State Machine for Confirmation Dialog

Running through the workshop example of Build A Confirmation Modal in React with State Machines

Notes

• In principal, like the idea of representation this kinds of logic “Flows”
• Usage of strings for state is less than ideal, almost would want it to be objects
• Pattern of constructing a “flow” then making use of the “flow”
• Potential opportunities with systems like codegen
• Possible ideas for test evaluation with the states
• Not sure about this library, needs opportunities for isolation
• Feels like it doesn’t fit with the View -> ViewModel -> Model concept I was thinking of for State Machines
• The ‘dispatcher’ works similar to what a wrapper over “Modal” would have, what benefits does it bring?
• Consider looking into eventing systems instead, they seem to better encapsulate this idea without strictness of the “machine structure”
• Maybe this could work better when combined with message passing + code generation?
