xdas.atoms.State#

class xdas.atoms.State(state)[source]#

A class to declare a new state or to update a preexising one into an Atom object.

Examples

In practice the State object is used when implementing new Atom objects. Bellow a dummy example without any class declaration.

>>> from xdas.atoms import Atom, State

Let’s create an empty Atom object:

>>> self = Atom()
>>> self.state
{}

We can declare and initialize a new state:

>>> self.count = State(0)
>>> self.state
{'count': 0}

To update the state, we must use the State object again. The state is updated by:

>>> self.count = State(self.count + 1)
>>> self.state
{'count': 1}
