What You'll Build
You will take an application called Photobook from comp to working application. The app has many of the features that you would expect to find in apps today: authentication, data fetching, CRUD actions, automated tests, and more.
Using xstate and react-automata, you will cover all of the important features of statecharts: parallel states, hierarchical states, history states, and guards.
What You'll Learn
In this course, you'll learn how to use state machines and statecharts to better design the state of your applications. Though we make heavy use of React and react-automata, the principles and ideas of this course translate across languages and frameworks.
At the end of this course, you will be able to answer all of the following questions:
- What are state machines and statecharts?
- How can I leverage statecharts to build complex, modern web applications?
- What do statecharts give me that other state management tools do not?
- How can I approach refactoring my applications to use statecharts?
- How do I test statecharts?
Who is this for?
The goal of this course is to take intermediate to advanced JavaScript developers, particularly those interested in React, and give you the knowledge and tools to start using state machines and statecharts to build more predictable applications.
I believe this course will be particularly useful to developers who are:
- Frustrated by the difficulty of maintaining complex state in your applications
- Front-end JavaScript developers looking to level-up
- Backend developers interested in front-end state management
- JavaScript developers looking to advance their careers
