsers
+ | DeleteUser
+ | DeleteUsers
+ | ClearUsers;
+```
+
+`user.reducer.ts`
+```ts
+import * as user from './user.actions';
+
+export interface State extends EntityState<User> {
+  // additional entities state properties
+  selectedUserId: number | null;
+}
+
+export const adapter: EntityAdapter<User> = createEntityAdapter<User>({
+  selectId: (user: User) => user.id,
+  sort: true,
+});
+
+export const initialState: State = adapter.getInitialState({
+  // additional entity state properties
+  selectedUserId: null
+});
+
+export function reducer(
+  state = initialState,
+  action: UserActions.All
+): State {
+  switch (action.type) {        
+    case user.ADD_USER: {
+      return {
+        ...state,
+        ...adapter.addOne(action.payload.user, state),
+      };
+    }
+
+    case user.ADD_USERS: {
+      return {
+        ...state,
+        ...adapter.addMany(action.payload.users, state),
+      };
+    }
+
+    case user.UPDATE_USER: {
+      return {
+        ...state,
+        ...adapter.updateOne(action.payload.user, state),
+      };
+    }
+
+    case user.UPDATE_USERS: {
+      return {
+        ...state,
+        ...adapter.updateMany(action.payload.users, state),
+      };
+    }
+
+    case user.LOAD_USERS: {
+      return {
+        ...state,
+        ...adapter.addAll(action.payload.users, state),
+      };
+    }
+
+    case user.CLEAR_USERS: {
+      return {
+        ...adapter.removeAll(state),
+        selectedUserId: null
+      };
+    }        
+
+    default: {
+      return state;
+    }    
+  }
+}
+
+export const getSelectedUserId = (state: State) => state.selectedUserId;
+```
+
+### Entity Selectors
+
+The `getSelectors` method returned by the created entity adapter provides functions for selecting information from the entity.
+
+The `getSelectors` method takes a selector function
+as its only argument to select the piece of state for a defined entity.
+
+Usage:
+
+`reducers/index.ts`
+
+```ts
+import { createSelector, createFeatureSelector } from '@ngrx/store';
+import * as fromUser from './user.reducer';
+
+export interface State {
+  users: fromUser.State;
+}
+
+export const selectUserState =  createFeatureSelector<fromUser.State>('users');
+
+export const {
+  // select the array of user ids
+  selectIds: getUserIds,
+
+  // select the dictionary of user entities
+  selectEntities: getUserEntities,
+
+  // select the array of users
+  selectAll: getAllUsers,
+
+  // select the total user count
+  selectTotal: getUserTotal
+} = fromUser.adapter.getSelectors(selectUserState);
+
+export const selectUserIds = createSelector(selectUserState, getUserIds);
+export const selectUserEntities = createSelector(selectUserState, getUserEntities);
+export const selectAllUsers = createSelector(selectUserState, getAllUsers);
+export const selectUserCount = createSelector(selectUserState, getUserTotal);
+export const selectCurrentUserId = createSelector(selectUserState, fromUser.getSelectedUserId);
+export const selectCurrentUser = createSelector(
+  selectUserEntities,
+  selectCurrentUserId,
+  (userEntities, userId) => userEntities[userId]
+);
+```

+# Entity Interfaces
+
+## EntityState<T>
+
+The Entity State is a predefined generic interface for a given entity collection with the following properties:
+
+ * `ids`: An array of all the primary ids in the collection
+ * `entities`: A dictionary of entities in the collection indexed by the primary id
+
+ Extend this interface to provided any additional properties for the entity state.
+
+ Usage:
+
+ ```ts
+ export interface User {
+  id: number;
+  name: string;
+  description: string;
+}
+
+export interface State extends EntityState<User> {
+  // additional entity state properties
+  selectedUserId: string | null;
+}
+```
+
+## EntityAdapter<T>
+
+Provides a generic type interface for the provided [entity adapter](./adapter#createEntityAdapter). The entity adapter provides many [collection methods](./adapter.md#adapter-collection-methods) for managing the entity state.
+
+Usage:
+
+```ts
+export const adapter: EntityAdapter<User> = createEntityAdapter<User>({
+  selectId: (user: User) => user.id
+});
+```
