Difference between ActorRefFrom and ActorLogicFrom type in V5

[bhvngt]

While working with v5, I often get confused with ActorRefFrom and ActorLogicFrom types and their use cases.

It will be great if we can have a documentation for these and other types that extracts specific type info from the machine config.

Sure, we will add documentation for that.

In short:

const actorRef = createActor(actorLogic);

The ActorRef is the live actor instance that you can send events to. The ActorLogic represents the logic of an actor.

E.g. a traffic light actor may have trafficLightMachine behavior that tells it how to transition between its red, yellow, green states, but there may be many live actor instances (actor refs) of that trafficLightMachine behavior.
