It provides an step-transition based workflow implementation for processing entities through its life cycle. Due to its data format and framework independence it **does not run** as a standalone workflow library. The entity/data implementation and input processing via forms have to be implemented. This workflow library is more a **skeleton** for your workflow requirements. Features -------- [](#features) **The main concept** - An entity processes different steps in its lifecycle. - The process between two steps is called Transition. - A transition can depend on conditions which determine if the transition is available. - Each transition contains a list of actions which are performed to reach the next step. - Actions can require additional user input to perform the transition. - User input are handled by a form. **Workflow items** - The Item wraps the entity to provide workflow related information. - It knows the current state and the whole state history. - Due to the flexibility of the data structure the EntityId is used to identify an entity. **Worfklow** - An workflow is defined for a specific entities from a specific data provider. - The workflow is the definition of multiple steps and their transitions. - A workflow always has one start transition. - It can have multiple end transitions. **Manager** - There can be multiple workflow definitions for the same data provider. - The manager selects the matching workflow and creates the transition handler. - At the moment an item can only be in one workflow. **Permissions** - Transitions and steps can can be limited to an permission. - Checking the permission and organizing them is part of the current implementation. **More features** - Collection based repositories. - Transaction save transitions. - Flexible config system for workflows, steps and transitions. Requirements ------------ [](#requirements) This library requires at least PHP 7.1. Changelog --------- [](#changelog) See the [CHANGELOG.md](https://github.com/netzmacht/workflow/blob/develop/CHANGELOG.md) Example ------- [](#example) You may have a look at the [examples](https://github.com/netzmacht/workflow/tree/develop/example). A concrete implementation is available as integration for CMS Contao [netzmacht/contao-workflow](https:github.com/netzmacht/contao-workflow). Credits ------- [](#credits) This library is heavenly inspired by the great workflow implementation of [orocrm plattform](http://github.com/orocrm/plattform)and got some concepts from the [LexikWorkflowBundle](https://github.com/lexik/LexikWorkflowBundle). ### Health Score 42 — FairBetter than 90% of packages Maintenance47 Moderate activity, may be stable Popularity27 Limited adoption so far Community15 Small or concentrated contributor base Maturity65 Established project with proven stability Bus Factor1 Top contributor holds 100% of commits — single point of failure How is this calculated?**Maintenance (25%)** — Last commit recency, latest release date, and issue-to-star ratio.
