Trait CreateStateMachine 

pub trait CreateStateMachine {
    // Required method
    fn create_state_machine(self) -> Box<dyn StateMachine>;
}

A trait for creating a state machine.

This trait is intended to be implemented by types that can be converted into a state machine. A state machine, in this context, is an entity capable of executing a set of instructions or operations based on its current state and inputs it receives.

Implementers of this trait should provide the logic to initialize and return a new instance of a state machine, encapsulated within a Box<dyn StateMachine>. This allows for dynamic dispatch to the state machine’s methods, enabling polymorphism where different types of state machines can be used interchangeably at runtime.

Returns

• Box<dyn StateMachine>: A boxed state machine object that can be dynamically dispatched.

Required Methods

fn create_state_machine(self) -> Box<dyn StateMachine>

Creates and returns a new state machine instance.

This method consumes the implementer and returns a new instance of a state machine encapsulated within a Box<dyn StateMachine>. The specific type of the state machine returned can vary, allowing for flexibility and reuse of the state machine logic across different contexts.

Dyn Compatibility

This trait is dyn compatible.

In older versions of Rust, dyn compatibility was called "object safety".
