The article discusses building a composable, type-safe state machine library in TypeScript and demonstrates its usage in a UI flow.
It covers defining generic types for states, events, and transitions and creating a builder to register states and transitions.
The use of advanced TypeScript features like discriminated unions for states and events ensures compile-time error checking and guard checks allow for conditional transitions.
The importance of unit testing, error-recovery transitions, and the use of XState for advanced features like visualization tools and hierarchical states is also highlighted in the article.
