Problems with this approach

Features are difficult to implement

Time will add bugs to the project

Understandability problems

@AxelMSadat95

So, how can we improve it ?

State machines and statecharts

@AxelMSadat95

State machines and statecharts

A tool for modeling visualization

Simplify some complex logics and helps to understand complex systems

Give more insurance in adding new features and changes to a system

JavaScript and TypeScript finite state machines and statecharts for the modern web.

XState

@AxelMSadat95

Advantages

XState

Easy to understand and to implement single source of truth

Avoid side effects by making them declarative and explicit, promote purity and scalability

Visualizable because of his declarative nature

Portable and framework's agnostic due to his JSON serialization

Actor-model like approach to make many instances that communicates between them

Let's take another example using a Frichti component...

What are problems here ?

Features are difficult to implement

Time will add bugs to the project

Understandability problems

@AxelMSadat95

So, how did we improved it ?
