Client-side usage (via broswerify)

Setup

This module is packaged in a CommonJS format, exporting the name of the Angular namespace. The module can be included in an angular.js as follows:

angular.module('app', [
, require('fh-wfm-workflow')
...
])

Integration

Angular controller

A sync manager must first be initialized using the workflowSync.createManager(). This can be placed, for instance, in the resolve config of a ui-router controlled application.

resolve: {
  workflowManager: function(workflowSync) {
    return workflowSync.createManager();
  }
}

For a more complete example, please check the demo portal app.

workflowSync API

These workflowSync API methods all return Promises:

| workflowSync method | Description | | -------------------- | ----------- | | workflowSync.manager.list | list all workflows | | workflowSync.manager.create(workflow) | create a workflow | | workflowSync.manager.read(workflowId) | read a workflow | | workflowSync.manager.update(workflow) | update a workflow |

workflow directives

| Name | Attributes | | ---- | ----------- | | workflow-progress | stepIndex, workflow | | workflow-step | step, workflow | | workflow-result | workflow, result | | workflow-form | value | | workflow-step-form | workflow, step, forms | | workflow-step-detail | step |

Usage in an express backend

Setup

The server-side component of this WFM module exports a function that takes express and mediator instances as parameters, as in:

var express = require('express')
  , app = express()
  , mbaasExpress = mbaasApi.mbaasExpress()
  , mediator = require('fh-wfm-mediator/lib/mediator')
  ;

// configure the express app
...

// setup the wfm workflow sync server
require('fh-wfm-workflow/server')(mediator, app, mbaasExpress);

Server side events

the module broadcasts, and listens for the following events

| Listens for | Responds with | | ----------- | ------------- | | wfm:workflow:list | done:wfm:workflow:list | | wfm:workflow:read | done:wfm:workflow:read | | wfm:workflow:update | done:wfm:workflow:update | | wfm:workflow:create | done:wfm:workflow:create |
