Now that i have defined my API for initialization it is time to implement it. Inspired by the Moq.Language and Moq.Language.Flow namespaces in Moq i have decided to define my interfaces in a separate namespace: Infrastructure.StateMachineLanguage.

Ever since i have read Clean code i feel the need to write classes that do one thing (and one thing only) so i came up with the following classes:

• something to store commands per state, CommandsForState
• something to store actions per command, ActionsForCommand

For the implementation of the IChooseCommandAndAction interface i have decided to create a class that falls back on my classes that handle IChooseCommand and IChooseAction already:

public class CommandAndActionForState<tstate, TCommand> : IChooseCommandAndAction<tstate, TCommand>
{
 private readonly CommandsForState<tstate, TCommand> commandsForState;
 private readonly ActionsForCommand<tstate, TCommand> actionsForCommand;

 public CommandAndActionForState(CommandsForState<tstate, TCommand> commands, ActionsForCommand<tstate, TCommand> actions)
 {
  commandsForState = commands;
  actionsForCommand = actions;
 }

 public IChooseAction<tstate, TCommand> On(TCommand command)
 {
  return commandsForState.On(command);
 }

 public IChooseCommandAndAction<tstate, TCommand> Do(Action action)
 {
  return actionsForCommand.Do(action);
 }
}
