Feature: Pass a dispatch function into Machine render #3

Closed ShMcK closed 6 years ago

If extstate is to store data much like Redux, should there be a way that this data can be updated without a statechart transition? Would it be a good idea to also pass dispatch into the Machine render method?

I'm not sure what you mean by dispatch. The consumer components have access to a transition callback, which sends an event to the xstate machine just as Redux dispatch sends an action to Redux reducers.

It's probably a good idea to pass the underlying XStateful instance's setExtState to consumer components too, which would allow them to update extstate as you suggest. I'll do this in the next day or so I hope.

Added setExtState to consumer components, released in v0.6.0.
