I'm trying to add the inputVal value to the state. It only works on the first click, and getting this error after

Error: TypeError: Cannot add property 1, object is not extensible

import { createReducer, on } from '@ngrx/store'
import { addTodo } from '../actions/todo.actions'

export const initialState: any[] = []
let test: any[] = []

const _todoReducer = createReducer(
  initialState,
  on(addTodo, (state: any, { inputVal }) => {
    test.push(inputVal)
    state = test
    return state
  })
)

export function todoReducer(state, action) {
  return _todoReducer(state, action)
}

How do I push or update state in NgRx? or if its not possible, what's the work around for it?

You can never modify a state in NgRx, the reducer will return a new copy of state rather than modifying the existing one. So you can't add test to state

try

const _todoReducer = createReducer(
  initialState,
  on(addTodo, (state: any, { inputVal }) => {
    return [...state,inputVal] // we are creating a new array and this will become the new state.
  })
)

For example, in your component please inject Store constructor(private store:Store){..}

Store can be updated via this.store.dispatch(addTodo("element"))

but there is another problem. Your store should be immutable, so you cannot reuse test array in reducer.

const _todoReducer = createReducer(
  initialState,
  on(addTodo, (state: any, { inputVal }) => {
    return [...state, inputVal]
  })
)

is enough.
