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
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
@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...

Let's see the translation to code...
