This package contains AASM, a library for adding finite state machines to Ruby classes.
AASM started as the acts_as_state_machine plugin but has evolved into a more generic library that no longer targets only ActiveRecord models.
AASM has the following features:
-
States
-
Machines
-
Events
-
Transitions
The latest AASM can currently be pulled from the git repository on github.
A release and a gem are forthcoming.
% sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com # (you only need to do this once) % sudo gem install rubyist-aasm
% rake gem % sudo gem install pkg/aasm-0.0.2.gem
Here’s a quick example highlighting some of the features.
class Conversation include AASM aasm_initial_state :new aasm_state :new aasm_state :read aasm_state :closed aasm_event :view do transitions :to => :read, :from => [:new] end aasm_event :close do transitions :to => :closed, :from => [:read, :new] end end
