This is a fork from brexis/laravel-workflow. My current needs for this package are a bit more bleeding-edge than seem to be maintainable by the other packages. Massive kudos to brexis for the original work and adaptation on this.
Use the Symfony Workflow component in Laravel
composer require zerodahero/laravel-workflow
Right now, I've bumped the dependencies up to active PHP version (>=7.2), so in Laravel >= 5.5, use the package auto-discovery
Add a ServiceProvider to your providers array in config/app.php
:
<?php
'providers' => [
...
ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\WorkflowServiceProvider::class,
]
Add the Workflow
facade to your facades array:
<?php
...
'Workflow' => ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Facades\WorkflowFacade::class,
Publish the config file
php artisan vendor:publish --provider="ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\WorkflowServiceProvider"
Configure your workflow in config/workflow.php
<?php
return [
'straight' => [
'type' => 'workflow', // or 'state_machine'
'marking_store' => [
'type' => 'multiple_state',
'arguments' => ['currentPlace']
],
'supports' => ['App\BlogPost'],
'places' => ['draft', 'review', 'rejected', 'published'],
'transitions' => [
'to_review' => [
'from' => 'draft',
'to' => 'review'
],
'publish' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'published'
],
'reject' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'rejected'
]
],
]
];
If you are using a "multiple_state" type of marking_store (i.e. you will be in multiple places simultaneously in your workflow), you will need your supported class/Eloquent model to cast the marking to an array. Read more in the Laravel docs.
You may also add in metadata, similar to the Symfony implementation (note: it is not collected the same way as Symfony's implementation, but should work the same. Please open a pull request or issue if that's not the case.)
<?php
return [
'straight' => [
'type' => 'workflow', // or 'state_machine'
'metadata' => [
'title' => 'Blog Publishing Workflow',
],
'marking_store' => [
'type' => 'multiple_state',
'arguments' => ['currentPlace']
],
'supports' => ['App\BlogPost'],
'places' => [
'draft', => [
'metadata' => [
'max_num_of_words' => 500,
]
]
'review',
'rejected',
'published'
],
'transitions' => [
'to_review' => [
'from' => 'draft',
'to' => 'review',
'metadata' => [
'priority' => 0.5,
]
],
'publish' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'published'
],
'reject' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'rejected'
]
],
]
];
Use the WorkflowTrait
inside supported classes
<?php
namespace App;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Traits\WorkflowTrait;
class BlogPost extends Model
{
use WorkflowTrait;
}
<?php
use App\BlogPost;
use Workflow;
$post = BlogPost::find(1);
$workflow = Workflow::get($post);
// if more than one workflow is defined for the BlogPost class
$workflow = Workflow::get($post, $workflowName);
// or get it directly from the trait
$workflow = $post->workflow_get();
// if more than one workflow is defined for the BlogPost class
$workflow = $post->workflow_get($workflowName);
$workflow->can($post, 'publish'); // False
$workflow->can($post, 'to_review'); // True
$transitions = $workflow->getEnabledTransitions($post);
// Apply a transition
$workflow->apply($post, 'to_review');
$post->save(); // Don't forget to persist the state
// Get the workflow directly
// Using the WorkflowTrait
$post->workflow_can('publish'); // True
$post->workflow_can('to_review'); // False
// Get the post transitions
foreach ($post->workflow_transitions() as $transition) {
echo $transition->getName();
}
// Apply a transition
$post->workflow_apply('publish');
$post->save();
Once you have the underlying Symfony workflow component, you can do anything you want, just like you would in Symfony. A couple examples are provided below, but be sure to take a look at the Symfony docs to better understand what's going on here.
<?php
use App\Blogpost;
use Workflow;
$post = BlogPost::find(1);
$workflow = $post->workflow_get();
// Get the current places
$places = $workflow->getMarking($post)->getPlaces();
// Get the definition
$definition = $workflow->getDefinition();
// Get the metadata
$metadata = $workflow->getMetadataStore();
// or get a specific piece of metadata
$workflowMetadata = $workflow->getMetadataStore()->getWorkflowMetadata();
$placeMetadata = $workflow->getMetadataStore()->getPlaceMetadata($place); // string place name
$transitionMetadata = $workflow->getMetadataStore()->getTransitionMetadata($transition); // transition object
// or by key
$otherPlaceMetadata = $workflow->getMetadataStore()->getMetadata('max_num_of_words', 'draft');
This package provides a list of events fired during a transition
ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\Guard
ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\Leave
ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\Transition
ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\Enter
ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\Entered
You can subscribe to an event
<?php
namespace App\Listeners;
use ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\GuardEvent;
class BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber
{
/**
* Handle workflow guard events.
*/
public function onGuard(GuardEvent $event) {
/** Symfony\Component\Workflow\Event\GuardEvent */
$originalEvent = $event->getOriginalEvent();
/** @var App\BlogPost $post */
$post = $originalEvent->getSubject();
$title = $post->title;
if (empty($title)) {
// Posts with no title should not be allowed
$originalEvent->setBlocked(true);
}
}
/**
* Handle workflow leave event.
*/
public function onLeave($event) {}
/**
* Handle workflow transition event.
*/
public function onTransition($event) {}
/**
* Handle workflow enter event.
*/
public function onEnter($event) {}
/**
* Handle workflow entered event.
*/
public function onEntered($event) {}
/**
* Register the listeners for the subscriber.
*
* @param Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher $events
*/
public function subscribe($events)
{
$events->listen(
'ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\GuardEvent',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onGuard'
);
$events->listen(
'ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\LeaveEvent',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onLeave'
);
$events->listen(
'ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\TransitionEvent',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onTransition'
);
$events->listen(
'ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\EnterEvent',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onEnter'
);
$events->listen(
'ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\EnteredEvent',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onEntered'
);
}
}
You are also welcome to use Symfony's dot syntax style of event emission. Note that the events will receive the Symfony events then, not the ones through this package.
<?php
namespace App\Listeners;
use ZeroDaHero\LaravelWorkflow\Events\GuardEvent;
class BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber
{
// ...
/**
* Register the listeners for the subscriber.
*
* @param Illuminate\Events\Dispatcher $events
*/
public function subscribe($events)
{
// can use any of the three formats:
// workflow.guard
// workflow.[workflow name].guard
// workflow.[workflow name].guard.[transition name]
$events->listen(
'workflow.straight.guard',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onGuard'
);
// workflow.leave
// workflow.[workflow name].leave
// workflow.[workflow name].leave.[place name]
$events->listen(
'workflow.straight.leave',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onLeave'
);
// workflow.transition
// workflow.[workflow name].transition
// workflow.[workflow name].transition.[transition name]
$events->listen(
'workflow.straight.transition',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onTransition'
);
// workflow.enter
// workflow.[workflow name].enter
// workflow.[workflow name].enter.[place name]
$events->listen(
'workflow.straight.enter',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onEnter'
);
// workflow.entered
// workflow.[workflow name].entered
// workflow.[workflow name].entered.[place name]
$events->listen(
'workflow.straight.entered',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onEntered'
);
// workflow.completed
// workflow.[workflow name].completed
// workflow.[workflow name].completed.[transition name]
$events->listen(
'workflow.straight.completed',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onCompleted'
);
// workflow.announce
// workflow.[workflow name].announce
// workflow.[workflow name].announce.[transition name]
$events->listen(
'workflow.straight.announce',
'App\Listeners\BlogPostWorkflowSubscriber@onAnnounce'
);
}
}
Symfony workflow uses GraphvizDumper to create the workflow image. You may need to install the dot
command of Graphviz
php artisan workflow:dump workflow_name --class App\\BlogPost
You can change the image format with the --format
option. By default the format is png.
php artisan workflow:dump workflow_name --format=jpg
If you are loading workflow definitions through some dynamic means (perhaps via DB), you'll most likely want to turn on registry tracking. This will enable you to see what has been loaded, to prevent or ignore duplicate workflow definitions.
Set track_loaded
to true
in the workflow_registry.php
config file.
<?php
return [
/**
* When set to true, the registry will track the workflows that have been loaded.
* This is useful when you're loading from a DB, or just loading outside of the
* main config files.
*/
'track_loaded' => false,
/**
* Only used when track_loaded = true
*
* When set to true, a registering a duplicate workflow will be ignored (will not load the new definition)
* When set to false, a duplicate workflow will throw a DuplicateWorkflowException
*/
'ignore_duplicates' => false,
];
You can dynamically load a workflow by using the addFromArray
method on the workflow registry
<?php
/**
* Load the workflow type definition into the registry
*/
protected function loadWorkflow()
{
$registry = app()->make('workflow');
$workflowName = 'straight';
$workflowDefinition = [
// Workflow definition here
// (same format as config/symfony docs)
];
$registry->addFromArray($workflowName, $workflowDefinition);
// or if catching duplicates
try {
$registry->addFromArray($workflowName, $workflowDefinition);
} catch (DuplicateWorkflowException $e) {
// already loaded
}
}
You may also specify an initial_place
in your workflow definition, if it is not the first place in the "places" list.
<?php
return [
'type' => 'workflow', // or 'state_machine'
'metadata' => [
'title' => 'Blog Publishing Workflow',
],
'marking_store' => [
'type' => 'multiple_state',
'arguments' => ['currentPlace']
],
'supports' => ['App\BlogPost'],
'places' => [
'review',
'rejected',
'published',
'draft', => [
'metadata' => [
'max_num_of_words' => 500,
]
]
],
'initial_place' => 'draft',
'transitions' => [
'to_review' => [
'from' => 'draft',
'to' => 'review',
'metadata' => [
'priority' => 0.5,
]
],
'publish' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'published'
],
'reject' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'rejected'
]
],
];
