Execute an action when transition from one specific state to another?

Question

Is there a way to execute an action when transitioning between specific states in Machina.js?

For example, say I have states "A, B, C".

I want to write a function like:

when("A", "C", function(){ console.log("Caught transition from A to C! Yay!"); }

This is in the same spirit as Akka's FSM implementation. Is this possible?

Thank you!

Figured it out. One just has to watch for transition event. See API doc here.

var fsm = new machina.Fsm({     
            initialState: 'A',      
            states: {
                "A":    {},
                "B" :   {},
                "C" :   {}
            }
        });


fsm.on('transition', function(transition){      
            console.log("[" + transition.fromState + "] -(" + transition.action  + ")-> [" + transition.toState + "]");
        });
