State Machine

A dead simple State Machine PHP package.

Installation

To install, just add this to your composer.json:

"require": {
    "esampaio/state-machine":"master"
}

Usage

PHP version 5.3

If you are running PHP 5.3 you need to inherit the StateMachine class:

<?php

use Esampaio\StateMachine\StateMachine;

class MyClass extends StateMachine
{

PHP version 5.4

If you are running PHP version 5.4, just use the Trait:

use Esampaio\StateMachine\Traits\StateMachine;

class MyClass
{
    use StateMachine;

Annotations

To add your possible states and transitions, use the following annotations:

use Esampaio\StateMachine\Traits\StateMachine;
use Esampaio\StateMachine\States;
use Esampaio\StateMachine\Transition;

/**
 * @States(states = {"requested", "approved", "rejected"})
 * @Transition(state = "requested", transitions = {"approved", "rejected"})
 */
class MyClass
{
    use StateMachine;

Magic!

The following methods will be created for each state:

$foo->isRequested(); // Check if foo's current state equals "requested"
$foo->canApproved(); // Check if foo's current state allows transition to "approved"
$foo->transitionRejected(); // Transitions current foo's state to "rejected"

Two methods are triggered when a transition happens, you may implement them if you want:

$foo->beforeRejected(); // Triggered before foo's state is changed into "rejected"
$foo->afterRejected(); // Triggered after foo's state is changed into "rejected"

Check the source code and/or tests to understand it better.
