BlackMali.StateMachine.Autofac 1.0.0

StateMachine

Simple state machine implementation in C# (.NET 6).

Advantages:

• DI ready
• Async Pattern
• Safe programming with nullable types
• Works without constants and enums
• Builder for state machine creation
• Configuration of states and transitions
• Strict (default) and open transitions
• more than 95% code coverage

NuGet

You should install BlackMali.StateMachine with NuGet:

Install-Package BlackMali.StateMachine

Or via the .NET Core command line interface:

dotnet add package BlackMali.StateMachine

Configuration

public class SlotMachine
{
	private readonly IStateMachine _stateMachine;

	public SlotMachine(IStateMachineBuilder builder)
	{
		// With registration -> AddState<LockState>()
		builder.AddState<LockState>()
			.AddStartTransition();
			.AddInStateTransition()
			.AddTransition<UnLockState>()
			.AddTransition<EndState>();

		// Without registration -> AddState(new UnLockState())
		builder.AddState(new UnLockState())
			.AddInStateTransition()
			.AddTransition<LockState>()
			.AddTransition<EndState>();

		// Create state machine
		_stateMachine = builder.Build();
	}
}

State change

await machine.Transmit<LockState>();

// OR with Event

await machine.Transmit<LockState>(new StateMachineEvent());

// Posts an event to the current status

await machine.Post(new StateMachineEvent());

State implementation

internal class LockState 
	: State // you can also use the interface IState without overrides
{
	// optional:
	public override async Task OnEnter(IStateMachineContext context)
	{
		await base.OnEnter(context);

		Console.WriteLine("Please insert coin");
	}

	// optional:
	public override async Task<IState?> OnTransmitted(IStateMachineContext context, StateMachineEvent @event)
	{
		var unLockEvent = @event as UnLockEvent;
		if (unLockEvent == null)
			return null;

		// No state change...
		if (unLockEvent.Coin == null)
			return null;

		// State change to UnLockState
		return await context.GetState<UnLockState>();
	}

	// optional:
	public override async Task OnExit(IStateMachineContext context)
	{
		// Do something...

		await Task.CompletedTask;
	}
}
