README

A PHP package for dealing with state transitions.

State transitions are a good way to manage lifecycles and pipelines on applications, as for example:

• Order and payment status on an e-commerce
• Invoice Status on a finance system
• Ticket Status on ticket service desk system
• Sales status on a CRM

Installation

The workflow package can be installed via Composer by requiring the davispeixoto/workflow package in your project's composer.json.

{
    "require": {
        "davispeixoto/workflow": "~1.0"
    }
}

Or

$ php composer.phar require davispeixoto/workflow

And running a composer update from your terminal:

php composer.phar update

Usage

To use it, first you need to create the status you are going to use for representing your states.

<?php
use MyCLabs\Enum\Enum;

class SalesStates extends Enum
{
    public const NEW = 'new';
    public const DEALING = 'dealing';
    public const WON = 'won';
    public const LOST = 'lost';
}

Then you can create your workflow based on valid transitions

<?php
use Davispeixoto\WorkflowInterface\Transition;
use Davispeixoto\WorkflowInterface\WorkflowInterface;

class SalesWorkflow extends WorkflowInterface
{
    public function __construct(SalesStates $initialStatus)
    {
        parent::__construct($initialStatus);

        // setup the transitions
        $transitions = [];

        $transitions[] = new Transition(
            new SalesStates(SalesStates::NEW),
            new SalesStates(SalesStates::DEALING)
        );

        $transitions[] = new Transition(
            new SalesStates(SalesStates::DEALING),
            new SalesStates(SalesStates::WON)
        );

        $transitions[] = new Transition(
            new SalesStates(SalesStates::DEALING),
            new SalesStates(SalesStates::LOST)
        );

        $this->allowedTransitions = $transitions;

        // setup the finished status, if any/needed
        $finished = [];

        $finished[] = new SalesStates(SalesStates::WON);
        $finished[] = new SalesStates(SalesStates::LOST);

        $this->finishedStatus = $finished;
    }
}

Now you can use this workflow to manage state transitions on you applications.
