Statifier - SCXML State Machines for Elixir

⚠️ Active Development Notice
This project is still under active development and things may change even though it is passed version 1. APIs, features, and behaviors may evolve as we continue improving SCXML compliance and functionality.

An Elixir implementation of SCXML (State Chart XML) state charts with a focus on W3C compliance.

Installation

Add statifier to your list of dependencies in mix.exs:

def deps do
  [
    {:statifier, "~> 1.9"}
  ]
end

For comprehensive examples and usage patterns, see the Getting Started Guide.

Quick Example

# Simple traffic light state machine
xml = """
<scxml initial="red">
  <state id="red">
    <transition event="timer" target="green"/>
  </state>
  <state id="green">
    <transition event="timer" target="yellow"/>
  </state>
  <state id="yellow">
    <transition event="timer" target="red"/>
  </state>
</scxml>
"""

# Parse and initialize
{:ok, document, _warnings} = Statifier.parse(xml)
{:ok, state_chart} = Statifier.initialize(document)

# Check active state
Statifier.active_leaf_states(state_chart)
# MapSet.new(["red"])

# Send events to transition between states  
{:ok, state_chart} = Statifier.send_sync(state_chart, "timer")

# Check active state
Statifier.active_leaf_states(state_chart)
# MapSet.new(["green"])
