databases/ruby-dm-is-state_machine 1.2.0 NetBSD

DataMapper plugin that adds state machine functionality to your models.

== Why is this plugin useful?

Your DataMapper resource might benefit from a state machine if it:

* has different "modes" of operation * has discrete behaviors * especially if the behaviors are mutually exclusive

And you want a clean, high-level way of describing these modes / behaviors and how the resource moves between them. This plugin allows you to declaratively describe the states and transitions involved.
