Subscribe to store: is it forbidden or not?

Information

Hi everyone!
I've started to use ngrx recently and I'm trying to understand how it works.
While reading in the documentation, I noticed that there are many examples where after a selector, subscribe is used.
However, by using eslint-plugin, there is a rule which says
"Store subscription is forbidden. Use the async pipe instead.eslint(@ngrx/no-store-subscription)"

So, is it actually forbidden or is it more of a suggestion?
If so, why is that?

I have the same concern here. What if the values that I need are not for the HTML but for the TS file? I agree that in my opinion it may be a suggestion more than something else.

It's a big topic, but at a high level, you can pretty broadly avoid manually subscribeing to the global store, and pretty much any Observable, by:

• in templates, using async or consuming state as Signals
• for anything else, isolate processing of data in effects which manage a subscription for you
