Manual about workflower HOT 9 CLOSED

I wrote a quick start guide to manage business processes with Workflower on Symfony application.

It's written in Japanese, but it includes code that would help you.

I agree - some documentation (in english) would make this very interesting project understandable by a wider audience.
Workflow components are rare in the PHP world, which makes this one even more interesting.

Very difficult to read the examples with Japanese text. How hard would it be for you to translate?

A quick start guide in English will be available sometime soon.
It's not very difficult for me, but I'm quite busy and there is quality problem 😅

Hi, Once populating the workflow with the participants is it up to the implementer to control the execution e.g. a $workflow->execute() method?

from workflower.

@cymapgt In Workflower, a Role is mapped to a Swimlane of the workflow at source time to define the owner of the workflow elements on the lane, while a Participant is mapped to WorkItems at runtime to define the person (or not person) who will execute the Activity. And a Workflow object will check whether or not the given participant (usually the current user) has the role of the current activity on allocateWorkItem(), startWorkItem(), and completeWorkItem().

Thanks. I have managed to design a bpmn document and implement it successfully including with an exclusive gateway as advised. I guess the main areas to ensure that the Participant has required role, then if there is any process data to set it in the WorkItem and then fire the process.

@cymapgt Congratulations!

If you use PHPMentorsWorkflowerBundle, you can inject a WorkItemContext object by using phpmentors_workflower.work_item_context service to use a WorkItemContext object with the SecurityParticipant object.
