This tutorial (#3) focuses on new and easier to use StateSmith features that have been added since the last tutorial (#2).
It requires the use of the StateSmith.Cli tool called ss.cli.
With the goal of keeping things as simple as possible to start, this tutorial uses PlantUML as the diagram tool.
Tutorial #2 uses draw.io which is super helpful for large diagrams, but takes some time to setup with StateSmith and has a number of common gotchas.
I recommend finishing this tutorial first, and then moving on to tutorial #2 if you need more advanced features.
| Tutorial | Diagram Tool | Program Runner | Expansions |
|---|---|---|---|
| Tutorial #3 | PlantUML | ss.cli | no |
| Tutorial #2 | draw.io | dotnet-script (.csx) | yes |
This tutorial will get you up and running with StateSmith as quick as possible.
The instructions are cross platform and work with all supported programming languages.
