Can we run approval based on specific conditions, such as if certain model attributes match specific criteria?

Can we run approval based on specific conditions, such as if certain model attributes match specific criteria? If they do, run approval; otherwise, do not.

Should be able to do that by just overriding the boot method in the Approvable trait.
What I did was create a new trait, extend the ringlesoft approvable trait in my trait then I override the boot method. Something like below
`
protected static function boot(): void
{
parent::boot();

    if (!Auth::user()->isAdmin()) {
        static::created(static function ($model) {
            if ($model->transaction_type && !in_array($model->transaction_type, TransactionType::approvable())) {
                return;
            }

            if (method_exists($model, 'gaurantors') && $model->gaurantors()->where('status', 'pending')->exists()) {
                return;
            }

            $model->approvalStatus()->create([
                'steps' => $model->approvalFlowSteps()->map(function ($item) {
                    return $item->toApprovalStatusArray();
                }),
                'status' => ApprovalStatusEnum::CREATED->value,
                'creator_id' => Auth::id(),
            ]);

            if (property_exists($model, 'autoSubmit') && $model->autoSubmit) {
                $model->submit(Auth::user());
            }
        });
    }
}

Okay, thanks! I will definitely give it a try. Is there anything from you on this, @ringunger ?

@ehtashamGH , @kraziegent in the latest version 1.1.0 I have introduced a new method bypassApprovalProcess() to address this scenario.
Thanks @kraziegent for your input.
