State Machines
Explore how to build and manage complex state logic in TypeScript using state machines. Learn to represent all app states as a directed graph, implement transitions with a type-safe reducer, and use discriminated unions to ensure compile-time error detection, helping you write clearer and safer frontend state management code.

Managing the state is one of the hardest parts of frontend development. Many frameworks and libraries have been created to help with this task. One of the proposed approaches is to utilize state machines. A state machine is a directed graph where nodes represent all possible states of a view or of the whole app, and where edges represent possible transitions between the states.
