Support for Laravel

[akoSalman]

Is it possible to use this package with Laravel? if not, is there any package like this for Laravel framework?

[iteman]

Yes. I think Workflower can be used with Laravel since it only uses Symfony components, not Symfony framework. But you may want well-integrated features such like WorkflowerBundle for Symfony.

Did you manage to do this? I need the same thing now, to integrate workflower into Laravel. Could you give me some hints?

[akoSalman]

@lakilevi No, I didn't use it.

Thanks!

What did you use instead for Laravel?

I handled it in some tricky way using roles and permissions using this package for Laravel like this:

Each user with a specific role, can(permission) do some specific actions on our object in a specific state. Make permissions with a name like action _state and save those as system data to your database. Permissions example: cancel_pending --> A permission that specifies if a user can cancel an order in pending status. cancel_accepted --> A permission that specifies if a user can cancel an order with status accepted. Then for each role in your system, you can give those permissions and when a user wants to do some action on an order with a specific status, check if the user has/have permission action_status. That's what I'm using in my project, I think it's not a bad idea.
