States allows you to create PHP classes following the [State Pattern](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/State_pattern) in PHP. This can be a cleaner way for an object to change its behavior at runtime without resorting to large monolithic conditional statements and this improve maintainability and workflows writing.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Create Several States** : Split classes in states to avoid un-understandable large monolithic statements.
- **Inherit States and Classes** : Complete and factorize states thanks to inheritance.
    - Stated classes can be also inherited.
- **Automate States Switching** : Define states switching rules based on object's properties.
- **Implement Every Where**: Thanks to traits and interfaces, use this pattern on your existing code.
    - Compatible with Doctrine.

A complete documentation is available in [documentation/README.md](documentation/README.md)
