SCXML Invoke▲

Invoke demonstrates how to use the <invoke> element with generated nested state-machines, where the SCXML file is compiled to a C++ class. 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 DirectionsStateMachine of type http://www.w3.org/TR/scxml/ to invoke:

Sélectionnez

&lt;scxml
    xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2005/07/scxml"
    version="1.0"
    name="DirectionsStateMachine"
    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;

Compiling the State Machine▲

We link against the Qt SCXML module by adding the following lines to the example's build files.

invoke.pro when using qmake:▲

Sélectionnez

QT += qml scxml

We then specify the state machine to compile:

Sélectionnez

STATECHARTS = statemachine.scxml

CMakeLists.txt when using cmake:▲

Sélectionnez

find_package(Qt6 REQUIRED COMPONENTS Core Gui Qml Scxml)

target_link_libraries(invoke PRIVATE
    Qt6::Core
    Qt6::Gui
    Qt6::Qml
    Qt6::Scxml
)

We then specify the state machine to compile:

Sélectionnez

qt6_add_statecharts(invoke
    statemachine.scxml
)

The statechart directives STATECHARTS or qt6_add_statecharts invoke the Qt SCXML Compiler, qscxmlc, which is run automatically to generate statemachine.h and statemachine.cpp, which are then added appropriately as headers and sources for compilation.

Declaring the state machine as QML element▲

The state machine is declared as a QML element as follows:

Sélectionnez

struct DirectionsStateMachineRegistration
{
    Q_GADGET
    QML_FOREIGN(DirectionsStateMachine)
    QML_NAMED_ELEMENT(DirectionsStateMachine)
    QML_ADDED_IN_VERSION(1, 0)
};

Instantiating the State Machine▲

We instantiate the generated DirectionsStateMachine element in the MainView.qml file, as follows:

Sélectionnez

    DirectionsStateMachine {
        id: stateMachine
        running: true
    }
