Objectflow: Workflows for busy developers

Objectflow is a framework for declaratively creating workflows in C# with a fluent syntax. Objectflow allows you to consolidate your business logic in the usual places (the model) so the workflow only has to focus on how those pieces fit together.

// Define a workflow
var workflow = new StatefulWorflow<SiteVisit>()
	// Configure security
	.Configure(config => config.Security.AsStrict.UsingMethod(() => _factory.GetAllowedTransitions())

	// Declare a starting point
	.Yield("Scheduled")

	.Do(x => x.Open())
	.Yield("In Progress")

	.Unless(x => x.IsReadyToBeClosed()).Fail("Site visit was not ready to be closed")
	.Do(x => x.Close());

Objectflow provides several services that can optionally be plugged in; including security, persistence, error handling, and UI integration. Each workflow is built inside plain C# classes, making them completely compatible with dependency injection frameworks (unlike Workflow Foundation).

We also provide other facilities for interacting with workflows to provide persistance and security frameworks. See the Quickstart guide for more information.

Installation

Objectflow is available via NuGet under the code StatefulObjectflow. (http://www.nuget.org/List/Packages/StatefulObjectflow)
