README

This package extends zerodahero/laravel-workflow by adding option to store workflow configuration in database. Laravel workflow only support loading configuration form Laravel configuration. This package provides user to change workflow configuration without helping from developers.

Support us

You can suggest for any approvement, sponsor this project or make a pull request. I am happy to consider any recommendation. I am not a good programmer so my design may not be the best one. My background is not computer programming. I am an Electrical engineer.

Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require soap/laravel-workflow-loader

You can publish and run the migrations with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="workflow-loader-migrations"
php artisan migrate

You can publish the config file with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="workflow-loader-config"

This is the contents of the published config file:

return [
    'loaders' => [
        'database' => [
            'tableNames' => [
                'workflows' => 'workflows',
                'workflow_states' => 'workflow_states',
                'workflow_transitions' => 'workflow_transitions',
                'workflow_state_transitions' => 'workflow_state_transitions',
            ],
            'class' => \Soap\WorkflowLoader\DatabaseLoader::class,
        ],
    ],
];

To use this package to load workflow configuration from database, you need to register workflow service provider provided by the package. Zerodahero 's workflow registry will be used to load configuration retreiving from database.

php artisan venodr:publish --tag="workflow-loader-provider"

This will copy the following WorkflowServiceProvider.php to application providers folder, ensure that it was included in application bootstrap. The following is the content of the file.

namespace App\Providers;

use Illuminate\Support\ServiceProvider;

class WorkflowServiceProvider extends ServiceProvider
{
    public function register() {}

    public function boot()
    {
        $registry = app()->make('workflow');
        $workflowLoaderRegistry = app()->make('workflowLoaderRegistry');   
        foreach ($workflowLoaderRegistry->all() as $workflow => $config) {
            $registry->addFromArray($workflow, $config);
        }
    }
}

This package doesnot provide user interface for user to manage workflow configuration. By design it should be in separate package. I have a plan to create filament plugin to handle this.

Usage

After you have completed setup, create workflow configuration in database using your own way or provided by other package. Then use them like the one you use by zerohadero/laravel-workflow. Storing configuration in database is easy to develop workflow for user.

Enhance your workflow

Using zerodahero/laravel-workflow, guards should be created via event subscriber. I developed soap/laravel-workflow-process to use Symfony expression as an upper guard layer. For example, you can write:

guard => $subject.isWaitingFor($user) || !$subject.isOwnedBy($user)

or

guard => $subject.isApprovers($user) || $subject.isReviewers($user)

Then the package will inject $subject and $user for you and use Symfony expression to evaluate blocking of the transition.

Testing
