When our application grows bigger, we need a way to maintain the complexity in dealing with the state of the application. State is the data that is manipulated and reflected by our running application. There are many ways to handle the state of the application in React. Some of the most popular state management libraries are Redux, Context API, React Query, Recoil, and XState.
In this article, we’ll use XState, as it’s one of the easiest and most efficient ways to handle state in any JavaScript application, rather than being framework agnostic. When using XState, we can easily leverage state machines for managing and designing global or component state.
What is a finite state machine?
Finite state machines are a mathematical model of computation, initially developed in the early 1940s, that have been used for decades to build both hardware and software for a wide variety of technologies. It helps us reduce the number of possible states and control the transition of moving the state, which results in a predictable and reliable application to work with.
The other benefit of working with a state machine is that they also have a visualizer to view the state in a diagram, called XState Visualizer, both before and/or after we have built it.
Prerequisites
- Familiarity with JavaScript and a basic understanding of ES6 syntax.
- Node.js installed on your machine
- NPM installed
In this tutorial, we will build a simple bookstore and implement all the necessary state needed to build that store. This store will involve all the CRUD (create, read, update, delete) functionality required to build general applications.
For the API endpoint, we will leverage the features provided by Airtable and use it to serve data for our application and style our app with Tailwind CSS.
Adding books state machine
Inside of our XState Visualizer, we’ll first write a simple state machine to create a new book for our book store:
export const addbookMachine = {
id: 'addBooks',
initial: 'addNew',
states: {
addNew: {},
adding: {
invoke: {
id: 'addingBook',
src: addingBook,
onDone: {
target: 'success',
actions: assign({ fields: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
onError: {
target: 'failed',
actions: assign({ error: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
},
},
success: {},
failed: {},
},
};
Visualizing this simple state machine, we can see when we are able to fill up the add a book form, which transitions its state from addNew to adding, and, based on that specific promise, we change to success and error. This is a simple state machine that can transition its state based on the success and failure when a function calls.
We will also create a function to determine whether our call was a success or failure. We already named it addingBook inside invoke in our state machine before.
const addingBook = (context, event) =>
new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
let result = await addTheBooks(context, event);
if (result.status === 200) {
resolve(result);
} else {
reject('books');
}
});
This promise resolves or rejects the function call that we provided to await for its value. If the response is 200, we will go to onDone; else, we will transition to OnError state.
Let’s also connect to our Airtable API to make this call. We will create a new folder and call it API, where we will place all the API calls needed for our application. Inside, there we will make a new file and call it addBook.
const addTheBooks = async (_context, event) => {
const { Name, Author, Published, Currency, Category } = event;
const formater = {
records: [
{
fields: { Name, Author, Published, Currency, Category },
},
],
};
const res = await fetch(process.env.REACT_APP_BASE_URL + 'Books', {
method: 'POST',
headers: new Headers({
Authorization: process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}),
body: JSON.stringify(formater),
});
return res;
};
export default addTheBooks;
Here, we called an API endpoint from our Airtable to POST the books we added. We have also added a formatter constant to structure the data format that the API takes. The form fields will be sent as a JSON payload to the formatter constant, which takes the fields values as a key value pair.
Lastly, to add books in our bookstore, we have created a component to add the book. This communicates with the state machine to flow in the specified states of the application.

We do obviously need our app to wrap with an XState provider. For this, you can still check the code repository shared below.
Updating a book state machine
In order to update our book details, we need to create two API calls: the first one to get the details of a single book and the second to submit a PATCH request to edit that particular book.
Let’s start by creating a fetchsinglebook.js file and write our machine code there:
export const fetchOneBookMachine = {
id: 'fetchonebook',
initial: 'start',
states: {
start: {},
fetching: {
invoke: {
id: 'getOneBook',
src: getOneBook,
onDone: {
target: 'success',
actions: assign({ list: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
onError: {
target: 'failed',
actions: assign({ error: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
},
},
editing: {
invoke: {
id: 'editOneBook',
src: editOneBook,
onDone: {
target: 'success',
actions: assign({ list: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
onError: {
target: 'failed',
actions: assign({ error: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
},
},
success: {},
failed: {},
},
};
This is what I really love about state machines. In a single glance of these nested object structures, we can understand what’s going on.
Learn more →We simply have added five states now, initially at the start state. When we invoke the function FETCH_A_BOOK, it transitions itself to fetching inside of fetchOneBookMachine.
In this similar way, we can also add PUT API requests once we enter the editing state. All of the state weather moves to success or failed state. We also need to create a promise to determine the function is onDone or onError state.
const getOneBook = (context, event) =>
new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
let result = await fetchSingleBook(context, event);
if (result.status === 200) {
resolve(result);
} else {
reject('book');
}
});
const editOneBook = (context, event) => {
new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
let result = await editTheBook(context, event);
if (result.status === 200) {
resolve(result);
} else {
reject('book');
}
});
};
Let’s also write our API calls for editing our books as well. Here, we also need two functions: one to grab values of a single book and second, add the values in a non-destructive way into our database.
const fetchSingleBook = async (props) => {
const { id } = props;
const res = await fetch(process.env.REACT_APP_BASE_URL + 'Books/' + id, {
method: 'GET',
headers: new Headers({
Authorization: process.env.REACT_APP_API_KEY,
'Content-Type': 'application/json',
}),
}).then((x) => x.json());
return res;
};
export default fetchSingleBook;
Finally, we will create our editbook component. Inside of it, we’ll use the useEffect hook to get a single book. That book is the same ID we clicked and visited on our route, which we will filter down from our state (updated when we get all the list of books).
import React, { useContext, useEffect, useState } from 'react';
import { MachineContext } from '../state/index';
import { useHistory } from "react-router-dom";
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
function Editbook(route) {
const [machine, sendToMachine] = useContext(MachineContext);
const id = route.match.params.id;
const [selectedBook, setSeletedBook] = useState({
id: '',
fields: {
Category: '',
Name: '',
Published: '',
Currency: '',
Author: '',
},
createdTime: '',
});
let history = useHistory();
useEffect(() => {
sendToMachine('FETCH_A_BOOK', { id });
const { books, error } = machine.context;
const list = books.records;
const filterObj = list.filter((list) => list.id === id);
setSeletedBook(filterObj[0]);
}, []);
const handleOnChange = (userKey, value) => {
setSeletedBook({ ...selectedBook, fields: { [userKey]: value } });
};
const editAbook = async () => {
sendToMachine('EDIT_A_BOOK', selectedBook);
history.push("/");
};

Deleting a book state machine
Let’s start with the machine for deleting our book. This will resemble a lot of other state machines we have created before. For deleting a book, we need a list of books fetched, so we will create two files.
The first one is for fetching all of the books, and the other is for deleting a book. We will add some states for our machine to achieve this.
export const removebookMachine = {
id: 'removebook',
initial: 'start',
states: {
start: {},
deleting: {
invoke: {
id: 'deletingBooks',
src: deletingBooks,
onDone: {
target: 'success',
actions: assign({ fields: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
onError: {
target: 'failed',
actions: assign({ error: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
},
},
success: {},
failed: {},
},
};
This snippet is for removing book machines. We will also add machine code for fetching all machines.
export const appMachine = Machine({
id: 'app',
initial: 'init',
context: {
books: [],
error: undefined,
fields: '',
},
states: {
init: {},
addbookMachine,
removebookMachine,
fetchOneBookMachine,
list: {
states: {
loading: {
invoke: {
id: 'fetchAllBooks',
src: fetchAllBooks,
onDone: {
target: 'success',
actions: assign({ books: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
onError: {
target: 'failed',
actions: assign({ error: (_context, event) => event.data }),
},
},
},
success: {},
failed: {},
},
},
},
on: {
LOAD_BOOKS: {
target: 'list.loading',
},
DELETE_BOOK: {
target: 'removebookMachine.deleting',
actions: assign((_ctx, evt) => ({
id: evt.id,
})),
}
},
});
As you may have noticed, we also imported other machine code with its named exports as well. This helps us in separating the state machine from one another.

import { MachineContext } from '../state/index';
import { Deleteicon } from './Deleteicon';
import { Link } from 'react-router-dom';
function Booklist() {
const [machine, sendToMachine] = useContext(MachineContext);
const { books, error } = machine.context;
const list = books.records;
useEffect(() => {
sendToMachine('LOAD_BOOKS');
// eslint-disable-next-line

const removeBook = (id) => {
sendToMachine('DELETE_BOOK', { id });

With this approach, we can create a simple fully working CRUD bookstore application. In it, we can store, edit, and delete the information regarding our books inside of Airtable.
Making use of XState, we can determine the finite number of states of the application and have better control overall.
Conclusion
As developers, we need external libraries to maintain the state of application. Using just the internal state of React using useState won’t be a solution, as this brings an event-based approach to code and there are many flaws we will face using it.
After all, we are making the state machine responsible for the transitions in order to make your application’s performance more robust. This ensures you only ever have one state at a time, that it’s one of your predefined states, and that it’s only possible to transition from a certain state to another if we explicitly enable that. So, we call this finite state machine.

LogRocket: Full visibility into your production React apps
Debugging React applications can be difficult, especially when users experience issues that are hard to reproduce. If you’re interested in monitoring and tracking Redux state, automatically surfacing JavaScript errors, and tracking slow network requests and component load time, try LogRocket.
LogRocket combines session replay, product analytics, and error tracking – empowering software teams to create the ideal web and mobile product experience. What does that mean for you?
Instead of guessing why errors happen, or asking users for screenshots and log dumps, LogRocket lets you replay problems as if they happened in your own browser to quickly understand what went wrong.
No more noisy alerting. Smart error tracking lets you triage and categorize issues, then learns from this. Get notified of impactful user issues, not false positives. Less alerts, way more useful signal.
The LogRocket Redux middleware package adds an extra layer of visibility into your user sessions. LogRocket logs all actions and state from your Redux stores.
