Roadmap
This roadmap describes direction, not delivery dates. Priorities may shift based on community feedback.
DBFlow Core, Filament Standard, and DBFlow Pro reached 1.0 stable on 2026-07-07. Items below are intentions — not commitments with timelines.
Now
Current focus:
- Documentation and examples — install paths, host integration, and walkthroughs aligned with 1.0 APIs
- Demo application — refund and purchase-request flows on real models
- Pro builder polish — canvas UX, validation, and Standard resolver integration
Next
Near-term direction:
- More examples — expense approval, vendor onboarding, and host integration patterns
- Workflow templates — starter graphs in Pro
- Structured condition editor — visual/advanced dual mode (planned for Core 1.1; runtime still uses
transition.conditionstrings) - Better installation experience — clearer quick-start and host integration guides
Later
Exploratory — not scheduled:
- Escalation chains — multi-step timeout escalation beyond
reject_end - Advanced audit export — compliance-oriented log export
- WordPress / WooCommerce adapter — outside current Laravel scope; under consideration only
Shipped in 1.0 (no longer roadmap)
These capabilities are available today — see package docs and Host Integration:
- Task reassignment (
DBFlow::reassign(), Filament My Tasks action) - Approval timeouts (
config.timeout+php artisan dbflow:process-timeouts) - Laravel events (
DbflowLabs\Core\Events\*) alongsideWorkflowHooks/TaskHooks - Artisan commands —
dbflow:sync,dbflow:validate,dbflow:process-timeouts
What we are not building
To keep scope clear:
- A general BPM or BPMN server
- A low-code or no-code automation platform
- A Zapier-style integration bus
DBFlow stays focused on approval workflows attached to Laravel Eloquent models.
