SC - State Chart

State Chart is a tool that generates application code based on state charts to help solving complex tasks. Using state charts in programming has many advantages. Some of the most important are:

• Easier to understand & serves as a communication basis
• Decouple overall behavior from components
• Scales good with increasing complexity
• Supports documenting without additional effort

To get more information about state charts (in programming) or read about the concept of SC, consider visiting statechart.dev, which contains a nice collection of information and explanations regarding this topic.

Install sc

The build-in version check and update capabilities require a build flag to be set. Consider removing an existing version before by running rm ~/go/bin/sc. To do this there are currently two options:

1. Automatic

• Install from Github go install github.com/SoenkeD/sc@main
• Update it to set the build flag sc version --update

2. Manual

• Find the most recent (long) commit hash of the main branch (e.g. 78bd6bc89736f4ac35ca7aaf1fe0f9cba4e31159)
• Replace COMMIT_HASH with the recent has and execute GOFLAGS=-ldflags=-X=main.commitHash=COMMIT_HASH go install github.com/SoenkeD/sc@main

Get Started

1. Install the sc tool from GitHub (see above)

2. (optional) Read the documentation

3. Decide on a language on following the the available guides and examples
