calling transitions via forms

[Christopher Hobbs]

Is it possible to call a transition from a form dropdown? I'm
currently populating a form in my application (Rails 3.0.10) using
#state_paths.to_states, but this clearly doesn't trigger any
transitions. The #state_events and #state_transitions methods don't
seem to be getting me anywhere either.

I've considered using virtual attributes or something, but I almost
think that's like killing a fly with a cannon.

Thanks!

Hi Christopher,

Thanks for the question.  There is an example of this in the project @ https://github.com/pluginaweek/state_machine/tree/master/examples/rails-rest.

Hope this helps!

Best,

Aaron

Outstanding! Now I just need to work that into formtastic input and
I'll be all set. Thanks for the input!
