Statechart Driven UI Components with Zag.js

Overview

Learn how to build a pin-input component with state machines, Zag.js and React. We’ll look at modeling a UI component with state machines, implementing those in a framework agnostic way using Zag.js, and connect the logic to the UI component. This course is a must-watch if you’re unfamiliar with State machines, and want to learn how to use them to build UI components with ease. In this course, you will: - Learn fundamental concept of state machine, event and transition - Model a UI component with state machine - Connect state machine logic to UI - Manage DOM events in state machines - Create custom React hooks with state machines
