How to use it?

[netyum]

I want to use this, but I don't know how, is there documentation, or a quick start example

@netyum Hi, there! There are multiple integration tests. Please, have a look at them. To run them build database first. Script for database resides here - [https://github.com/bingo-soft/jabe/blob/main/src/Resources/Db/Postgresql/V1_0.sql]() Please, pay attention that at the moment it supports only Postgresql (in future I plan to support other databases as well). Besides, you have to have several environmental variables, listed here - [https://github.com/bingo-soft/jabe/blob/main/src/ProcessEngineConfiguration.php#L365-L378]() . The most important ones are DB_JABE_DRIVER, DB_JABE_HOST, DB_JABE_PORT, DB_JABE_NAME, DB_JABE_USER and DB_JABE_PASSWORD . These are used to establish database connection.

For example, in my case I created database engine, ran the script to create all necessary tables and set environment variables to these values:

DB_JABE_DRIVER=pdo_pgsql
DB_JABE_HOST=127.0.0.1
DB_JABE_PORT=5432
DB_JABE_NAME=postgres
DB_JABE_USER=postgres

Also, pay attention that this engine does not have REST API at the moment and you have to use its raw API. For example, in my internal application I communicate with the engine through Kafka events. I have a worker, that is listening commands to the engine - commands like "start process by key", "complete task", "claim task" and others. And when these commands reach to the worker, I do it like so. First of all, in my bootstrap file, I initiate the engine:

$conf = \Jabe\ProcessEngineConfiguration::createProcessEngineConfigurationFromResource(realpath('Resources/engine.cfg.xml'));
$di->set("process_engine", $conf->buildProcessEngine()); // in this case di - is my dependency injection container, that stores reference to process engine

Then in my command handler I do it like so:

$processEngine = $di->get("process_engine"); // di again is dependency injection container
$processEngine->getRuntimeService()->startProcessInstanceByKey($key, $variables); //key is process key, variables are process variables you want to set

So, as you can see, I interract with the process engine using its own API. If you have any other questions, you can reach me via telegram https://t.me/jabe_engine

Deprecated very much

[bingo-soft]

@netyum Thank you! I'll fix it in the nearest release.

[bingo-soft]

@netyum Hi there! I fixed this issue with Serializable interface in new major release. Please, update and check it out. BTW, you also seem to have very strict error reporting options in PHP. Probably, you should suppress warnings, notices and deprecation messages. But it is ok to test it under current settings as well. Good luck!

[jrace1]

Good morning, I am also interested and would like to collaborate, but I could not even install, if I could create a documentation would be important for the project.

[bingo-soft]

@jrace1 You are very much welcome! As for installation, please, follow our telegram group - https://t.me/jabe_engine. We will go step by step the process of running the engine
