- \section1 Instantiating State Machines
-
- Both the dynamically created and the compiled state machines behave in the
- same way, have the same properties, states, data model, and so on. They only
- differ in the way they are instantiated. To dynamically create one in C++
- from an SCXML file, you can use:
-
- \code
- auto *stateMachine = QScxmlStateMachine::fromFile("MyStatemachine.scxml");
- \endcode
-
- Or, in QML:
-
- \qml
- import Scxml 1.0
-
- Item {
- property QtObject stateMachine: scxmlLoader.stateMachine
-
- StateMachineLoader {
- id: scxmlLoader
- filename: "statemachine.scxml"
- }
- }
- \endqml
-
- A compiled state machine can be instantiated the same way as any C++
- object:
-
- \code
- auto *stateMachine = new MyStatemachine;
- \endcode
-
- Or:
-
- \code
- MyStatemachine stateMachine;
- \endcode
-
- To use a compiled state machine in QML, you can assign it to a context
- property:
-
- \code
- MyStatemachine stateMachine;
- QQmlApplicationEngine engine;
- engine.rootContext()->setContextProperty("stateMachine", &stateMachine);
- \endcode
-
- To compile a state machine, the following lines have to be added to a
- .pro file:
-
- \badcode
- QT += scxml
- STATECHARTS = MyStatemachine.scxml
- \endcode
-
- This will tell qmake to run \e qscxmlc which generates MyStatemachine.h
- and MyStatemachine.cpp, and adds them to \l [QMake] HEADERS and
- \l [QMake] SOURCES variables.
-
- After instantiating a state machine, you can connect to any state's
- active property as follows. For example, if the state machine for a
- traffic light has a state indicating that the light is red (which has the
- convenient id "red" in the scxml file), you can write:
-
- \code
- QObject::connect(stateMachine->red(), &QAbstractState::activeChanged,
- [stateMachine](){
- qDebug() << (stateMachine->red()->active() ? "entered" : "exited") << "the red state";
- });
- \endcode
-
- And in QML:
-
- \qml
- Light {
- id: greenLight
- color: "green"
- visible: stateMachine.green
- }
- \endqml
-
- If you want to be notified when a state machine sends out an event, you
- can connect to the corresponding signal. For example, for a media player
- state machine which indicates that playback has stopped by sending an
- event, you can write:
-
- \code
- QObject::connect(stateMachine, &MediaPlayer::playbackStopped, [](){
- qDebug() << "Stopped!";
- });
- \endcode
-
- And in QML:
-
- \qml
- Connections {
- target: stateMachine
- onPlaybackStopped: console.log("Stopped!")
- }
- \endqml
-
- Sending events to a state machine is equally simple. You can call (or
- connect to) the slot:
-
- \code
- stateMachine->tap(QVariantMap({
- std::make_pair("artist", "Fatboy Slim"),
- std::make_pair("title", "The Rockafeller Skank")
- });
- \endcode
-
- This will generate a "tap" event with the map contents available in
- _event.data inside the state machine. In QML:
-
- \code
- stateMacine.tap({
- "artist": "Fatboy Slim"
- "title": "The Rockafeller Skank"
- })
- \endcode
-
- Any invoked state machine with a name property will also show up as a
- property on its parent state machine.
-
- \section1 SCXML Compliance
-
- Qt SCXML supports the following data models:
-
- \list
- \li null data model, as described in B.1 of the \l {SCXML specification}
- \li ECMAScript data model, as described in B.2 of the
- \l {SCXML specification}
- \li C++ data model, as described in the QScxmlCppDataModel documentation
- \endlist
-
- The Qt SCXML implementation is SCXML compliant, with a few exceptions:
+ \section1 Articles and Guides
\list
- \li Event data (\c _event.data) is implemented as a QVariant. If parameters
- are passed to \c <send>, the QVariant holds a QVariantMap, so multiple
- parameters with the same name are not supported.
- \li There is no "raw" representation of an event.
- \li The (optional) basic http event I/O processor is not supported.
- \li The contents of a \c <script> tag and a \c <data> tag must be valid for
- the chosen data model. So, as an example: XML content inside <data> is
- not supported. However, the ECMAScript data model does support data in
- JSON format.
- \li The only service that can be instantiated with \c <invoke> is another
- SCXML state machine.
- \li To keep the behavior of dynamically created state machines and compiled
- state machines the same, the \e typeexpr and \e srcexpr attributes are
- not supported. Moreover, if a \c <content> tag is
- used inside an \c <invoke> tag, that content must be XML. Specifically,
- dynamically creating SCXML, for example by concatenating strings with
- the ECMAScript data model, is not supported.
+ \li \l {Qt SCXML Overview}
+ \li \l {Instantiating State Machines}
+ \li \l {SCXML Compliance}
\endlist
- The Qt SCXML implementation extends SCXML in the following ways:
-
- \list
- \li For communication purposes the \c <send> tag supports an extra
- value \c "qt:signal" accepted by the attribute \c type.
- The generated state machine or the state machine which has loaded
- the SCXML file dynamically will contain corresponding
- signal, the name of which will be equal to the value of the
- \e event attribute inside the \c <send> tag.
- All of the \c <param> children will be placed inside the
- QMap<QString, QVariant> map, and this map will be passed as a
- QVariant argument of the mentioned signal.
- \li If the event is an error event, \c _event.errorMessage will contain a more
- detailed description of the error.
- \endlist
-
- \section1 Logging Categories
-
- The QtScxml module exports the following logging categories:
- \table
- \header
- \li Logging Category
- \li Description
- \row
- \li qscxmlLog
- \li Enables QtScxml module log
- \row
- \li scxmlLog
- \li Enables log of scxml documents
