Add a payload to dispatch events and state changes

[GrahO23]

Hi,

I love YBStatechart, I've had a go at adding payloads to the dispatch and state changes to help avoid storing unnecessary variable outside the state chart.

At least I find it useful for passing params and data between states and transitions.

Don't know if you are interested for master.

Cheers

Very cool, thanks! What is the rationale behind making the payload parameter mandatory, instead of optional by having two methods (one with a payload parameter, one without).

Hi Ronald thanks.
All the methods with payloads are overloads and all the original calls are still there ( or should be :) )

• (void)dispatchEvent:(NSString*)event;
• (void)dispatchEvent:(NSString*)event withPayload:(id)payLoad;
• (void)activateStateWithName:(NSString*)stateName;
• (void)activateStateWithName:(NSString*)stateName withPayload:(id)payload;
• (void)activateStateWithName:(NSString*)stateName saveToHistory:(BOOL)saveToHistory;
• (void)activateStateWithName:(NSString*)stateName saveToHistory:(BOOL)saveToHistory withPayload:(id)payload;
• (void)activateState:(YBState*)state;
• (void)activateState:(YBState_)state *_withPayload:(id)payload;
• (void)activateState:(YBState*)state saveToHistory:(BOOL)saveToHistory;
• (void)activateState:(YBState*)state saveToHistory:(BOOL)saveToHistory withPayload:(id)payload;
