This plugin implements an approval workflow for CakePHP applications. Users propose changes (create or edit records), and admins/moderators can review, approve, or reject those changes before they are published to the actual database tables.

Perfect for:

- Content management systems requiring editorial approval
- User-generated content that needs moderation
- Data entry systems with quality control
- Multi-stage approval workflows

**Note:** Revert functionality is intentionally out of scope for this plugin. For reverting changes to previous states, use the [cakephp-audit-stash](https://github.com/dereuromark/cakephp-audit-stash) plugin which provides comprehensive audit logging and revert capabilities. Bouncer focuses solely on the approval workflow for proposed changes.

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Seamless Integration**: Add approval workflow to any table with a single behavior
- **Draft Management**: Users automatically edit their existing drafts instead of creating duplicates
- **Admin Interface**: Built-in UI for reviewing and approving/rejecting changes with diff view
- **Flexible Configuration**: Configure which actions require approval, use custom bypass callbacks
- **Transaction Safety**: Atomic approval process with rollback on errors
- **AuditStash Integration**: Works seamlessly with cakephp-audit-stash for complete audit trail

Installation
------------

[](#installation)

Install via [composer](https://getcomposer.org):

```
composer require dereuromark/cakephp-bouncer
bin/cake plugin load Bouncer
```

Run the migrations to create the `bouncer\_records` table:

```
bin/cake migrations migrate -p Bouncer
```
