Actions & Validations

You need also to set up your Actions and Validations services.

Usage

<?php
$manager = $this->getContainer()->get('free_agent_workflow.workflow.manager');
$manager->setModel($model);
if ($manager->canReachStep('draft')) {
    $manager->reachStep('draft', 'This is my draft', time());
    $model = $manager->getModel();
} else {
    $errors = $manager->getValidationErrors('draft');
}

TODOs

• Better code for Step
• Better tests
