Overview

An event defines an action that transitions an attribute from one state to another. The state that an attribute is transitioned to depends on the branches configured for the event.

Instance Method Details

#can_fire?(object, requirements = {}) ⇒ Boolean

Determines whether any transitions can be performed for this event based on the current state of the given object.

If the event can’t be fired, then this will return false, otherwise true.

Note that this will not take the object context into account. Although a transition may be possible based on the state machine definition, object-specific behaviors (like validations) may prevent it from firing.

Returns:

  • (Boolean)

127
 
# File 'lib/enum_state_machine/event.rb', line 125

def can_fire?(object, requirements = {})
  !transition_for(object, requirements).nil?
end

#context(&block) ⇒ Object

Evaluates the given block within the context of this event. This simply provides a DSL-like syntax for defining transitions.

87
 
# File 'lib/enum_state_machine/event.rb', line 85

def context(&block)
  instance_eval(&block)
end

#draw(graph, options = {}) ⇒ Object

Draws a representation of this event on the given graph. This will create 1 or more edges on the graph for each branch (i.e. transition) configured.

Configuration options:

  • :human_name - Whether to use the event’s human name for the node’s label that gets drawn on the graph

  branches.each do |branch|
    branch.draw(graph, options[:human_name] ? human_name : name, valid_states)
  end
  
  true
end

#fire(object, *args) ⇒ Object

Attempts to perform the next available transition on the given object. If no transitions can be made, then this will return false, otherwise true.

Any additional arguments are passed to the EnumStateMachine::Transition#perform instance method.

    transition.perform(*args)
  else
    on_failure(object)

  end
end

#initialize_copy(orig) ⇒ Object

Creates a copy of this event in addition to the list of associated branches to prevent conflicts across events within a class hierarchy.

  @branches = @branches.dup
  @known_states = @known_states.dup
end

#inspect ⇒ Object

Generates a nicely formatted description of this event’s contents.

For example,

event = EnumStateMachine::Event.new(machine, :park)
event.transition all - :idling => :parked, :idling => same
event   # => #<EnumStateMachine::Event name=:park transitions=[all - :idling => :parked, :idling => same]>

    branch.state_requirements.map do |state_requirement|
      "#{state_requirement[:from].description} => #{state_requirement[:to].description}"
    end * ', '
  end
  
  "#<#{self.class} name=#{name.inspect} transitions=[#{transitions * ', '}]>"
end

#on_failure(object) ⇒ Object

Marks the object as invalid and runs any failure callbacks associated with this event. This should get called anytime this event fails to transition.

  state = machine.states.match!(object)
  machine.invalidate(object, :state, :invalid_transition, [[:event, human_name(object.class)], [:state, state.human_name(object.class)]])
  
  Transition.new(object, machine, name, state.name, state.name).run_callbacks(:before => false)
end

#reset ⇒ Object

Resets back to the initial state of the event, with no branches / known states associated. This allows you to redefine an event in situations where you either are re-using an existing state machine implementation or are subclassing machines.

196
 
# File 'lib/enum_state_machine/event.rb', line 193

def reset
  @branches = []
  @known_states = []
end

#transition(options) ⇒ Object

Creates a new transition that determines what to change the current state to when this event fires.

Since this transition is being defined within an event context, you do not need to specify the :on option for the transition. For example:

state_machine do
  event :ignite do
    transition :parked => :idling, :idling => same, :if => :seatbelt_on? # Transitions to :idling if seatbelt is on
    transition all => :parked, :unless => :seatbelt_on?                  # Transitions to :parked if seatbelt is off
  end
end

See EnumStateMachine::Machine#transition for a description of the possible configurations for defining transitions.

Raises:

  • (ArgumentError)

  branches << branch = Branch.new(options.merge(:on => name))
  @known_states |= branch.known_states
  branch
end

#transition_for(object, requirements = {}) ⇒ Object

Finds and builds the next transition that can be performed on the given object. If no transitions can be made, then this will return nil.

Valid requirement options:

  • :from - One or more states being transitioned from. If none are specified, then this will be the object’s current state.

  • :to - One or more states being transitioned to. If none are specified, then this will match any to state.

  • :guard - Whether to guard transitions with the if/unless conditionals defined for each one. Default is true.
