Usage

Initialization

FSM comes with mixin method. You have to extend this during initialization.

var Foo = Backbone.View.extend({
    initialize: function () {
        FSM.mixin(this);
    }
});

Transitions

You can define transitions and defaultState:

var Foo = Backbone.View.extend({
    initialize: function () {
        FSM.mixin(this);
    },

    defaultState: 'firstState',

    transitions: {
        'transitionName': {
            from: 'firstState',
            to: 'secondState'
        }
    },

    onTransitionName: function (callback) {
        callback();
    }
});
