On top of our usual minor improvements and bug fixes, we’ve got great new features to share with you in July!

XState can be used wherever JavaScript runs, whether on the backend or frontend. Because the code it creates can be visualized, it’s great at handling complex use cases - being able to see what a complex piece of code does can be extremely useful.

Let’s look at each use case one-by-one.

Our latest update to the XState VS Code extension has made it easy to enable file nesting for typegen files. But what is file nesting?

We’ve had a busy month and have plenty to share with you this June!

What’s new to XState and Stately for May 2022?

A few weeks ago we uploaded a new video to the Stately YouTube channel showing how you can build basic video player functionality using XState and Stately tools. You can watch the video below or use the chapter links to jump to the chapter you want to watch.

If you use VSCodium, Coder, Gitpod or another editor with VSCode-compatible extensions, you can now install the XState VSCode extension from the Open VSX Registry.

Around a month ago, we released TypeScript Typegen - an enormous upgrade to the TypeScript experience for XState.

We’ve had a great response to it so far, but it’s only been available for VSCode users.

Until now. With our new XState CLI, you can get Typegen from the command line.

Modelling using statecharts changed my career as a dev. Of all the state management solutions I’ve tried, it feels the most complete, logical and robust. Even if you don’t use them in your app’s code, statecharts let you break down complex features into states, events, services, actions and guards.

XState and TypeScript are a match made in heaven. TypeScript gives you type safety, and XState gives you logical safety. Together, they give you confidence that your code will do what you expect.

However, we’ve been hearing from the community for some time that the experience of using TypeScript with XState needed improving.

Today's your lucky day. XState’s TypeScript experience just got an enormous upgrade.
