Track State ? How Do We
Booleans, Constants, Strings

Finite-State Machine!
- Abstract machine - Can be in exactly one of
a finite number of states at a time - State changes via input events - Transitions - Module finite-state machine
finite-state machine Door Closed Door Open open close
Configuring The FSM
configuring // JSON example ... var config = { states:
{ ‘DoorClosed’: { events: { ‘open’: { toState: ‘DoorOpen’} } }, ‘DoorOpen’: { events: { ‘close’: { toState: ‘DoorClosed’} } } }, startState: ‘DoorClosed’ };
Home Security System! Let’s Design a
a security system
A Honeywell Security System
Armed Stay Armed Away Armed Max Exit Delay? Entry Delay?
Motion? No Yes Yes Yes Yes No No Yes Yes Armed Instant No No No a honeywell system
“Armed Away” a honeywell system
“Armed Max” a honeywell system
“Armed Stay” a honeywell system
“Armed Instant” a honeywell system

The State Pattern
state pattern • Separates interface from implementation • Enables interchangeable
behavior • Perfect for a state machine! Context State State A State B handle() handle() handle()
state pattern Handler State Armed Disarmed handle() handle() handle() Alarming
handle() for our home security system …
