- Removed the route I previously used to visualize workflows
- Created another tab in the `<ShowPageRightContainer />` component in
which we display the visualizer
Questions:
- Should I use a feature flag to hide the feature?
Closes#6858
- Improve the design of the right drawer
- Allow to update the trigger of the workflow: the object and the event
listened to
- Allow to update the selected serverless function that a code action
should execute
- Change how we determine which workflow version to display in the
visualizer. We fetch the selected workflow's data, including whether it
has a draft or a published version. If the workflow has a draft version,
it gets displayed; otherwise, we display the last published version.
- I used the type `WorkflowWithCurrentVersion` to forward the currently
edited workflow with its _current_ version embedded across the app.
- I created single-responsibility hooks like
`useFindWorkflowWithCurrentVersion`, `useFindShowPageWorkflow`,
`useUpdateWorkflowVersionTrigger` or `useUpdateWorkflowVersionStep`.
- I updated the types for workflow related objects, like `Workflow` and
`WorkflowVersion`. See
`packages/twenty-front/src/modules/workflow/types/Workflow.ts`.
- This introduced the possibility to have `null` values for triggers and
steps. I made the according changes in the codebase and in the tests.
- I created a utility function to extract both parts of object-event
format (`company.created`):
`packages/twenty-front/src/modules/workflow/utils/splitWorkflowTriggerEventName.ts`
This PR adds the possibility of creating new steps. For now, only
actions are available. The steps are stored on the server, and the
visualizer is reloaded to include them.
Selecting a step opens the right drawer and shows its details. For now,
it's only the id of the step, but in the future, it will be the
parameters of the step.
In the future we'll want to let users add steps at any point in the
diagram. As a consequence, it's crucial to be able to walk in the tree
that make the steps to find the correct place where to put the new step.
I wrote a function that returns where the new step should be inserted.
This function will become recursive once we get branching implemented.
Things to mention:
- Reactflow needs every node and edge to have a unique identifier. In
this PR, I chose to use steps' id as nodes' id. That way, it's easy to
move from a node to a step, which helps make operations on a step
without resolving the step's id from the node's id.
## Features
- Fetch a workflow and display it in a tree with the React Flow library
- The nodes are positioned by an algorithm
- The feature is put behind a feature flag. The `/workflow/:id` route is
disabled if the flag is off.
- I started implementing a right drawer. That's a big WIP and it will be
finished in another PR.
## How to test this feature
1. Create a workflow instance in the database through a GraphQL query.
See below for instructions.
2. After enabling the feature flag, you should be able to see the
workflow you created in the workflows list. To visualize the workflow,
go to the `/workflow/:id` page where the id is the id of the workflow.
See the video for a quick way to do so.
```gql
// First
mutation createWorkflow($data: WorkflowCreateInput!) {
createWorkflow(data: $data) {
id
}
}
// Result
{
"data": {
"name": "test"
}
}
// Second
mutation createWorkflowVersion($data: WorkflowVersionCreateInput!) {
createWorkflowVersion (data: $data) {
id
}
}
// Result
{
"data": {
"name": "v1",
"trigger": {
"name": "trigger",
