#perform(*args) ⇒ Object

  # Run the transition
  !!TransitionCollection.new([self], { use_transactions: machine.use_transactions, actions: run_action }).perform
end

#persist ⇒ Object

Transitions the current value of the state to that specified by the transition. Once the state is persisted, it cannot be persisted again until this transition is reset.

Example

class Vehicle
  state_machine do
    event :ignite do
      transition :parked => :idling
    end
  end
end

vehicle = Vehicle.new
transition = StateMachines::Transition.new(vehicle, Vehicle.state_machine, :ignite, :parked, :idling)
transition.persist

vehicle.state   # => 'idling'

#qualified_from_name ⇒ Object

# File 'lib/state_machines/transition.rb', line 104

def qualified_to_name

end

#reset ⇒ Object

Resets any tracking of which callbacks have already been run and whether the state has already been persisted

  @paused_fiber = nil
  @resuming = false
  @continuation_block = nil
  @fiber_thread_storage = nil
end

#resumable? ⇒ Boolean

Checks whether this transition has a paused fiber that can be resumed. Returns true if there is a paused fiber, false otherwise.

Note: The actual resuming happens automatically when run_callbacks is called again on a transition with a paused fiber.

Returns:

  • (Boolean) 


328
329
330
 
# File 'lib/state_machines/transition.rb', line 328

def resumable?
  paused?
end

#resume!(&block) ⇒ Object

Manually resumes the execution of a previously paused callback. Returns true if the transition was successfully resumed and completed, false if there was no paused fiber, and raises an exception if the transition was halted.

def resume!(&block)
  return false unless paused?

  # Store continuation block if provided
  @continuation_block = block if block_given?

  # Run the pausable block which will resume the fiber
  halted = pausable { true }

  # Return whether the transition completed successfully
  !halted
end

#rollback ⇒ Object

Rolls back changes made to the object’s state via this transition. This will revert the state back to the from value.

Example

class Vehicle
  state_machine :initial => :parked do
    event :ignite do
      transition :parked => :idling
    end
  end
end

vehicle = Vehicle.new     # => #<Vehicle:0xb7b7f568 @state="parked">
transition = StateMachines::Transition.new(vehicle, Vehicle.state_machine, :ignite, :parked, :idling)

# Persist the new state
vehicle.state             # => "parked"
transition.persist
vehicle.state             # => "idling"

# Roll back to the original state
transition.rollback
vehicle.state             # => "parked"

# File 'lib/state_machines/transition.rb', line 281

def rollback
  reset
  machine.write(object, :state, from)
end

#run_callbacks(options = {}, &block) ⇒ Object

Runs the before / after callbacks for this transition. If a block is provided, then it will be executed between the before and after callbacks.

Configuration options:

  • before - Whether to run before callbacks.

  • after - Whether to run after callbacks. If false, then any around callbacks will be paused until called again with after enabled. Default is true.

This will return true if all before callbacks gets executed. After callbacks will not have an effect on the result.
