Workflows

This section is about handling workflows and tasks within Nuxeo PHP Client.

Let's first retrieve the workflows manager:

$workflowManager = $client->workflows();

Model Retrieval

Let's retrieve all workflow models on Nuxeo Server:

use Nuxeo\Client\Objects\Workflow\Workflows;

/** @var Workflows $workflows */
$workflows = $workflowManager->fetchModels();

Next examples will use the SerialDocumentReview workflow which is present on a bare Nuxeo Server:

Start

Let's start serial workflow on a note:

$note = $client->repository()->fetchDocumentByPath('/note');

// The next statements are equivalent
$workflow = $note->startWorkflow('SerialDocumentReview');
$workflow = $workflowManager->startWorkflowByNameWithDocId('SerialDocumentReview', $note->getUid());

Fetch

Let's retrieve the tasks of a document:

// The next statements are equivalent
$tasks = $note->fetchTasks();
$tasks = $workflowManager->fetchTasksByDocumentId($note->getUid());

Update - Work with Task

We can add our review of a running workflow on a document:

$tasks = $note->fetchTasks();
$completionRequest = (new TaskCompletionRequest($task))->setVariables([
      'comment' => 'LGTM',
      'participants' => ['user:Administrator'],
      'validationOrReview' => 'simpleReview'
    ]);

$tasks[0]->complete('approve', $completionRequest);
