flowdrop_node_session

Provides entity context support for FlowDrop playground sessions, allowing workflows to be initialized with a Drupal entity (node, term, etc.) as context.

Features

• Entity-Context Sessions: Create playground sessions pre-loaded with entity data
• Revision Support: Optionally load specific entity revisions
• URL-based Playground: Launch playground with entity context via URL parameters

Installation

drush en flowdrop_node_session -y
drush cr

Usage

1. Add EntityContext Node to Workflow

In the FlowDrop editor, add an EntityContext node. It outputs:

• entity: Full serialized entity (fields, metadata)
• entity_type, entity_id, bundle, revision_id
• is_default_revision: Boolean

2. Launch Playground with Entity Context

Visit the URL with query parameters:

/admin/flowdrop/workflows/{workflow_id}/playground/entity?entity_type=node&entity_id=1

Optional parameters: bundle, revision_id, session_name

3. API Endpoint

POST /api/flowdrop-node-session/workflows/{workflow_id}/sessions
Content-Type: application/json

{
  "entity_type": "node",
  "entity_id": "1",
  "revision_id": "5",  // optional
  "bundle": "article", // optional
  "name": "Session Name" // optional
}

Creating URLs Programmatically

Route: flowdrop_node_session.playground.entity

use Drupal\Core\Url;

// Basic URL
$url = Url::fromRoute('flowdrop_node_session.playground.entity', [
  'workflow_id' => 'my_workflow',
], [
  'query' => [
    'entity_type' => 'node',
    'entity_id' => '123',
  ],
]);

// With revision
$url = Url::fromRoute('flowdrop_node_session.playground.entity', [
  'workflow_id' => 'my_workflow',
], [
  'query' => [
    'entity_type' => 'node',
    'entity_id' => '123',
    'revision_id' => '456',
    'bundle' => 'article',
    'session_name' => 'My Session',
  ],
]);

// Get URL string
$urlString = $url->toString();

// In Twig
{{ url('flowdrop_node_session.playground.entity', {
  'workflow_id': 'my_workflow'
}, {
  'query': {
    'entity_type': 'node',
    'entity_id': node.id
  }
}) }}

Route Parameters

Services

// Get the service
$nodeSessionService = \Drupal::service('flowdrop_node_session.service');

// Create session with entity context
$session = $nodeSessionService->createSessionWithEntityContext(
  $workflow,
  'node',
  '123',
  'article',  // bundle (optional)
  '456'       // revision_id (optional)
);

// Check if session has entity context
$hasContext = $nodeSessionService->hasEntityContext($session);

// Get entity context from session
$context = $nodeSessionService->getEntityContext($session);
