Managing Workflow Elements

Transition Conditions

Add a Custom Condition

Conditions are based on the ConfigExpression component.

To add a custom condition, add a service to DIC with tag oro_action.condition, as illustrated below:

1 services:
2     Oro\Bundle\WorkflowBundle\ConfigExpression\Blank:
3         tags:
4             - { name: oro_action.condition, alias: blank|empty }

Symbol “|” in alias can be used to have several aliases. Please keep in mind that service class must implement Oro\Component\ConfigExpression\ExpressionInterface.

Configurable Condition

  • Alias: configurable

  • Description: Uses Condition Assembler to assemble conditions from passed configuration. This condition is NOT intended to be used in the configuration of Workflow but it can be used to create a condition based on the configuration in runtime.

  • Options:

    • Valid configuration of conditions.

Code Example

If value of attribute “call_timeout” is not blank AND equals 20.

 1 $configuration = array(
 2     '@and' => array(
 3         '@not_blank' => array('$call_timeout'),
 4         '@equal' => array('$call_timeout', 20)
 5     )
 6 );
 7 /** @var $conditionFactory \Oro\Bundle\WorkflowBundle\Model\Condition\ConditionFactory */
 8 $condition = $conditionFactory->create(Configurable::ALIAS, $configuration);
 9
10 /** @var object $data */
11 $data->call_timeout = 20;
12
13 var_dump($condition->evaluate($data)); // will output TRUE

Transition Actions

Add a Custom Action

To add a custom action, add a service to DIC with tag oro_action.action, as illustrated below:

1 services:
2     Oro\Component\Action\Action\CloseWorkflow:
3         tags:
4             - { name: oro_action.action, alias: close_workflow }

Symbol “|” in alias can be used to have several aliases. Please keep in mind that the service class must implement Oro\Component\ActionAction\ActionInterface.

Configuration Syntax

Each action can be optionally configured with a condition. It allows to implement more sufficient logic in the definitions of transitions. If a condition is not satisfied, the action will not be executed.

If flag break_on_failure is specified, the action throws an exception on error; otherwise it logs error using a standard logger.

Syntax examples are provided below:

Full Configuration Example

1 - @alias_of_action:
2     conditions:
3         # optional condition configuration
4     parameters:
5         - some_parameters: some_value
6         # other parameters of action
7     break_on_failure: boolean # by default false

Short Configuration Example

1 - @alias_of_action:
2     - some_parameters: some_value
3     # other parameters of action
