About StateForward Python

StateForward Python is where code complexity meets simplicity. This library is your ally in evolving spaghetti code into elegant, robust state machines. Say goodbye to the dense forest of if-else statements and welcome a world where adding features doesn’t mean unraveling a complex knot.

With StateForward Python, you’re building on solid ground. Your code becomes a clear map of states and transitions, making it easily extendable and a joy to maintain. It's about writing software that grows with grace, ensuring that your project's future is as structured and reliable as its present.

Usage

import stateforward as sf
import asyncio


class OnEvent(sf.Event):
    pass


class OffEvent(sf.Event):
    pass


class LightSwitch(sf.AsyncStateMachine):
    class On(sf.State):
        @sf.decorators.behavior
        async def entry(self, event: OnEvent):
            print("Light on entry")

        @sf.decorators.behavior
        async def exit(self, event: OffEvent):
            print("Light on exit")

    class Off(sf.State):
        @sf.decorators.behavior
        async def entry(self, event: OnEvent):
            print("Light off entry")

        @sf.decorators.behavior
        async def exit(self, event: OffEvent):
            print("Light off exit")

    initial = sf.initial(Off)
    transitions = sf.collection(
        sf.transition(OnEvent, source=Off, target=On),
        sf.transition(OffEvent, source=On, target=Off),
    )


async def main():
    # instantiate a light switch
    light_switch = LightSwitch()
    # start the interpreter and wait for it to be settled
    await light_switch.interpreter.start()
    # output the current states of the state machine
    print(light_switch.state)
    # dispatch a OnEvent to the state machine
    await sf.send(OnEvent(), light_switch)
    # output the current states of the state machine
    print(light_switch.state)
    # dispatch a OffEvent to the state machine
    await sf.send(OffEvent(), light_switch)
    print(light_switch.state)


asyncio.run(main())
