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:
&
lt;scxml
xmlns=
"http://www.w3.org/2005/07/scxml"
version=
"1.0"
name=
"Directions"
initial=
"anyplace"
&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"anyplace"
&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goNowhere"
target=
"nowhere"
/&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goSomewhere"
target=
"somewhere"
/&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"nowhere"
/&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"somewhere"
&
gt;
&
lt;invoke type=
"http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/"
&
gt;
&
lt;content&
gt;
&
lt;scxml name=
"anywhere"
version=
"1.0"
&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"here"
&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goThere"
target=
"there"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;state id=
"there"
&
gt;
&
lt;transition event=
"goHere"
target=
"here"
/&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;/
scxml&
gt;
&
lt;/
content&
gt;
&
lt;/
invoke&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;/
state&
gt;
&
lt;/
scxml&
gt;
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 scxml
With 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"
}
