WebGME App for creating Executable Hierarchical Finite State Machines
(HFSMs). Contains metamodel, visualization, simulation, and code
generation for Hierarchical Finite State Machines (HFSMs) following
the UML State Machine specification, see [Wikipedia UML State Machine](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UML_state_machine), [another reference](https://www.uml-diagrams.org/state-machine-diagrams.html), and [the UML specification](http://www.omg.org/spec/UML/).

## Features
* Complete modeling of State Machines following the UML specification
including:
* States with Hierarchy
* Events
* Internal Transitions
* External Transitions
* Local Transitions
* Choice Pseudostates
* Deep History Pseudostates
* Shallow History Pseudostates
* Initial States
* End States
* **Interactive model creation**
* Positions of states are saved
* Code can be edited directly in the model
* Simulator automatically updates as model changes
* Can use multi-select to move groups of states or to edit attributes of multiple objects (e.g. transition events)
* Can auto-select all transitions by `Event`
* Can zoom / pan the model to focus on a specific context
* In-model **interactive simulation** of the HFSM
* Highlighting of execution pathways during event handling
* Can disable / enable transitions
* User can select which guards are true when transitions have guards
* Currently active state tree branch shown including all event actions
* Simulator informs the user if the model is not well formed
* In-model **collaborative code attribute editing** for the HFSM (using [the CodeEditor](https://github.com/finger563/webgme-codeeditor))
* Model transformation plugin to produce executable **C++** code from
the HFSM (*with more languages coming soon*!)
* Disabled transitions are not generated
* Model is checked before being generated
## Description
This repository contains the plugins, decorators, and visualizers (all
of which are WebGME Components) and the base and example seeds for
creating HFSMs with embedded c/c++ code in each state. The WebGME app
utilizes the [CodeEditor](https://github.com/finger563/webgme-codeeditor) to allow users to edit the code for the
model as if it were part of an IDE.
Together these components and (meta-)modeling environment make up the
*State Machine Domain* for WebGME.
The [Base seed](./src/seeds/base.webgmex) contains just the `Meta`
definitions for the projects and HFSMs following the UML State Diagram
specification and the [Examples Seed](./src/seeds/examples.webgmex)
contains a project with three different HFSMs: *simple*, *medium*, and
*complex*.
HFSMs are trees, where a state may have zero or more substates.
In this modeling paradigm, `Projects` can contain any number of `State
Machines`.
State Machines have the following attributes:
* `Includes` : include statements for the HFSM, will be at the top of
the generated header
* `Initialization` : intialization code run at the beginning of the
HFSM, before any of the state initialization code.
* `Declarations` : variable/function/class declarations within the
HFSM's `StateMachine` namespace, will be within the generated header
file
* `Definitions` : variable/function/class definitions within the
HFSM's `StateMachine` namespace, will be within the generated source
file
## Getting Started
### Setting up the WebGME-HFSM Server
#### Docker
Build the dockerfile for the webgme-hfsm docker image
``` bash
docker build -t webgme-hfsm .
```
Now run the mongodb docker and the webgme-hfsm docker
``` bash
docker run --name mongo -d -p 27017:27017 mongo
docker run --name webgme-hfsm -d -p 8081:8081 --link mongo:mongo webgme-hfsm:latest
```
You can also use docker-compose:
``` bash
docker-compose up -d
```
#### Native
Dependencies:
* [nodejs ^6.0](https://www.nodejs.org)
* [mongodb](https://www.mongodb.com)
```bash
git clone https://github.com/finger563/webgme-hfsm
cd webgme-hfsm
npm install -g bower # needed for extra package management
npm install # installs the required packages for webgme-hfsm
npm start
```
Which will run the WebGME-HFSM server on **PORT 8081** of your local
machine, accepting connections on all IP addresses available to it.
Note: this requires a mongodb instance running on the machine, which
can be started with:
```bash
mongod --dbpath ${path you want for your database}
```
Once the server has been started, you can navigate (in *Chrome*) to
```
localhost:8081
```
where the server is running. Create a WebGME project there from either
the `base` or the `examples` seed.
### Creating a HFSM
Once a webgme project has been opened, creat a new HFSM project by dragging in a new component from the left panel.
Double click on the project and then drag in a new HFSM component.
In addition to editing the HFSM through webgme, the HFSMViz can also be used. Open an HFSM and click on the HFSMViz on the left side of the screen to use this mode.
Components can be dragged into the visualizer just like in webgme, with addditional operations accessible via the right-click context menu
### Simulating a HFSM
In the HFSMViz, the active state of the simulation is highlighted in
red, and the user can press the event buttons to see how the state
machine will react to that event. If any guards need to be evaluated,
a modal dialog will pop up with options for the user to select which
guard should evaluate to true at that time. The user has the option of
canceling the transition by selecting `None`. In the case that the
guards are associated with exit transitions of a choice pseudostate,
the `Default Transition` will be shown as a guard choice with no text.
The **HFSMViz** visualizer allows the visualization of the full
HFSM. It also provides:
* An interface to see which events will be handled by the HFSM when it
is in a selected (or active) state
* *Simulation* of the HFSM which properly traverses the transitions from
the currently active state to the next active state when the user
spawns an event into the simulation.
* The visualization will even pop up dialogs asking the user which
guard condition should be evalutated to true when the HFSM passes
through a choice pseudostate or when multiple transitions have the
same event trigger and different guards.
* Drag and drop external transition creation between two nodes of the
HFSM
* *Automatic layout* and routing of the edges and nodes of the HFSM
tree
* *Context menu* allowing the user to:
* Toggle the display of a state's children
* Set the active state
* Auto-arrange selected nodes into a grid
* Re-parent selected nodes into the right-clicked node
* Add a new element (which can also be done by dragging from the
`Part Browser` and dropping onto the visualizer.)
### Code Generation
The **SoftwareGenerator** plugin supports generation of a `Project`
and it's `State Machines` into executable code, with the option of
generating test-bench code for interactively testing out the generated
HFSM and tracing through which actions occur in what order when an
event is spawned.
You can edit the code attributes for the `State Machines`, `States`,
`Internal Transitions`, and `External Transitions` within the
CodeEditor visualizer.
#### Test Bench Code
When the test code is generated, it generates a `Makefile` which
builds a `test` and `DEBUG` target for each of the `State Machines` in
the `Project` from which the plugin was executed. These test bench
codes compile in (using a preprocessor define `DEBUG_OUTPUT`) logging
code which traces when transitions are fired, which guards are true,
which actions are executed, and which events are in the State
Machine's event queue.
