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
The biggest changes from v2 to v3 are the dependencies. To match the Symfony v5 components, the Laravel version is raised to v7. If you're on Laravel v6 or earlier, you should continue to use the v2 releases of this package.
To match the changes in the Symfony v5 workflow component, the "arguments" config option has been changed to "property". This describes the property on the model the workflow ties to (in most circumstances, you can simply change the key name from "arguments" to "property", and set to a string instead of the previous array).
Also, the "initial_place" key has been changed to "initial_places" to align with the Symfony component as well.
If you aren't using package 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', // or 'single_state'
'property' => 'currentPlace', // this is the property on the model
'class' => MethodMarkingStore::class, // you may omit for default, or set to override marking store class
],
'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', // or 'single_state'
'property' => 'currentPlace' // this is the property on the model
],
'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)
{
// The event can also proxy to the original event
$subject = $event->getSubject();
// is the same as:
$subject = $event->getOriginalEvent()->getSubject();
}
/**
* Handle workflow transition event.
*/
public function onTransition($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: these events receive the Symfony event prior to version 3.1.1, and will receive this package's events starting with version 3.1.1
<?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)
// This should be the definition only,
// not including the key for the name.
// See note below on initial_places for an example.
];
$registry->addFromArray($workflowName, $workflowDefinition);
// or if catching duplicates
try {
$registry->addFromArray($workflowName, $workflowDefinition);
} catch (DuplicateWorkflowException $e) {
// already loaded
}
}
NOTE: There's no persistence for dynamic workflows, this package assumes you're storing those somehow (DB, etc). To use the dynamic workflows, you will need to load the workflow prior to using it. The loadWorkflow()
method above could be tied into a model boot()
or similar.
You may also specify an initial_places
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',
'property' => 'currentPlace'
],
'supports' => ['App\BlogPost'],
'places' => [
'review',
'rejected',
'published',
'draft', => [
'metadata' => [
'max_num_of_words' => 500,
]
]
],
'initial_places' => 'draft', // or set to an array if multiple initial places
'transitions' => [
'to_review' => [
'from' => 'draft',
'to' => 'review',
'metadata' => [
'priority' => 0.5,
]
],
'publish' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'published'
],
'reject' => [
'from' => 'review',
'to' => 'rejected'
]
],
];
