"$$initial" event discussion.

Hey @devanshj, in this example, TypeScript is erroring because of the “$$initial” event:

const [machine, send] = useStateMachine({
  schema: {
    context: t<{time: number}>(),
    events: {
      STOP: t<{resetTime: number}>()
    }
  },
  context: {time: 0},
  initial: 'idle',
  states: {
    idle: {
      on: {
        START: 'running',
      },
      effect({setContext, event}) {
        setContext(() => ({ time: event?.resetTime }));
//                                       ^- Property 'resetTime' does not exist on type '{ type: "$$initial"; }'
      },
    },
    running: {
      on: {
        STOP: 'idle',
      }
    }
  },
});

send({ type: 'STOP', resetTime: 10 });

I think it might be confusing for the user to understand what’s going on here. And since so far we’re not really using the initial event to trigger anything, I’m thinking of reverting back to start undefined. Any objections?

Ah, on a different note: I merged the beta branch into main. I’m using Github’s wiki for documentation, and it’s not branch-based: Since I’m updating them I might as well make the development happen on main.

In the future I might need a different documentation solution.

It does make sense. closing, let’s keep the initial event.

Ha nice! A little late, already got another counter xD
