Directed workflow engine for multi-step process orchestration. Define handler graphs with named transitions, propagate every step's result through a typed context, and wire it all up with a fluent builder API. Each handler returns a WorkflowResult whose status — one of seven ON_* constants — picks the next step.

Features

Directed Handler Graph — connect handlers as nodes with explicit per-status transitions
Seven Named Transitions — onSuccess, onFail, onTimeout, onSkip, onCancel, onEvent, onExit (loop/block termination)
R5 Routing-Safety — when a transition target is not a registered node, the engine returns control to the caller (no dispatch, no exception)
Typed Execution Context — WorkflowContext carries every handler invocation as an entry in an ordered execution log; getPrevious() exposes the immediate predecessor's result without the handler needing to know who that was
Lossless History — re-invocations of the same handler (retry loops, cross-branch revisits) append a new entry instead of overwriting; getAll(Foo::class) returns every invocation, getLatest(Foo::class) the most recent
Fluent Builder API — WorkflowBuilder + WorkflowNodeBuilder wire the graph without configuration arrays
Handler Factory — inject a closure to resolve handlers from a DI container
WorkflowResult — typed value object with named status constants; no ambiguous truthy/falsy returns

Installation

composer require jardissupport/workflow

Quick Start

use JardisSupport\Workflow\Builder\WorkflowBuilder;
use JardisSupport\Workflow\Workflow;
use JardisSupport\Workflow\WorkflowResult;

// Build a two-step graph
$config = (new WorkflowBuilder())
    ->node(ValidateOrderHandler::class)
        ->onSuccess(ChargePaymentHandler::class)
        ->onFail(RejectOrderHandler::class)
    ->node(ChargePaymentHandler::class)
        ->onSuccess(ConfirmOrderHandler::class)
    ->build();

// Workflow is stateless and single-shot. Per-run input is passed as $data and forwarded
// to the handler factory — handlers themselves are invoked with the WorkflowContext only.
$workflow = new Workflow(
    handlerFactory: fn(string $cls, mixed $data): object => new $cls($data),
);
$context  = $workflow($config, $order);

// Inspect the final result and the full chain
$lastResult   = $context->getPrevious();                          // WorkflowResult of last executed handler
$chargeResult = $context->getLatest(ChargePaymentHandler::class); // most recent invocation of that handler
$allCharges   = $context->getAll(ChargePaymentHandler::class);    // every invocation in execution order
$executed     = count($context->getChain());                      // total number of handler invocations

Advanced Usage

use JardisSupport\Contract\Workflow\WorkflowContextInterface;
use JardisSupport\Workflow\Builder\WorkflowBuilder;
use JardisSupport\Workflow\Workflow;
use JardisSupport\Workflow\WorkflowResult;

// Handler using named transitions (retry loop). All handlers share the same signature:
// __invoke(WorkflowContextInterface): WorkflowResultInterface — per-run input is wired in
// by the handler factory (e.g. injected via constructor or set as the BoundedContext payload).
class ChargePaymentHandler
{
    public function __construct(private readonly Order $order) {}

    public function __invoke(WorkflowContextInterface $context): WorkflowResult
    {
        // Count prior invocations from the chain — every retry has a fresh entry
        $attempt = count($context->getAll(self::class)) + 1;

        $gatewayResult = $this->gateway->charge($this->order->total);

        if ($gatewayResult->isTemporaryFailure()) {
            // Service-side timeout translated into a domain transition — loops back via ON_TIMEOUT
            return new WorkflowResult(WorkflowResult::ON_TIMEOUT, ['attempt' => $attempt]);
        }

        if (!$gatewayResult->isSuccess()) {
            return new WorkflowResult(WorkflowResult::ON_FAIL, ['error' => $gatewayResult->message]);
        }

        return new WorkflowResult(WorkflowResult::ON_SUCCESS, ['chargeId' => $gatewayResult->id]);
    }
}

// Wire the timeout retry back to the same handler
$config = (new WorkflowBuilder())
    ->node(ChargePaymentHandler::class)
        ->onSuccess(FulfillOrderHandler::class)
        ->onFail(NotifyFailureHandler::class)
        ->onTimeout(ChargePaymentHandler::class)   // self-loop for retry-like behaviour
    ->build();

// Inject handlers from a DI container; the factory receives both the FQCN and the
// per-run $data passed to $workflow($config, $data).
$workflow = new Workflow(
    fn(string $class, mixed $data): object => $container->get($class)->withOrder($data),
);

$context = $workflow($config, $order);

// Inspect the chain — flat ordered execution log; every entry is a stamped WorkflowResult
foreach ($context->getChain() as $result) {
    echo "{$result->getHandlerFqcn()}: {$result->getStatus()}\n";
}
