README

This library allows you to build a state machine whose state depends on the current time.

What's it for?

If you have components that are supposed to automatically change behaviour based on time, this is for you.

Example use case:

A competition that accepts entries during a certain interval, but must reject entries otherwise. Say this competition then has a voting stage after the entries have been submitted, and once the voting has finished it will pick winners and display them.

Caveats

• Overlaps

  It it recommended that you don't have overlapping intervals.

  This library doesn't check for overlaps. If your states overlap the behaviour is undefined. In the future the library may check and forbid overlaps.
