bpmachine

bpmachine is a ruby gem created to act as a state machine for the application in order to control each status of whole process.

It was made to work with activerecord but it will work with any class that implements the save! method.

Add it to your Gemfile

gem "bpmachine"

Include the ProcessSpecification module in your class:

class MyClass
  include ProcessSpecification
end

Define your process

include ProcessSpecification
process :of => :anything do
  transition :some_event, :from => :initial, :to => :final
end

The gem will look for a AnythingSteps in the app/steps directory and run the some_event method, changing the object status of MyClass from :initial to :final.

• around: called around each transition
• after_processes: called at the end of the workflow

class MyClass
  include ProcessSpecification

  after_processes do |instance|
    puts 'All is done'
  end

  around do |transition, instance, block|
    logger.tagged transition[:method] do
      logger.info "Going from #{instance.status} to #{transition[:target]}"
      block.call
    end
  end
end
