A javascript implementation of the Amazon States Language
See the official Amazon docs here: https://docs.aws.amazon.com/step-functions/latest/dg/awl-ref.html
Welcome to stateslang-js! This library was designed to execute state machines described by the Amazon States Language. Amazon created the States Language in order to coordinate the components of distributed applications and microservices via AWS step functions. This library takes their awesome work and provides a run-time so that you can create these powerful workflows on your own.
A State Machine is a mathematical model of computation. Programming is messy enough as it is and having a mathematical model through which we can reason about our applications is a very powerful ability. This library encourages you to think about your applications as composable units (or states) with easily understood upstream and downstream workflows. It encourages functional programming styles & immutability to remove hard to debug issues resulting from side-effects.
This project is written in Typescript and requires the typescript compiler to build.
To develop this project locally clone & build the project.
mkdir stateslang-js && cd stateslang-jsgit clone https://github.com/mlp5ab/stateslang-js.git .npm installnpm run buildw
This will start the typescript compiler and will watch for changes. If you want to build one time run npm run build
Thanks to Scaphold.io for sponsoring this work :)
