Workflow Engine

We run our projects in cloud environments inside multi tenant based systems, therefor adding customer related business logic via code changes or external services is an overhead, especially for the little things in life. The Workflow Engine does solve this problem.

What is a workflow?

A Workflow consists of Blocks which execute some code and Connections which connect the different blocks together.

Block

A Block is a piece of code that implements the WorkflowBlockDefinition interface. Blocks have inputs and outputs, so called Sockets. Blocks get data via their Input Sockets and can output results via their Output Sockets.

Connection

A Socket Connection connects 2 Block Sockets, e.g. BlockA::Ouput --> BlockB::Input

Environments

The workflow engine runs in NodeJS as well as your browsers. It can be used to manipulate data in your UI or do long running tasks on a node server.
