I am currently developing a smart contract with several states:
enum State {created, accepted, over}
Depending on the state, users are allowed to perform different action. What I would like to do, is to automatically trigger a function when “accepted” has been set, without calling the function. The reason for that is that I want users to proceed step by step: I want the user to see that the “accepted state” is the current one, and that another function was called to transition to the “over” state.
Let’s imagine the following code: I want the “close” function to be triggered when currentState becomes “accepted” but I still want the function accept() to return a value after currentState has been set.
function accept() public onlyState(State.created) payable returns (bool) {
player2 = msg.sender;
currentState = State.accepted;
return true;
}
function close() internal onlyState(GameState.accepted) returns (bool) {
currentState = State.over;
return true;
}
I think you should use a state machine design pattern here. There is a good example here https://medium.com/tokenfoundry/a-solidity-implementation-of-the-state-machine-design-pattern-25de8b1dfbc5
It can help you understanding callback function used in a smart contract.
On entering the new state, variable value changes may occur, or certain functionality may be carried out automatically. The functions that must be executed on entering a new state are callback functions.
