Installation

You can install the package via composer:

composer require tschucki/filament-workflows

You can install the plugin using:

php artisan filament-workflows:install

You can publish and run the migrations manually with:

php artisan vendor:publish --tag="filament-workflows-migrations"
php artisan migrate

Register the plugin in your AdminPanelServiceProvider:

use Tschucki\FilamentWorkflows\FilamentWorkflowsPlugin;

->plugins([
    FilamentWorkflowsPlugin::make()
])

Usage

Basics

In order to let your models use workflows, you need to add the InteractsWithWorkflows trait to your model. By adding this trait, the plugin will automatically add a global observer to your model. So when ever a workflow matches the event and trigger conditions, the workflow will execute the actions.

Add the trait to your model

use Tschucki\FilamentWorkflows\Concerns\InteractsWithWorkflow;

class User extends Model {
  use InteractsWithWorkflow;
}

Create an Action

In order to attach an action to your workflows, you will have to create a class within the App\Jobs\Actions folder. The class must extend the BaseAction class. This requires you to implement the handle method. This method will be called when the workflow is executed.

The action class is very similar to a job. When ever the action get executed, the model will be passed to the __construct method. You can use the model to do whatever you want.

The plugin will find this class on its own. So you don't have to register it anywhere.

<?php

namespace App\Jobs\WorkflowActions;

use App\Models\User;
use Illuminate\Database\Eloquent\Model;
use Tschucki\FilamentWorkflows\WorkflowActions\BaseAction;

class TestAction extends BaseAction
{
    public User $user;

    public function __construct(User $user)
    {
        $this->user = $user;
    }

    public function handle(): void
    {
        \Log::info($this->user->name . ' was created at ' . $this->user->created_at);
    }
    
    // Will be later used in the Logs (coming soon) 
    public function getActionName(): string
    {
        return 'Der Hackfleisch hassender Zerhacker';
    }

    public function getActionDescription(): string
    {
        return 'Schneidet Kopfsalat. Und das nachts :)';
    }

    public function getActionCategory(): string
    {
        return 'Default-Category';
    }

    public function getActionIcon(): string
    {
        return 'heroicon-o-adjustments';
    }
}

That's it. Now you can create and attach actions to your workflows.

Configuration

Define searchable field

If you don't just want to search for the id, you can use the function getTitleColumnForWorkflowSearch within your model to search in another field as well.

    public function getTitleColumnForWorkflowSearch(): ?string
    {
        return 'name';
    }

Max Search Results

In case you want to change the max search results for the models, you can publish the config file and change the workflows.search.max_results value (defaults to 100). This can come in handy when you have a lot of models and the search is slow.

<?php

return [
    'search' => [
        'max_results' => 100,
    ]
];

Use Custom Models and Resources

If you want to use custom models and resources, you can publish the config file and change the workflows.models and workflows.resources values. It is highly recommended that custom models and resources extend the existing Workflow classes.

<?php

return [
    'models' => [
        'workflow' => \Tschucki\FilamentWorkflows\Models\WorkflowLog::class,
        'workflow_log' => \Tschucki\FilamentWorkflows\Models\WorkflowLog::class,
    ],
    'resources' => [
        'workflow' => \Tschucki\FilamentWorkflows\Resources\FilamentWorkflowResource::class,
    ],
];
