Combinations of Controllers/Actions that span wider than 2-3 Actions are simple to code, but often result in extremely rigid and unflexible structures that are not easily extendable or modularized. The biggest example is for example a User Registration, this kind of process varies quite extremely in any kind of project. Some times it's enough to have a simple form + e-mail verification, sometimes you need a quite complex process with verification, invoicing, reviewing, etc. Currently it's often necessary to reimplement various of this things from the ground up.

I've been toying with a basic concept for a while in my head which could be shortly described as combination of controllers/actions that are tied together by conditions through a settings.yaml which share and manipulate a state that's automatically persisted.

###Terminology

Soul: The Soul is an entity containing the current state of the process Fragment: a Fragment is

This gist is a collection of classes and configurations that enable to have an entity as a "persistent" context in multiple controllers.

ClientRoutePartHandler.php + Routes.yaml: these to handle the conversion of the route
ClientContextAware.php: identifies a controller to be ClientContextAware
ClientArgumentAspect.php: checks if the current controller ist ClientContextAware and adds the argument client to any url that is build without manual intervention
ClientContext.php: fetches the current client as a context, you can inject this class into anything where you might need the client to work with inside a ClientContextAware Controllercall.
Package.php: Injects the current Request into the ClientContext
