I read some comments and I think that people is mixing the concepts. First: State Machine !== State Management. Second: You could use both at the same time, no problem. Let's imagine you have a search input component: Inside the concept o state machine, the term "state" refers to the current condition of your app, For example - Search input is empty - Search input is filled - Search input is disabled Each of these state is one of the possible conditions (finite state) that the search input component can have and has nothing to do (directly) with the variable that will store the value atribute of the input or the variable that will store the loading state. One of the ideas behind using state machine in frontend dev is that you are taking an approach less imperative and more declarative towards the possible state (conditions) of your component may have, that can help you with component testing and avoiding unpredictable situations like infinite loading or unexpected error, for example. There is a video that is about this libary and explains much better what I tried to mean XD czcams.com/video/wgWwJSnhgDU/video.html Also recomend reading about finite state machine in game development, that you'll have good insights for front components dev.
Very interesting. I like the way you can visualize the state transitions and simulate them. That's really helpful in understanding the potential paths through the state machine and identifying invalid states and transitions. I often ponder this while writing code. My current practice is to draw a diagram of the state machine before coding it.
Man, this was super resourceful! I'd be curious to see an example of xstate and react-query, covering the best practices for some real-world retry behavior. Maybe going into detail of how to inform the user they may not fetch again because a maximum fetch failure limit was reached and you must refresh the page in order to re-attempt the request. This can be useful in preventing users from spamming the retry button
I think state machines using XState are useful, but must be used and applied carefully, as they can make a simple scenario to be a lot more complex to read and maintain. Taking the video study case as an example, you can easily achieve the same result by wrapping load, reload and retries in a custom hook and using libraries such as react-query. This will produce a more readable result in fewer lines of code. I would only use state machine if states don't circle back to only two different ones like in the example, instead, I would use them to represent a more complex workflow.
Yeah, I hate it. Perhaps it’s useful in more complex examples, but this is ultimately just makes code unreadable. Is it possible to do everything in XState, or are there limitations to what you can do with it?
@@hojdog in my experience I was adding a lot of loginc to a map that becames impossible to maintain. Every time that I need to add login to that was painfull with redux and redux saga. But with xstate all the complex logic was reduced to almust 0.
"If the only tool you have is a hammer, it is tempting to treat everything as if it were a nail." People tend to blind themselves with these tools. They have something simple they want to do, but they overcomplicate things by using tools that aren't necessary for the job.
If you think this is supposed to be a replacement for react-query then you are missing the point. The point is to implement bespoke logic. XState really shines the more complex the logic becomes, but once you are already familiar with it, there is nothing wrong with using it for simpler logic.
“The nice thing about x state is it handles all your state and logic in one place”. Heard this many times with 90% of state management libraries (Redux, Mobx…)
That's actually two different states these libraries are managing. The term state is confusing and actually means several different things. The FSM however could be also done via redux and co.
I'm studying this concept since 2009. I create a very disrupt method to teach tech and you are one of mt favorites channels in this path. Thank you. I love State Machine, this is Kabbalah !
Thanks a lot for this video. One thing though, I think you should warn beginners/juniors that this type of tech should be used for large and complex applications. You don't hunt with a bazooka. Once again thanks for all your content!
It's absolutely amazing lab! At my full-time job I use XState to re-write (2 or 3 time) complex custom auto-complete "with whistlers" finally with zero errors and no glitches. Yep, it's not simple as it feels should be, but its works and mountable. Thanks for video.
This tool is pretty awesome! Thanks for demo. Yes the demo fetch scenario would be best handled with Polly or Cockatiel J's libraries, but I got the gist of how x state works and I think it will be great for maintains some workflows that my app uses to guide users over several days. Might even use it in transition some windows workflow foundation workflows.
@@fyfirman useState is just a stateful value and setter function. Xstate is for configuring complex state machines. It's more like useReducer with an opinionated interface. State libraries like xstate become more important in larger applications.
You wouldn't use a state machine to handle if a button was clicked or not. States machines can simplify complex logic needed for switching between and keeping state in an app. Its another way of saying "I will change into [someState] when [someConditions] are met."
For those that are confused, I found the solution: 1) Don’t use booleans for options with more than two potential states. Use an enum, a class, or a module with exported strings. 2) completely ignore this. 3) Continue using Redux, or if for some inexplicable reason you want to… mobx.
Bro, thank you very much for all the content you share, your channel is the best for react and js, this is very interesting, try to take a little course on this.
I think so, a state machine can be simple or complex, in the case of a small project we would have simple state machines, and if tomorrow the project grows, scaling the logic of the state machines would be relatively simple and the expected behavior would be clearly defined.
Hey Kyle, In the actions you are mutating context and that is something that you should avoid. You can find it in the docs Instead of: increaseRetryNumber: context => (context.retries += 1), you should do: increaseRetryNumber: assign({ retries: context => context.retries + 1 }),
I have a question, But I don’t know u will understand or not Qno If we have eventlistners and we pass args like click and dblclick Question is how much time its waits for next click if event is for double click… We have both ‘click’ and ‘dblclick’ on same element For how much time it will wait for next click if user wants double click Hope u understand Thanks
Thanks, great work!. Could you create a tutorial using XState and React Query in a real app example? I don't know how manage states when react query refetch data automatically? I have an App use react-query via hooks and manage some ui (like: loading progress bar) from react query but how can I move this to integrate with xstate?
I think this (czcams.com/video/HfZCcg9_3t8/video.html) is a better first-example to showcase the power of state charts, rather than a contrived fetch. Here, you see (1) a clear separation between business logic (state machine) and declarative ui (jsx) (2) a lot of logic like "can I click this when in xxx state" is no longer required, as the library can infer that from the state machine. The UI side just uses APIs like `can`, as shown in the video. If you have a crazy amount of `useState` and it is being set all over the place, this is a better alternative, at the expense of having to learn the syntax.
Wie kann man im Kalender in der Wochenansicht (5-Tages-Ansicht) den aktuellen Tag, also die ganze Spalte, highlighten lassen? Früher ging das (z.B. gelber Hintergrund), seit vielen Monaten geht das dummerweise nicht mehr. In deinem Video sehe ich einen dünnen blauen Rahmen um den aktuellen Tag, das wäre ja auch okay. Aber ich finde nirgends eine Option dazu, auch bei den Regeln habe ich nichts Passendes gefunden, außer die abgelaufenen Termine ausgrauen zu lassen, was aber mit sich wiederholenden Terminen nicht funktioniert. Vielen Dank!
I like how xstate tries to simplify state management with state machines. I am just not sure if it is worth to use for every component. I think it would be better for something like a game that has a lot of complex state management is required.
Hi kyle amazing content It would help me and lots of people if you make video about advanced tables in react like sorting paging filters every app has it
here is how I would've done this in a much simpler way using OOP concepts; have a class that handles your calls to your back-end APIs with optional retry properties and offers you events you could register to having each event passing you an event object carrying all the helpful information you needed to handle whichever logic you wanted to handle. You could have the error event caller handing you an event object carrying information about the number of attempts it did so far while allowing you to pass a message back to the event caller telling the class to stop retrying or continue retrying after n amount of sleep, or whatever other logic you'd like to have the caller method do next. The problem today is it's very difficult to convince javascript developers to ever attempt learning OOP properly. So they ended up, in 2023, attempting to come about doing something so simple and basic in OOP 20+ years ago in a such a convoluted round-about way. here is a sample of what your error event handler would look like: function onError(ev) { console.log(ev.errorMsg); // do any logic you want (e.g. show msg to user, etc..) if (ev.retries>3) { ev.stopRetry = true; } } and here is how you use the API class const apiCaller = new MyCustomApiCallerClass(); apiCaller.event("error", onError(ev)); apiCaller.Post("your uri goes here", headersObj, postParams, anythingElseYouWant); ^ the above is a sample for onError, you could do the same for success, or any other event in the lifecycle of whatever you're building. Note: you can either implement your own Event class that you can reuse inside other classes (event class is just a class that maintains a list of callbacks for each event name) or use EventEmitter.
While I think something like xstate adds more complexity than it’s worth for 95% of web usecases, OOP has never been the only option in any domain. More functional oriented approaches and languages have been around and widely used since before OOP even existed. Using an OOP approach is fine but in no way superior. There are many examples to be given where a purely OOP approach adds unneeded complexity and strange abstractions that functional languages don’t need.
@@d.sherman8563 at least from his example, it will generate unnecessary complexity for the entire codebase and make the API calling annoying without any benefits from a fast iteration web development perspective. OOP is surprisingly good if everything is set (like a game or something that doesn't require rapidly change) or already gain large amount of prerequires before you even built it because you know how to abstract it in a certain degree without trying to guessing the rest. Ppl claim good engineers can abstract everything well but it's more like a survival bias for me, they abstract well because they abstract terribly before for the similar question. You don't want to be that abstract terribly case anyway if you work on that codebase. But it doesn't mean OOP is bad, we can still get some sort of ideas from OOP and apply them into functional programing or whatever it's to suit the practical needs. Like what XState does. You know why I said that, it's because in one of projects I had worked on, we applies that OOP concept into our api callings similar to the OP claims, it's not bad, but it isn't good either. It generates tons of unnecessarily complexity and lost tons of flexibilities, code is really hard to track after layers of abstractions along with typescript. Ultimately, it doesn't solve the UI state rendering issue without further abstraction, some of the annoying issues that XState can solve for front lib like React. It's far worse than without using OOP at all from the beginning, the abstraction is initially amazing but it will slowly degrade due to complex business needs, that's just how naturally thing evolve, guess what, OOP causes more troubles to do refactor. Like you said eventually, those so called OOP "benefits" in fact do not come with the nature of OOP itself, we can still achieve it with FP, with less complexity and better flexibility, at least in this case.

I like x state but it’s way too verbose. I haven’t used it before but I’d expect no auto suggestions on what options there are and that’s quite inconvenient too
Redux and XState have overlapping but different use cases… both can manage application state, but XState (and state charts in general) solve UI state more succinctly.
Redux isn't the best one, though its one of the oldest and most used, wich isn't the same. Redux can sometimes be overkill for simple state managements where you simply don't need it, and simpler alternatives like zustand just do a better job. Besides, Redux is still being used a lot more than other alternatives, but it's growth is in declive and in many cases other options are being chosen over it for new projects.
i dont understand whats the point of the libary ,all you are doing is making a simple fetch request and either get an error or something,why do you need state mangent for that thing and why this thing suppose to be better then redux.

@@nithinbhandari3075 Redux still the king
Redux isn't the best one, though its one of the oldest and most used, wich isn't the same. Redux can sometimes be overkill for simple state managements where you simply don't need it, and simpler alternatives like zustand just do a better job.
Besides, Redux is still being used a lot more than other alternatives, but it's growth is in declive and in many cases other options are being chosen over it for new projects.
i dont understand whats the point of the libary ,all you are doing is making a simple fetch request and either get an error or something,why do you need state mangent for that thing and why this thing suppose to be better then redux.
A library with state machines? Why not use a vanilla factory function.
