Class Method Details

.included(klass) ⇒ Object

Sets up an object with Stately. The DSL is parsed and the Stately::Machine is initialized.

When an object is first initialized, Stately automatically sets the state attribute to the start state.

Additionally, a method is defined for each of the state’s actions. These methods are used to transition between states. If you have a state named ‘completed’, Stately will infer the action to be ‘complete’ and define a method named ‘complete’. You can then call ‘complete’ on the object to transition into the completed state.
