= AASM - Ruby state machines
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
== Download
The latest AASM can currently be pulled from the git repository on github.
* http://github.com/rubyist/aasm/tree/master
A release and a gem are forthcoming.
== Installation
=== From GitHub hosted gems
% sudo gem sources -a http://gems.github.com # (you only need to do this once)
% sudo gem install rubyist-aasm
=== Building your own gems
% rake gem
% sudo gem install pkg/aasm-2.0.1.gem
== Simple Example
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
