Initializing state to a runtime obtained value

[mattboardman]

My program writes out the current state to a file on every transition. If the program crashes (or needs to be rerun for any other reason) I want to read from the state and initialize the state machine to whatever value is read from the file.

Something like:

let maybe_cached_state: Option<MyState> = read_state_from_file();

if let Some(my_state) = maybe_cached_state {

    let host_machine = MyStateMachine::default()
          .uninitialized_state_machine()
          .init_override(my_state)
          .await;
}

Is there a way to do this with the library or would this be a feature request?

Hey, statig does implement serde. You could probably enable that and directly save the serialized state machine.

I'm going to assume that solved your issue. If not, feel free to re-open it 🙂
