[workbench_email] Workbench Email

porting the module to d8

With Workbench Moderation stable, here's what developers need to know.

* During EntityPresave, Workbench Moderation calculates the state transition. See \Drupal\workbench_moderation\EntityOperations::entityPresave().

* A new \Drupal\workbench_moderation\Event\WorkbenchModerationTransitionEvent is created and sent to an Event Dispatcher tagged workbench_moderation.state_transition.

* The WorkbenchModerationTransitionEvent object has public methods for getEntity(), getStateBefore(), and getStateAfter().

* Modules may act as desired by declaring an EventSubscriber that responds to WorkbenchModerationEvents::STATE_TRANSITION.

* Cancelling the transition is not allowed.

So for this module, an EventSubscriber that triggers the email service would be ideal.

If there is sandbox code anywhere, I'd be happy to review.

@ramarajuk please let me know how the port to D8 is going and if you need any help with it (coding, testing)

@joebachana got busy with other work and could not make any progress.

plan was to implement as follows

Create a a new service.

services:
workbench_email.config_subscriber:
class: Drupal\workbench_email\EventSubscriber\WorkbenchEventSubscriber
tags:
- { name: event_subscriber }

Create the subscriber classs

use Symfony\Component\EventDispatcher\EventSubscriberInterface;
use Drupal\workbench_moderation\Event\WorkbenchModerationEvents;

class WorkbenchEventSubscriber implements EventSubscriberInterface {

static function getSubscribedEvents() {
$events[WorkbenchModerationEvents::STATE_TRANSITION][] = array('handleEmails');
return $events;
}
.......
.......

@ramarajuk sounds good (subject to @agentrickard feedback). When done please lmk and will be happy to help test

That looks exactly in line with what I was thinking. The real core of the module will be in the management User Interface for subscribing to emails.

Working on this

sticking the repo above

I consider the code in https://github.com/larowlan/workbench_email to be ready now.

See the README for screenshots and configuration instructions.

Happy to be maintainer of D8 branch if that helps.

We have an alpha

As I learned in another issue, Alpha doesn't mean done for the purposes of this tracker.

Thanks for the great work.

What are the blockers for an RC for this module?

Thanks
