What is NgRx and why is it used in Angular apps?

Good intro to NgRx:

NgRx implements the Flux-Pattern. At a high level, it helps you unify all events and derive a common state in your Angular app. With NgRx, you store a single state and use actions to express state changes. It is ideal for apps with many user interactions and multiple data sources.
