NAME

Workflow::Context - Data blackboard for Workflows, Actions, Conditions and Validators

VERSION

This documentation describes version 2.05 of this package

SYNOPSIS

 # Create your own context and merge it with one that may already be
 # in a workflow
 my $context = Workflow::Context->new();
 $context->param( foo => 'bar' );
 $context->param( current_user => User->fetch( 'foo@bar.com' ) );
 my $wf = FACTORY()->create_workflow( 'w/f', $context );
 # The above is the same as:
 $context = Workflow::Context->new(
      foo   => 'bar',
      current_user => User->fetch( 'foo@bar.com' ),
 );
 $wf = FACTORY()->create_workflow( 'w/f', $context );
 # In a Condition get the 'current_user' back out of the workflow's context
 sub evaluate {
     my ( $self, $wf ) = @_;
     my $current_user = $wf->context->param( 'current_user' );
     ...
 }
 # Set values directly into a workflow's context
 $wf->context->param( foo => 'bar' );
 $wf->context->param( news => My::News->fetch_where( 'date = ?', DateTime->now ) );
