XState version
XState version 5
Description
The docs say that you can reuse a previous snapshot.toJSON(), to rehydrate a newly created machine: https://stately.ai/docs/xstate-react#persisted-and-rehydrated-state
However, when doing that, we get typescript errors regarding the type of the snapshot:
Is there something that can be done about this in userland?
IMO, there should be an easier way to simply resume a machine from a specific state, by simply passing the state key as a string or something. Having to pass a whole rehydrated snapshot should be for special cases.
The docs could also be clearer on this. For example, what is persistedState? Show the data structure. The docs say that the 2nd argument of useMachine is "actor options" but there is no link to the actor options. The docs are chaotic/overwhelming already, don't have the user search for what is an "actor option" config.
Expected result
To not get type errors
Actual result
Type errors when reusing a rehydrated previous snapshot
