Floristry

The goal of this gem is to help you represent Flor's workflows using standard Rails facilities, e.g. partials, helpers, render, models, etc.

Floristry is an isolated engine which provides basic behaviors and representations to Flor's workflow language, e.g. sequence, concurrence, task, if, sleep, cron. Obviously, you can override their default behaviors (e.g. model) and representations (e.g. partial) your owns.

To override a view, simply create a new one in:

/app/views/floristry/_cron.html.erb.

Era - :pass, :present, :future

The following methods are available on each Procedures to identify its era:

Extend

New behaviors ca be added to low-level Procedure such as Procedure (root), BranchProcedure or LeafProcedure to affect all Procedures at once, only Leaves or only Branches respectively.

Create a file called /config/initializers/floristry.rb containing modules with the desired behaviors. Then use the following config to define which module will be included in the which low-level Procedure.

module FloristryBranchBehavior
  def xyz
    # ...
  end

  # ...
end

Floristry.configure do |config|
  config.add_branch_Procedure_behavior = FloristryBranchBehavior
  #config.add_leaf_Procedure_behavior = FloristryLeafBehavior
  #config.add_Procedure_behavior = FloristryBehavior
end
