Workflow Engine
===============

[](#workflow-engine)

A headless workflow automation engine for Laravel. Define a trigger and a graph of nodes, store the definition as data, and run it synchronously, asynchronously, or from the command line — no bundled UI required.

```
Workflow::run('send-welcome-email', ['email' => 'ada@example.com']);
```

Features
--------

[](#features)

- **Trigger-driven execution** — Manual, Webhook, Schedule (cron), and Eloquent Model event triggers included.
- **A large built-in node library** — logic (condition, switch, loop), variables, HTTP, files, Eloquent model CRUD, math, text, date/time, and collection operations.
- **An expression language** — `{{ trigger.email }}`, `{{ nodes.query.result.first().name }}`, with a rich set of chainable helper methods.
- **Suspend and resume** — nodes like Wait and Call Workflow can pause an execution and resume it later without re-running earlier steps.
- **Pluggable storage** — file-based (git-friendly) or database-backed, configured independently for workflows and executions.
- **An interactive builder** — `php artisan workflow:build` walks you through constructing a workflow from the terminal, including a full interactive JSON builder.
- **A fluent schema API for custom nodes** — declare a node's config form with `Schema::text()`, `Schema::select()`, `Schema::group()`, and more, including fields that resolve dynamically based on earlier answers.
- **First-class testing support** — `Workflow::fake()` plus a full set of assertions.

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

[](#installation)

```
composer require qanna-rsa/workflow-engine
php artisan vendor:publish --tag=workflowengine::config
```

See [Installation](docs/installation.md) for the full guide, including the optional database storage migrations.

Quick Start
-----------

[](#quick-start)

```
use Qanna\WorkflowEngine\Engine\Nodes\Action\LogNode;
use Qanna\WorkflowEngine\Engine\Triggers\ManualTrigger;
use Qanna\WorkflowEngine\Models\Workflow;
use Qanna\WorkflowEngine\Storage\Contracts\WorkflowRepositoryContract;

$workflow = Workflow::fromArray([
    'id' => 'send-welcome-email',
    'name' => 'Send Welcome Email',
    'trigger' => ['type' => ManualTrigger::type(), 'config' => []],
    'nodes' => [[
        'id' => 'log',
        'type' => LogNode::type(),
        'config' => ['level' => 'info', 'message' => 'Welcome {{trigger.email}}'],
    ]],
    'edges' => [['from' => 'trigger', 'to' => 'log', 'branch' => 'main']],
]);

app(WorkflowRepositoryContract::class)->create($workflow);
```

```
use Qanna\WorkflowEngine\Facades\Workflow;

Workflow::run('send-welcome-email', ['email' => 'ada@example.com']);
```

Or skip the code and build it interactively:

```
php artisan workflow:build
```

See the [Quick Start guide](docs/quickstart.md) for a walkthrough of both paths.
