=head1 NAME

Workflow::Context - Data blackboard for Workflows, Actions, Conditions and Validators

=head1 VERSION

This documentation describes version 1.62 of this package

=head1 SYNOPSIS

 # Create your own context and merge it with one that may already be
 # in a workflow

 my $context = Workflow::Context->new();
 $context->param( foo => 'bar' );
 $context->param( current_user => User->fetch( '[e-mail]' ) );
 my $wf = FACTORY()->create_workflow( 'w/f', $context );

 # The above is the same as:
 $context = Workflow::Context->new(
      foo   => 'bar',
      current_user => User->fetch( '[e-mail]' ),
 );
 $wf = FACTORY()->create_workflow( 'w/f', $context );


 # In a Condition get the 'current_user' back out of the workflow's context

 sub evaluate {
     my ( $self, $wf ) = @_;
     my $current_user = $wf->context->param( 'current_user' );
     ...
 }

 # Set values directly into a workflow's context

 $wf->context->param( foo => 'bar' );
 $wf->context->param( news => My::News->fetch_where( 'date = ?', DateTime->now ) );
