angular-viewstate v0.0.1

#angular-viewstate

A state machine suited for angular 1.x digest

Installation

Requires browserify or similar npm-based build system.

In the command line:

npm install angular-viewstate --save

In your angular composition:

angular.module('myModule', [])
  .factory('viewState', require('angular-viewstate');

Usage

function controller($scope) {

  // setup states
  var state = require('angular-viewstate)
    .state('LOADING')
    .state('READY')
    .state('SAVING')
    .flag('isLoading').expression('LOADING')
    .flag('isReady').expression('!LOADING').delay(10)
    .flag('isIdle').expression('READY')
    .finalise($scope);
    
  // change state
  state.go.LOADING()
  loadSomething()
    .then(...)
    .finally(state.go.READY);
}

Every state() that is defined will produce a method on the go object.

Every flag expression() is an angular $watch expression where any identifier is replaced by (viewState === "<identifier>"). When finalise() is called the watchers are installed on the given scope.
