I assume there is no way to conditionally _completely disable_ a checkout step?

    let me know if should add anything there

    good for me, optionally you could write a β€œreal” example of what you want to do and how the linear way is bad in this case and how dev time the state machine way save you roughly.

    i'd have to excercise my imagination for a good example πŸ˜„

    trivial use case would be having an conditional step which doesn't belong to the normal flow, e.g. pay with amazon pay - where the original payment page / customer and shipping address pages are not required

    thanks anyway, the more real the example are, the more we will be sure that what we will build will hit the mark πŸ’―

    did u already seen the last updates about step-engine? Now u can define also via StepEngineStrategy different strategies according some configuration or quote or customer etc.... maybe can be a solution for u

    so effectively it switches the step collection based on a condition?

    that would also work in this case (not as nice as a state machine though)

    yes with a state machine will be very nice, but in the case the state machine can decide according some conditions the next step then u don't have any more the basic principe of step-engine.. "A step can be executed only when the previuos steps are correctly already executed"...

    In this case the pre-Condition and post-Condition of your steps are very dynamic due not real step defined..
    Or i didn t get what is your goal?

    not sure - in the case of a state machine (maybe state machine isn't right term - directional step graph maybe πŸ˜„ ) you'd say that the machine should be in step X and then traverse the depenencies until that point checking the conditions
