Laravel Business Process

Laravel Business Process is a simple and clean way to run business process using a Laravel Pipeline, in a structured and type-safe way.

Installation

composer require juststeveking/laravel-business-process

Usage

To get started with this package, all you need to do is create a new process class:

use JustSteveKing\BusinessProcess\Process;

final class PurchaseProduct extends Process
{
    protected array $tasks = [
        CheckStockLevel::class,
        ProcessOrder::class,
        DecreaseStockLevel::class,
        NotifyWarehouse::class,
        EmailCustomer::class,
    ];
}

Our process class registers the tasks that need to be completed for this process to run, each task must implement the TaskContract interface that comes with this package.

use JustSteveKing\BusinessProcess\Contracts\TaskContract;

final class CheckStockLevel implements TaskContract
{
    public function __invoke(ProcessPayload $payload, Closure $next): mixed
    {
        // perform your logic here with the passed in payload.
        
        return $next($payload);
    }
}

Your tasks are standard classes that the Pipeline class from Laravel would expect.

The payload is a class that implements ProcessPayload interface, signalling that it is a payload for a process. They are simple plain old PHP classes with no requirements to add methods.

use JustSteveKing\BusinessProcess\Contracts\ProcessPayload;

final class PurchaseProductPayload implements ProcessPayload
{
    public function __construct(
        // add whatever public properties you need here
        public int $product,
        public int $user,
        public int $order,
    ) {}
}

Finally, we can call this process within our controller/job/cli wherever you need to.

final class PurchaseController
{
     public function __construct(
        private readonly PurchaseProduct $process,
     ) {}
     
     public function __invoke(PurchaseRequest $request, int $product): JsonResponse
     {
        try {
            $this->process->run(
                payload: $request->payload(),
            );
        } catch (Throwable $exception) {
            // Handle exception
        }
        
        // return response.
     }
}

Testing
