SignalTransition

Guard conditions affect the behavior of a state machine by enabling transitions only when they evaluate to true and disabling them when they evaluate to false.

When the signal associated with this signal transition is emitted the guard condition is evaluated. In the guard condition the arguments of the signal can be used as demonstrated in the example below.

import QtQuick 2.0
import QtQml.StateMachine 1.0 as DSM

Rectangle {
    Button {
        anchors.fill: parent
        id: button
        DSM.StateMachine {
            DSM.State {
                DSM.SignalTransition {
                    targetState: finalState
                    signal: button.mysignal
                    // the guard condition uses the mystr string argument from mysignal
                    guard: mystr == "test"
                }
            }
            DSM.FinalState {
                id: finalState
            }
        }
        // define the signal the SignalTransition is connected with
        signal mysignal(string mystr)
        // on clicking the button emit the signal with a single string argument
        onClicked: button.mysignal("test")
    }
}
