Full Changelog: v0.2.0...v1.0.0

v0.2.0

Component-level dependencies.

The package now depends on the individual illuminate/* components (bus, console, contracts, database, queue, support) instead of the whole laravel/framework.

Internally, jobs dispatch through Illuminate\Contracts\Bus\Dispatcher and configuration is read through Illuminate\Contracts\Config\Repository, removing all Illuminate\Foundation\* usage. No behavioural change — same public API, same 96-test suite.

Requires PHP 8.5 and Laravel 13.

composer require juststeveking/workflow-engine

v0.1.0

The first release of the workflow engine. Model long-running, multi-step Laravel processes as an ordered list of steps that complete, await a named signal, sleep, branch via goto, or fail. Instances are persisted as rows, driven forward by queued jobs, and resumed by signals from the outside world.

Install

composer require juststeveking/workflow-engine

Requires PHP 8.5 and Laravel 13.

What's included

• Step outcomes: complete, await, goto (branching), sleep (delays), fail
• Per-step timeouts tagged to the guarded step, and bounded retries with configurable exponential backoff (HasRetryBackoff)
• Saga compensation via CompensatingStep (run outside the lock, with a StepCompensationFailed event), early-signal buffering, and definition versioning
• Status lifecycle enforced through juststeveking/state-machine — illegal transitions throw
• Domain events for every transition
• Row locking and after-commit dispatch for at-least-once queue safety
• Swappable persistence behind WorkflowRepositoryContract
• Nine artisan commands: list, show, instances, start, signal, advance, retry, tick, prune
• Full Unit + Feature suite, PHPStan level 10, Pint, CI, and four worked examples
