Qt SCXML Invoke Example (Dynamic)▲
Invoke Example (Dynamic) demonstrates how to use the <invoke> element with generated nested state-machines, where the SCXML file is dynamically loaded. The <invoke> element is used to create an instance of an external service.
Running the Example▲
To run the example from Qt Creator, open the Welcome mode and select the example from Examples. For more information, visit Building and Running an Example.
Invoking the State Machine▲
In statemachine.scxml, we specify a state machine with the name Directions of type http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/ to invoke:
<scxml
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/07/scxml"
    version="1.0"
    name="Directions"
    initial="anyplace"
>
    <state id="anyplace">
        <transition event="goNowhere" target="nowhere"/>
        <transition event="goSomewhere" target="somewhere"/>
        <state id="nowhere"/>
        <state id="somewhere">
            <invoke type="http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/">
                <content>
                    <scxml name="anywhere" version="1.0">
                        <state id="here">
                            <transition event="goThere" target="there"/>
                        </state>
                        <state id="there">
                            <transition event="goHere" target="here"/>
                        </state>
                    </scxml>
                </content>
            </invoke>
        </state>
    </state>
</scxml>Dynamically Loading the State Machine▲
We link against the Qt SCXML module by adding the following line to the project build files.
With qmake to the invoke-dynamic.pro
QT += qml scxmlWith cmake to the CMakeLists.txt
find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Gui Qml Scxml)
target_link_libraries(invoke-dynamic PUBLIC
    Qt6::Core
    Qt6::Gui
    Qt6::Qml
    Qt6::Scxml
)We dynamically create the state machine, as follows:
import QtScxml
MainView {
    stateMachine: directions.stateMachine
    StateMachineLoader {
        id: directions
        source: "qrc:///statemachine.scxml"
    }
