快速入门：构建你的第一个状态机

让我们通过一个简单的车辆状态机示例来了解 state_machine 的基本用法：

require 'state_machine'

class Vehicle
  attr_accessor :seatbelt_on
  
  state_machine :initial => :parked do
    # 转换前回调：从停车状态转换到其他状态时系安全带
    before_transition :parked => any - :parked, :do => :put_on_seatbelt
    
    # 转换后回调：转换到停车状态时解开安全带
    after_transition any => :parked do |vehicle, transition|
      vehicle.seatbelt_on = false
    end
    
    # 定义启动事件
    event :start do
      transition :parked => :idling
    end
    
    # 定义停车事件
    event :park do
      transition [:idling, :first_gear] => :parked
    end
    
    # 定义换挡事件
    event :shift_up do
      transition :idling => :first_gear, 
                 :first_gear => :second_gear, 
                 :second_gear => :third_gear
    end
    
    # 状态特定行为
    state :parked do
      def speed
        0
      end
    end
    
    state :idling, :first_gear do
      def speed
        10
      end
    end
  end
  
  def put_on_seatbelt
    @seatbelt_on = true
  end
end

状态机可视化

通过 state_machine 的 GraphViz 集成，我们可以生成状态转换图：

高级特性深度解析

1. 多状态机支持

state_machine 允许在单个类中定义多个独立的状态机，每个状态机都有自己的命名空间：

class Vehicle
  state_machine :state, :initial => :parked do
    event :start do
      transition :parked => :idling
    end
  end
  
  state_machine :alarm_state, :initial => :active, :namespace => 'alarm' do
    event :enable do
      transition all => :active
    end
    
    event :disable do
      transition all => :off
    end
  end
end

vehicle = Vehicle.new
vehicle.state_name              # => :parked
vehicle.alarm_state_name        # => :active
vehicle.disable_alarm           # 触发警报状态机事件

2. 条件转换与保护机制

state_machine 支持基于条件的转换，确保状态转换的安全性：

class Order
  state_machine :initial => :pending do
    event :approve do
      transition :pending => :approved, :if => :valid_for_approval?
    end
    
    event :reject do
      transition :pending => :rejected, :unless => :already_processed?
    end
    
    event :cancel do
      transition all - [:cancelled, :shipped] => :cancelled
    end
  end
  
  def valid_for_approval?
    total_amount > 0 && customer.valid?
  end
  
  def already_processed?
    processed_at.present?
  end
end

3. 完整的回调系统

state_machine 提供了丰富的回调机制，覆盖状态转换的各个阶段：

class Document
  state_machine :initial => :draft do
    # 转换前回调
    before_transition :draft => :reviewing, :do => :validate_content
    
    # 转换后回调
    after_transition :reviewing => :approved, :do => :notify_author
    
    # 环绕回调（包装整个转换过程）
    around_transition do |document, transition, block|
      Audit.log_transition_start(document, transition)
      block.call
      Audit.log_transition_end(document, transition)
    end
    
    # 失败回调
    after_failure :on => :publish, :do => :log_publish_failure
    
    event :submit do
      transition :draft => :reviewing
    end
    
    event :approve do
      transition :reviewing => :approved
    end
    
    event :publish do
      transition :approved => :published
    end
  end
end

与主流 ORM 框架集成

ActiveRecord 集成示例

class Order < ActiveRecord::Base
  state_machine :initial => :pending do
    # 自动保存记录
    around_transition do |order, transition, block|
      Order.transaction do
        block.call
        order.save!
      end
    end
    
    # 状态特定的验证
    state :processing do
      validates_presence_of :processor_id
    end
    
    state :shipped do
      validates_presence_of :tracking_number
    end
    
    event :process do
      transition :pending => :processing
    end
    
    event :ship do
      transition :processing => :shipped
    end
    
    event :deliver do
      transition :shipped => :delivered
    end
  end
end

实际应用场景

电商订单系统

class Order
  state_machine :initial => :pending do
    # 支付相关状态
    state :pending do
      def can_cancel?
        true
      end
    end
    
    state :paid do
      def can_refund?
        created_at > 7.days.ago
      end
    end
    
    state :refunded do
      def can_reopen?
        false
      end
    end
    
    # 物流相关状态
    state :shipped do
      def tracking_info
        "物流单号: #{tracking_number}"
      end
    end
    
    # 事件定义
    event :pay do
      transition :pending => :paid, :if => :payment_valid?
    end
    
    event :ship do
      transition :paid => :shipped, :if => :in_stock?
    end
    
    event :deliver do
      transition :shipped => :delivered
    end
    
    event :refund do
      transition :paid => :refunded, :if => :within_refund_period?
    end
    
    # 全局转换
    event :cancel do
      transition all - [:shipped, :delivered, :refunded] => :cancelled
    end
  end
  
  private
  
  def payment_valid?
    payment_amount == total_amount && payment_status == 'completed'
  end
  
  def in_stock?
    line_items.all? { |item| item.product.in_stock? }
  end
  
  def within_refund_period?
    created_at > 30.days.ago
  end
end

工作流审批系统

class ApprovalWorkflow
  state_machine :initial => :draft do
    # 多级审批状态
    state :draft do
      def editable?
        true
      end
    end
    
    state :submitted do
      def can_withdraw?
        true
      end
    end
    
    state :manager_approved do
      requires :manager_approval
    end
    
    state :director_approved do
      requires :director_approval
    end
    
    state :completed do
      def archive
        # 归档逻辑
      end
    end
    
    # 条件转换
    event :submit do
      transition :draft => :submitted, :if => :all_required_fields_filled?
    end
    
    event :approve do
      transition [:submitted, :manager_approved] => 
        lambda { |workflow| 
          workflow.next_approval_level 
        },
        :if => :current_user_has_approval_rights?
    end
    
    event :reject do
      transition [:submitted, :manager_approved, :director_approved] => :draft,
        :if => :rejection_reason_provided?
    end
    
    event :complete do
      transition :director_approved => :completed
    end
  end
  
  def next_approval_level
    case state_name
    when :submitted then :manager_approved
    when :manager_approved then :director_approved
    else state_name
    end
  end
end

最佳实践与性能优化

1. 状态机设计原则

mermaid

2. 性能优化策略

延迟加载：对于不常用的状态机，考虑延迟初始化
缓存策略：缓存频繁访问的状态转换路径
批量操作：使用并行事件处理多个状态转换
监控指标：跟踪状态转换频率和失败率

3. 测试策略

describe OrderStateMachine do
  it '从pending状态只能转换到paid或cancelled' do
    order = Order.new(state: :pending)
    expect(order.state_events).to contain_exactly(:pay, :cancel)
  end
  
  it 'paid状态下可以发货' do
    order = Order.new(state: :paid)
    expect(order.can_ship?).to be true
  end
  
  it '已发货订单不能取消' do
    order = Order.new(state: :shipped)
    expect(order.can_cancel?).to be false
  end
  
  it '支付事件需要验证金额' do
    order = Order.new(state: :pending, total_amount: 100)
    order.payment_amount = 50
    expect { order.pay }.to raise_error(StateMachine::InvalidTransition)
  end
end

常见问题与解决方案

Q1: 状态机方法冲突怎么办？

A: 使用命名空间来隔离不同状态机的方法：

state_machine :workflow_state, :namespace => 'workflow' do
  # 方法名会变成 workflow_submit, workflow_approve 等
end

Q2: 如何实现历史状态追踪？

A: 结合回调记录状态变更历史：

after_transition all => all do |record, transition|
  StateChange.create!(
    record: record,
    from_state: transition.from_name,
    to_state: transition.to_name,
    event: transition.event,
    timestamp: Time.now
  )
end

Q3: 如何处理并发状态修改？

A: 使用数据库锁或乐观锁机制：

around_transition do |record, transition, block|
  record.with_lock do
    block.call
  end
end
