module StateMachines
  # Represents a module which will get evaluated within the context of a state.
  #
  # Class-level methods are proxied to the owner class, injecting a custom
  # <tt>:if</tt> condition along with method.  This assumes that the method has
  # support for a set of configuration options, including <tt>:if</tt>.  This
  # condition will check that the object's state matches this context's state.
  #
  # Instance-level methods are used to define state-driven behavior on the
  # state's owner class.
  #
  # == Examples
  #
  #   class Vehicle
  #     class << self
  #       attr_accessor :validations
  #
  #       def validate(options, &block)
  #         validations << options
  #       end
  #     end
  #
  #     self.validations = []
  #     attr_accessor :state, :simulate
  #
  #     def moving?
  #       self.class.validations.all? {|validation| validation[:if].call(self)}
  #     end
  #   end
  #
  # In the above class, a simple set of validation behaviors have been defined.
  # Each validation consists of a configuration like so:
  #
  #   Vehicle.validate :unless => :simulate
  #   Vehicle.validate :if => lambda {|vehicle| ...}
  #
  # In order to scope validations to a particular state context, the class-level
  # +validate+ method can be invoked like so:
  #
  #   machine = StateMachines::Machine.new(Vehicle)
  #   context = StateMachines::StateContext.new(machine.state(:first_gear))
  #   context.validate(:unless => :simulate)
  #
  #   vehicle = Vehicle.new     # => #<Vehicle:0xb7ce491c @simulate=nil, @state=nil>
  #   vehicle.moving?           # => false
  #
  #   vehicle.state = 'first_gear'
  #   vehicle.moving?           # => true
  #
  #   vehicle.simulate = true
  #   vehicle.moving?           # => false

    # example:
    #
    #   state_machine do
    #     state :parked do
    #       transition :to => :idling, :on => [:ignite, :shift_up]                          # Transitions to :idling
    #       transition :from => [:idling, :parked], :on => :park, :unless => :seatbelt_on?  # Transitions to :parked if seatbelt is off
    #     end
