Should I use Sender<...> to type send?

[RafalFilipek]

Hi!

xstate: 4.13.0
@xstate/react 1.0.1
ts: 4.0.2

Should I use Sender<...> to type send function from useService?

Quick example: https://codesandbox.io/s/competent-northcutt-w1fe7?file=/src/App.tsx

This example works just fine with @xstate/react: 0.8.1

Thank you

Send is just a simple function that takes a single argument - if u need to create a compatible type somewhere where u cant rely in inference then I would suggest using exactly that: a simple function type

So just like that?

type Props = {
- send: Service['send'];
+ send: (event: Event) => void;
}

I'm ok with that, but Service['send'] was quite convenient many cases.

type Service = Interpreter<Context, any, ValueOf<Events>>;

With Service I have acces to send, context and created with useService service itself.

Sure - if u are fine with creating such a type then its OK as well. Both approaches are IMHO better than Sender as the Sender introduces unneccessary mental overhead (new thing to learn for readers) for a very little gain.
