XState for Python - work in progress!

How to use


from xstate import Machine

lights = Machine(
    {
        "id": "lights",
        "initial": "green",
        "states": {
            "green": {"on": {"TIMER": "yellow"},},
            "yellow": {"on": {"TIMER": "red"}},
            "red": {"on": {"TIMER": "green"}},
        },
    }
)

state = lights.initial_state # state.value is green

state = lights.transition(state, "TIMER") # state.value is yellow
state = lights.transition(state, "TIMER") # state.value is red
state = lights.transition(state, "TIMER") # state.value is green again

Developing

You can set up your development environment in two different ways.

Using Remote Containers (recommended if you use VS Code)

Prerequisites

VS Code IDE and Remote Containers extension

Steps

Open the folder in a container. This will setup your environment with python (including python and pylance extensions), dependencies and download scxml tests.
Run poetry run pytest --cov to run the tests! 👩‍🔬 (or run the Run tests task via VS Code or using VS Code Test explorer where you can debug as well)

Or installing the environment on your local drive

Prerequisites

poetry for package and dependency management

Steps

Run poetry install to create a virtual environment
Make sure test files are present and up to date by running git submodule update --init
Run poetry run pytest --cov to run the tests! 👩‍🔬 (or run the Run tests task via VS Code or using VS Code Test explorer where you can debug as well)

SCXML

SCXML tests are ran from the SCION Test Framework module.
