Callbacks

Callbacks are lists of callables.

Reference calls them when something interesting happens.

To register a callable simply add it to the list.

 List of callbacks called before transition is invoked. More...

Detailed Description

Reference to one or more state machines.

Allows you to invoke transitions in the easy way by calling methods on this reference object. This is syntactic sugar only, nothing really happens here.

$id is per machine type unique identifier. It is always a single literal or an array of literals for compound primary keys.

Method call on this class invokes the transition.

Read-only properties:

Read one property (will load all of them): $ref['property']

Flush property cache: unset($ref->properties);

Constructor & Destructor Documentation

__construct ( AbstractMachine  $machine,
  $id = null 
)

Create reference and initialize it with given ID.

To copy a reference use clone keyword.

/

Todo:
Check $id to be made of scalar values only.

Here is the call graph for this function:

Member Function Documentation

static createPreheatedReference (   $machine,
  $properties 
)
static

Create pre-heated reference.

Warning
This may break things a lot. Be careful.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

isNullRef ( )

Returns true if reference points only to machine type.

Such reference may not be used to modify any machine, however, it can be used to invoke 'create'-like transitions.

Here is the caller graph for this function:

__call (   $name,
  $arguments 
)

Function call is transition invocation.

Just forward it to backend.

When transition returns new ID, the reference is updated to keep it pointing to the same state machine.

Here is the call graph for this function:

__get (   $key)

Get data from machine.

If you want to retrieve both state and properties, ask for properties first. The state may get pre-cached.

Member Data Documentation

$pk_changed_cb = array()

List of callbacks called when reference primary key changes.

Just append callable to this array:

$ref->on_pk_change[] = function($ref, $new_pk) { };

$before_transition_cb = array()

List of callbacks called before transition is invoked.

Just append callable to this array:

$ref->on_pk_change[] = function($ref, $transition_name, $arguments) { };

$after_transition_cb = array()

List of callbacks called after transition is invoked.

Just append callable to this array:

$ref->on_pk_change[] = function($ref, $transition_name, $arguments, $return_value, $returns) { };
