A simple flow controller with features
- A flow is defined by a graph.
- A graph is consisted of nodes and edges.
- Edges have direction.
- A graph can have one head node and one or multiple tail nodes.
- A middle node is a node who is neither head node nor tail node.
- A tail node can have one or multiple in nodes and have no out node.
- A head node can have one or multiple out nodes and have no in node.
- A middle node can have one or multiple in node and one or multiple out nodes.
- The edge between two adjacent nodes could be one way or two way.

The first key must be the head node.
[ 'blank' => ['editing', 'canceled'], 'editing' => ['draft', 'canceled'], 'draft' => ['editing', 'published', 'canceled'], 'published' => ['draft', 'printed', 'canceled'], 'printed' => [], 'canceled' => [], ]
The equivalent graph
The arrow shows the way direction.
