Warning: .can will cause a conditional transaction function to be called twice
BrandLibel opened this issue · comments
Do not use .can
if you pass a non-pure or non-idempotent function to the to
attribute.
The .can
function is implemented by invoking the function in the to attribute.
If used, .can
would even break the example in the official docs where each to attribute increments the character: https://github.com/jakesgordon/javascript-state-machine/blob/master/docs/states-and-transitions.md#conditional-transitions
seek: function(transition, args) {
var wildcard = this.config.defaults.wildcard,
entry = this.config.transitionFor(this.state, transition),
to = entry && entry.to;
if (typeof to === 'function')
return to.apply(this.context, args); // BUG HERE. Replace this code with something like return true;
else if (to === wildcard)
return this.state
else
return to
},
