Class StateGraphNode

Namespace

Microsoft.Accordant

Assembly

Accordant.dll

A state graph node represents a unique state along with the set of step functions that can be applied to that state (if enabled). The state and set of step functions lead to a unique node fingerprint.

Properties

Edges

Edges which lead to the outgoing set of state graph nodes.

public List<StateGraphEdge> Edges { get; set; }

Property Value

List<StateGraphEdge>

State

The system state represented by this node.

public IState State { get; set; }

Property Value

IState

StepFunctions

The set of step functions that can be applied to this state. Once a step function is applied, it is consumed and not part of the updated state (though a step function can produce new step functions that are included in the step function list for the updated state).

public IList<IStepFunction> StepFunctions { get; set; }

Property Value

IList<IStepFunction>

Methods

CreateCountBasedNodeLabelLambda()

This method creates a count based node label lambda, where it returns a a label with a monotonically increasing count each time it's called, so a sequence like N1, N2, N3, ... and so on.

public static Func<StateGraphNode, string> CreateCountBasedNodeLabelLambda()

Returns

Func<StateGraphNode, string>

DefaultNodeLabelLambda(StateGraphNode)

This method prints out the literal contents of the node in the state graph node.

public static string DefaultNodeLabelLambda(StateGraphNode node)

Parameters

node StateGraphNode

Returns

string

GenerateDotFileContent(StateGraphNode, Func<StateGraphNode, string>, bool)

This method generates a GraphViz dot file to help visualize the state graph.

public static string GenerateDotFileContent(StateGraphNode rootNode, Func<StateGraphNode, string> nodeLabelLambda = null, bool showStepFunctionsInNode = true)

Parameters

rootNode StateGraphNode

nodeLabelLambda Func<StateGraphNode, string>

showStepFunctionsInNode bool

Returns

string

GenerateDotFileContent(Func<StateGraphNode, string>, bool)

public string GenerateDotFileContent(Func<StateGraphNode, string> nodeLabelLambda = null, bool showStepFunctionsInNode = true)

Parameters

nodeLabelLambda Func<StateGraphNode, string>

showStepFunctionsInNode bool

Returns

string

GetNodeFingerprint()

Returns the node fingerprint which is a hash computed over the state hash along with the set of step functions that can be applied to this state (if enabled).

public string GetNodeFingerprint()

Returns

string

GetNodeFingerprint(IState, IList<IStepFunction>)

public static string GetNodeFingerprint(IState state, IList<IStepFunction> stepFunctions)

Parameters

state IState

stepFunctions IList<IStepFunction>

Returns

string
