XState: the Visual Future of State Management
summary
State modeling with XState shows concrete wins: a real editable component is rebuilt from nested useReducer to a machine, then run with useMachine hook; transitions use an assign action to update context; the XState visualizer and xstate inspect open a live iframe or popout window showing state, events and sequence diagrams in real time. The machine prevents impossible states, deduplicates event handling, and the demo works end-to-end; future work promises drag‑and‑drop editing and a shared machine registry.
