README

Finite is a Simple State Machine, written in PHP. It can manage any Stateful object by defining states and transitions between these states.

Features

Managing State/Transition graph for an object
Defining and retrieving properties for states
Event Listenable transitions
Symfony2 integration
Custom state graph loaders
Twig Extension

Documentation

Documentation for master (1.1)

Getting started

Installation (via composer)

{
      "require": {
        "yohang/finite": "~1.1"
    }
}

Version note :

If your are using this library in a Symfony project, 1.1 version is only compatible with Symfony >=2.6. 1.0 is compatible with Symfony >=2.3, <2.6.

Define your Stateful Object

Your stateful object just need to implement the StatefulInterface Interface.

use Finite\StatefulInterface;

class Document implements StatefulInterface
{
        private $state;
        public function setFiniteState($state)
        {
                $this->state = $state;
        }

        public function getFiniteState()
        {
            return $this->state;
        }
}

Initializing a simple StateMachine

use Finite\StateMachine\StateMachine;
use Finite\State\State;
use Finite\State\StateInterface;

// $document = retrieve your stateful object

$sm = new StateMachine();

// Define states
$sm->addState(new State('s1', StateInterface::TYPE_INITIAL));
$sm->addState('s2');
$sm->addState('s3');
$sm->addState(new State('s4', StateInterface::TYPE_FINAL));

// Define transitions
$sm->addTransition('t12', 's1', 's2');
$sm->addTransition('t23', 's2', 's3');
$sm->addTransition('t34', 's3', 's4');
$sm->addTransition('t42', 's4', 's2');

// Initialize
$sm->setObject($document);
$sm->initialize();

// Retrieve current state
$sm->getCurrentState();

// Can we process a transition ?
$sm->can('t34');
