Normalise Api response with NgRX Entity

Question

Is it possible to take nested JSON api response and normalize it with NgRx Entity library? If I have an object that looks like this:

[
    {
        "id": "1",
        "title": "My first post!",
        "author": {
            "id": "123",
            "name": "Paul"
        },
        "comments": [
            {
                "id": "249",
                "content": "Nice post!",
                "commenter": {
                    "id": "245",
                    "name": "Jane"
                }
            },
            {
                "id": "250",
                "content": "Thanks!",
                "commenter": {
                    "id": "123",
                    "name": "Paul"
                }
            }
        ]
    },
    {
        "id": "2",
        "title": "This other post",
        "author": {
            "id": "123",
            "name": "Paul"
        },
        "comments": [
            {
                "id": "251",
                "content": "Your other post was nicer",
                "commenter": {
                    "id": "245",
                    "name": "Jane"
                }
            },
            {
                "id": "252",
                "content": "I am a spammer!",
                "commenter": {
                    "id": "246",
                    "name": "Spambot5000"
                }
            }
        ]
    }
]

I want to make it as flat as possible with NgRx Entity, is this possible and if so how?

I have tried using the normalizr library and it can flatten out the object quite nicely but it doesn't fit well with NgRx helper functions , such as createReducers() and createActions().

Anyone got any idea?

No, @ngrx/entity does not provide normalize utilities. It contains the CRUD actions to store and read a collection to the store.
