StatemachineExtension

class StatemachineExtension

A StatemachineExtension defines a controller's statemachine by building on an inherited base statemachine instead of from scratch. It reuses the base lifecycle and adds or overrides only the parts specific to this controller.

Additional states and junctions

Additional flat states and junctions can be implemented.

State diagram

In StatemachineExtensions it is possible to create a merged diagram. All inherited elements are grayed out.

Create a diagram in a statemachine extension

To avoid having to draw the diagram of a stateExtension completely from scratch, the diagram of the basic controller can be copied.

• Open stateDiagram of the base controller
• Mark all with marquee
  
• Copy Layout
  
• Open / create diagram in the statemachineExtension
• Paste layout
  
  
• If StateOverrides or StateExtensions already exist, they can now be drawn or moved as desired.
