aasm-vis

aasm-vis generates a visual representation of the state machines defined with aasm gem.

Installation

Add gem 'aasm-vis', group: :development to your Gemfile and run bundle.

Usage

bundle exec rake aasm_vis:generate

To visualise the results you can use the github cli: gh gist create tmp/assm-vis.md or any other tool that can render markdown files supporting mermaid.

Example

The following ruby code defines a simple state machine for a Job model:

class Job < ApplicationRecord
  include AASM
  
  aasm :state do
    state :created, initial: true
    state :running
    state :finished_successfully
    state :finished_with_error
    
    event :run, after: :notify_somebody do
      transitions from: :created, to: :running
      transitions from: :running, to: :finished_with_error
      transitions from: :running, to: :finished_successfully
    end
  end
end

It will generate the following mermaid diagram:

---
title: Job#state
---
stateDiagram-v2

created : Created
running : Running
finished_successfully : Finished successfully
finished_with_error : Finished with error
  
[*] --> created
created --> running
running --> finished_with_error
running --> finished_successfully

finished_with_error --> [*]
finished_successfully --> [*]
