XState v6 alpha
Input and restored snapshots
Start React actors with input or persisted state.
XState v6 is in alpha
APIs and behavior may change before the stable release.
Pass actor options as the second hook argument.
const [snapshot, send] = useActor(machine, {
input: { userId },
snapshot: persistedSnapshot
});Actor input creates new initial state. A persisted snapshot restores earlier state. Do not pass both when the restored snapshot already contains the needed data.
Use input to start a profile actor for one userId. Use a restored snapshot to resume a checkout after a refresh.
The same options are available on an actor context provider.
<AppActor.Provider options={{ input: { userId } }}>
<Page />
</AppActor.Provider>
