Create a new state machine configuration

1min

POST
This API is for creating a new state-machine configuration (states, sub-states and state transition rules) of an entity type; e.g. users, bags, boxes, vehicles, etc. specified by entityType.
Some Assumptions:
It is assumed that main states in config are always sequential.
Since it's sequential, the first main states' default substate would be the state of a new entity type instance created.
Also, only the last main state would have the list of terminal states defined, no other main state would have terminal states.
For each non-terminal sub-state, at least one state transition rule is expected. There are 2 types of transitions possible.  Transition rule comprises of:
Transitions
Event Name name of the event
Destination state: The state on which the instance would be transitioned to when some event is provided.
Transition is also possible through ttl:
Time to live can be associated with a substate. If some instance of this entity type is present on such a substate, after the specific time, the state of instance would be updated to destination state.
Time after which the transition has to take place
Destination state on which the instance would be transitioned to
Terminal States (optional):
This state list, if present, would always be present only in last main state.
Events:
Specifies a list of events that can be applied on any instance of an entityType.
Terminal TTL:
Specifies the time to live for an instance of this entity type in the transaction database. Once this instance reaches any terminal state, the data for this instance would be deleted from the transaction database, after the specified time.
Callback URL (optional):
The URL endpoint to call once state transition happens. The transition can be state transition due to ttl or transition due to some event.
Also, if an instance of this entity type reaches terminal state and its being removed from transaction database, then also, this URL can be called.
The two types of callback urls can be defined:
Callback URL on substate: If an instance of this entity type gets transitioned to this substate, then this URL endpoint can be called.
Primary Callback URL: If no other callback url is specified, then primary callback url, if specified, can be called.
Important:
The state machine cannot be partially updated.
Once the state machine is created for a particular entity type, the main states cannot be modified. Tenant can only add/update substates. Addition/updation of rest all configurations, except names of main states, is allowed.
