Installation

Add to your application's Gemfile:

gem 'rails_workflow'

And then execute:

$ bundle install

and mount it to /workflow routes:

Rails.application.routes.draw do
  ...
  mount RailsWorkflow::Engine => '/workflow', as: 'workflow'
  ...
end

Generate all models:

$ rails generate rails_workflow:install
$ bundle exec rake db:migrate

I am developing this engine using PostgreSQL database. In case if you using MySQL, add following to your config/initializers/workflow.rb file:

RailsWorkflow.setup do |config|
  config.sql_dialect= 'mysql'
end
