FAQ
Example:
In general, it is recommended to use always a project to download your libraries. In an application normally there is more than one library needed.
- Some hosting areas are not accessible by a terminal or SSH. Then it is not possible to use Composer.
- To use Composer is sometimes complicated. Especially for beginners.
- Composer needs much resources. Sometimes they are not available on a simple webspace.
- If you are using private repositories you don't need to share your credentials. You can set up everything on our site and then you provide a simple download link to your team member.
- Simplify your Composer build process. Use our own command line tool to download the vendor folder as binary. This makes your build process faster and you don't need to expose your credentials for private repositories.
Informations about the package statemachine
State Machine
This component implements a Finite State Machine, which can define several states and group them in a collection of transitions (from one state to another state). In addition, each state can have a conditional allowing move to another state.
Differently from other State machines, this implementation doesn't have an initial or final state.
Basic Example
Let's use the following example.
We have the states A, B, C, and D, and it's their possible transitions.
First, we create the states:
Then, we define the transitions. Note that each transition object can have a closure
that receives a mixed type data. This closure needs to return true or false,
allowing or not the transition.
After creating the states and the transition, we can create the State Machine:
We can validate the transition using the method canTransition($from, $to). Some examples:
We can also check if a state is initial or final:
Other ways to create the State Machine
Alternatively, you can create the state machine using the createMachine factory method with arguments as follows:
Using the Auto Transition
Another feature of this component is that depending on the state you are in and the data you pass to the state machine, it can decide what is the next state you can be.
Let's analyze the following states.
The transition is only possible if some conditions are satisfied. So, let's create the state, the possible transitions and its conditions.
The method autoTransitionFrom will check if is possible do the transition with the actual data
and to what state.
When auto transitioned the state object returned have the ->getData() with the data used to validate it.
Also, it is possible create the transition with a closure to process the state.
