Checkout the demo

Installation

The preferred way to install this extension is through composer.

Either run

php composer.phar require --prefer-dist raoul2000/yii2-workflow-view "*"

or add

"raoul2000/yii2-workflow-view": "*"

to the require section of your composer.json file.

Usage

To display a workflow with the widget, you must have ... a workflow to display ! Once you have it, just assign it to the workflow parameter of the WorkflowViewWidget.

In the example below we are assuming that the Post model is attached to a SimpleWorkflowBehavior and that it has been correctly initialized.

<?php
$post = new app\models\Post();

raoul2000\workflow\view\WorkflowViewWidget::widget([
    'workflow'    => $post,
    'containerId' => 'myWorkflowView'
]);
?>

<div id="myWorkflowView" style="height: 400px;"></div>

In this example we have passed model instance to the widget but can also pass a Workflow instance to display it. When a model is passed to the widget, it will display the workflow the model is in, and if the model is not in a workflow (i.e. it has no status), the widget displays the default workflow.

Here is an example of workflow view produced by the widget :

As you can see, the initial status is highlighted with a green thick border.

Note that this widget relies on vis.js to render the workflow.
