state-machine-diagramming

You model domain lifecycles by defining states, transitions with triggers, guards, and effects, and invariants to ensure correct progression. This generates a formal, machine-readable state machine diagram that captures the complete lifecycle of business objects like orders or subscriptions.

State machine diagramming is used to capture and communicate domain lifecycles by explicitly defining states, transitions, and invariants. It ensures correct progression of domain entities by encoding triggers, guards, and effects into a formal, machine-readable diagram for documentation.

Yes, state machine diagramming supports hierarchical or parallel structures for complex domain models. It allows you to define nested states and parallel regions while generating complete diagrams that maintain typed transitions with triggers and effects for documentation.

You add guards and effects by specifying explicit triggers on transitions, optional guard conditions, and effects that execute during transitions. This typed transition model ensures invariants hold while the entity remains in a state and validates correct lifecycle progression.

Yes, state machine diagramming generates diagrams for documentation by encoding states, typed transitions, and invariants into a formal, machine-readable format. It satisfies robust diagramming workflow requirements including explicit initial and terminal states and support for hierarchical structures.

You need a state machine diagram when your domain model has entities with explicit lifecycle states and transitions that must be formally defined. It applies to objects like orders, users, subscriptions, or documents where correct progression and invariants must be communicated and documented.
