stateless - workflows in .NET

Hi,

I found some frameworks for handling workflows:

- ApprovaFlow

- simple state machine

- objectflow

- jazz

- nstate 

... but best of all alternatives seems to be "stateless" (see: https://github.com/dotnet-state-machine/stateless ).

The following features / best practices are made (following the examples-folder of the github repo):

• choose or build a class for State
• choose or build a class for Triggers
• create an object for a StateMachine<State,Trigger>
• initialization / get-set possibility to variables outside)

• configuring phase

• stateMachineObject.IsInState(stateItem)
• stateMachineObject.PermittedTriggers
• stateMachineObject.CanFire(triggerItem)
• stateMachineObject.Fire(triggerItem)
• stateMachineObject.FireAsync(triggerItem)

Configuration Options fluid-api style:

• stateMachineObject.Configure(stateItem)
• SubstateOf(stateItem) // Hierarchical State
• PermitReentry(Trigger)
• Permit(Trigger, State)
• PermitIf(Trigger, State, Guard)
• Ignore(Trigger)
• InternalTransition
• OnEntry(() => action());
• OnEntryAsync(async () => await action());
• OnEntryFrom(trigger, x => action()); // Parameterized Trigger
• OnExit(() => action());

Support for DOT-graph - visualization (see: Graphviz): .ToDotGraph()
