State Machine


!StateMachine

Diligent developer, is it your work to create state machine from scratch or take care of poor state machine?
Let's be lazy.

Poor state (Before)	if (fsm.current === 'Doing' || fsm.curent === 'Waiting' || ...) { showProgress(); } if (fsm.current === 'Complete') { showResult(); } if (fsm.current === 'Error') { showError(); } if (fsm.current === 'Cancel') { showCanceled(); } ...
Rich state (After)	if (fsm.current.inProgress) { showProgress(); } fsm.current.show();

What?

Finite state machine for JavaScript and TypeScript.

Why?

- Readable: state machine definition is so readable that you easily understand transitions
- Generic typing: states, actions and optional params
- Rich object state: user defined class can be state
- State with life-cycle: create/dispose
- Export statecharts: PlantUML
- Learning cost: basic takes only 1 step, rich state takes only 3 steps, full function takes 6 only steps to learn

Quick start

$3

``js
import { StateMachine } from '@working-sloth/state-machine';

enum SlothState {
Idle = 'Idle',
...
}

enum SlothAction {
Sleep = 'Sleep',
...
}

const fsm = StateMachine.fromString(
'Sloth State', // state machine name
SlothState.Idle, // start state
{
state: SlothState.Idle,
transitions: [
[SlothAction.Sleep, SlothState.Sleeping],
[SlothAction.Eat, SlothState.Eating],
]
}, {
state: SlothState.Sleeping,
transitions: [
[SlothAction.Wake, SlothState.Idle],
]
},
...
);

fsm.start(); // Don't forget

console.log(fsm.current); // You can get current state

if (fsm.can(SlothAction.Sleep)) {
fsm.do(SlothAction.Sleep);
}

I have a truly marvelous sample of this case which this margin is too narrow to contain.
