class EnumStateMachine::Branch

Represents a set of requirements that must be met in order for a transition or callback to occur. Branches verify that the event, from state, and to state of the transition match, in addition to if/unless conditionals for an object's state.

Attributes

event_requirement[R]

The requirement for verifying the event being matched

if_condition[R]

The condition that must be met on an object

known_states[R]

A list of all of the states known to this branch. This will pull states from the following options (in the same order):

  • from / except_from

  • to / except_to

state_requirements[R]

One or more requirements for verifying the states being matched. All requirements contain a mapping of {:from => matcher, :to => matcher}.

unless_condition[R]

The condition that must not be met on an object

Public Instance Methods

draw(graph, event, valid_states) click to toggle source

Draws a representation of this branch on the given graph. This will draw an edge between every state this branch matches from to either the configured to state or, if none specified, then a loopback to the from state.

For example, if the following from states are configured:

  • idling

  • first_gear

  • backing_up

…and the to state is parked, then the following edges will be created:

  • idling -> parked

  • first_gear -> parked

  • backing_up -> parked

Each edge will be labeled with the name of the event that would cause the transition.

    # File lib/enum_state_machine/branch.rb
143 def draw(graph, event, valid_states)
144   state_requirements.each do |state_requirement|
145     # From states determined based on the known valid states
146     from_states = state_requirement[:from].filter(valid_states)
147     
148     # If a to state is not specified, then it's a loopback and each from
149     # state maps back to itself
150     if state_requirement[:to].values.empty?
151       loopback = true
152     else
153       to_state = state_requirement[:to].values.first
154       to_state = to_state ? to_state.to_s : 'nil'
155       loopback = false
156     end
157     
158     # Generate an edge between each from and to state
159     from_states.each do |from_state|
160       from_state = from_state ? from_state.to_s : 'nil'
161       graph.add_edges(from_state, loopback ? from_state : to_state, :label => event.to_s)
162     end
163   end

match(object, query = {}) click to toggle source

Attempts to match the given object / query against the set of requirements configured for this branch. In addition to matching the event, from state, and to state, this will also check whether the configured :if/:unless conditions pass on the given object.

If a match is found, then the event/state requirements that the query passed successfully will be returned. Otherwise, nil is returned if there was no match.

Query options:

  • :from - One or more states being transitioned from. If none are specified, then this will always match.

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

  • :on - One or more events that fired the transition. If none are specified, then this will always match.

  • :guard - Whether to guard matches with the if/unless conditionals defined for this branch. Default is true.

Examples

branch = EnumStateMachine::Branch.new(:parked => :idling, :on => :ignite)

branch.match(object, :on => :ignite)  # => {:to => ..., :from => ..., :on => ...}
branch.match(object, :on => :park)    # => nil
    # File lib/enum_state_machine/branch.rb
118 def match(object, query = {})
119   assert_valid_keys(query, :from, :to, :on, :guard)
120   
121   if (match = match_query(query)) && matches_conditions?(object, query)
122     match
123   end
124 end
matches?(object, query = {}) click to toggle source

Determines whether the given object / query matches the requirements configured for this branch. In addition to matching the event, from state, and to state, this will also check whether the configured :if/:unless conditions pass on the given object.

Examples

branch = EnumStateMachine::Branch.new(:parked => :idling, :on => :ignite)

# Successful

branch.matches?(object, :from => :parked)                                 # => true
branch.matches?(object, :to => :idling)                                   # => true

branch.matches?(object, :on => :ignite, :from => :parked, :to => :idling) # => true

# Unsuccessful

Protected Instance Methods

build_matcher(options, whitelist_option, blacklist_option) click to toggle source

Builds a matcher strategy to use for the given options. If neither a whitelist nor a blacklist option is specified, then an AllMatcher is built.

178   elsif options.include?(blacklist_option)
179     value = options[blacklist_option]
180     raise ArgumentError, ":#{blacklist_option} option cannot use matchers; use :#{whitelist_option} instead" if value.is_a?(Matcher)

200   matches_requirement?(query, :on, event_requirement)
201 end
match_query(query) click to toggle source
