ministry_of_state

Modern ActiveRecord state machine plugin

Ruby

= ministry_of_state

Because State machines are simple, they do not have to be greater than 2000 lines of code (and complexity).

= Features

Supports rails4 now. No changes required.
Events are wrapped in a transaction and record is locked before going for a state change.
Ignores dirty attributes while going for state change. This means unlike AASM you can’t use an event transition as shorthand of save.
Events and states can be inherited across classes.
Simple 136 lines of code, covered with close to > 98% test coverage.

= Using it

  include MinistryOfState
  ministry_of_state('status') do

    add_state :pending_payment

    add_event(:activate) do
      transitions(:from => :pending, :to => :active)
    end
  end
end
