Returns

TimeSkippingWorkflowClient

Properties

connection

Readonly connection: ConnectionLike

The underlying Connection | connection used by this client.

Clients are cheap to create, but connections are expensive. Where that make sense, a single connection may and should be reused by multiple Client.

WorkflowClient.options

Accessors

workflowService

get workflowService(): WorkflowService

Raw gRPC access to the Temporal service.

NOTE: The namespace provided in options is not automatically set on requests made via this service object.

Returns

WorkflowService

Methods

execute

execute<T>(workflowTypeOrFunc, options): Promise<WorkflowResultType<T>>

Starts a new Workflow execution and awaits its completion.

Type parameters

NameType
Textends Workflow

Parameters

NameType
workflowTypeOrFuncstring | T
optionsWorkflowStartOptions<T>

Returns

Promise<WorkflowResultType<T>>

the result of the Workflow execution

WorkflowClient.execute


getHandle

getHandle<T>(workflowId, runId?, options?): WorkflowHandle<T>

Create a handle to an existing Workflow.

  • If only workflowId is passed, and there are multiple Workflow Executions with that ID, the handle will refer to the most recent one.
  • If workflowId and runId are passed, the handle will refer to the specific Workflow Execution with that Run ID.
  • If workflowId and GetWorkflowHandleOptions.firstExecutionRunId are passed, the handle will refer to the most recent Workflow Execution in the Chain that started with firstExecutionRunId.

A Chain is a series of Workflow Executions that share the same Workflow ID and are connected by:

This method does not validate workflowId. If there is no Workflow Execution with the given workflowId, handle methods like handle.describe() will throw a WorkflowNotFoundError error.

Type parameters

NameType
Textends Workflow

Parameters

NameType
workflowIdstring
runId?string
options?GetWorkflowHandleOptions

Returns

WorkflowHandle<T>

Inherited from

WorkflowClient.getHandle


list

list(options?): AsyncWorkflowListIterable

List workflows by given query.

⚠️ To use advanced query functionality, as of the 1.18 server release, you must use Elasticsearch based visibility.

More info on the concept of "visibility" and the query syntax on the Temporal documentation site: https://docs.temporal.io/visibility

Parameters

NameType
options?ListOptions

Returns

AsyncWorkflowListIterable

Inherited from

WorkflowClient.list


result

result<T>(workflowId, runId?, opts?): Promise<T>

Gets the result of a Workflow execution.

Type parameters

Name
T

Parameters

NameType
workflowIdstring
runId?string
opts?WorkflowResultOptions

Returns

Promise<T>

signalWithStart

signalWithStart<WorkflowFn, SignalArgs>(workflowTypeOrFunc, options): Promise<WorkflowHandleWithSignaledRunId<WorkflowFn>>

Sends a Signal to a running Workflow or starts a new one if not already running and immediately Signals it. Useful when you're unsure whether the Workflow has been started.

Type parameters

NameType
WorkflowFnextends Workflow
SignalArgsextends any[] = []

Parameters

NameType
workflowTypeOrFuncstring | WorkflowFn
optionsWithWorkflowArgs<WorkflowFn, WorkflowSignalWithStartOptions<SignalArgs>>

Returns

Promise<WorkflowHandleWithSignaledRunId<WorkflowFn>>

a WorkflowHandle to the started Workflow

Inherited from

WorkflowClient.signalWithStart


start

start<T>(workflowTypeOrFunc, options): Promise<WorkflowHandleWithFirstExecutionRunId<T>>

Start a new Workflow execution.

Type parameters

NameType
Textends Workflow

Parameters

NameType
workflowTypeOrFuncstring | T
optionsWorkflowStartOptions<T>

Returns

Promise<WorkflowHandleWithFirstExecutionRunId<T>>

a WorkflowHandle to the started Workflow

Inherited from

WorkflowClient.start


withAbortSignal

withAbortSignal<R>(abortSignal, fn): Promise<R>

Set an AbortSignal that, when aborted, cancels any ongoing service requests executed in fn's scope. This will locally result in the request call throwing a _grpc.ServiceError|ServiceError with code _grpc.status.CANCELLED|CANCELLED; see isGrpcCancelledError.

This method is only a convenience wrapper around Connection.withAbortSignal.

Type parameters

Name
R

Parameters

NameType
abortSignalAbortSignal
fn() => Promise<R>

Returns

Promise<R>

value returned from fn

See

https://developer.mozilla.org/en-US/docs/Web/API/AbortSignal

Inherited from

WorkflowClient.withAbortSignal


withDeadline

withDeadline<R>(deadline, fn): Promise<R>

Set a deadline for any service requests executed in fn's scope.

The deadline is a point in time after which any pending gRPC request will be considered as failed; this will locally result in the request call throwing a _grpc.ServiceError|ServiceError with code _grpc.status.DEADLINE_EXCEEDED|DEADLINE_EXCEEDED; see isGrpcDeadlineError.

It is stronly recommended to explicitly set deadlines. If no deadline is set, then it is possible for the client to end up waiting forever for a response.

This method is only a convenience wrapper around Connection.withDeadline.

Type parameters

Name
R

Parameters

NameTypeDescription
deadlinenumber | Datea point in time after which the request will be considered as failed; either a Date object, or a number of milliseconds since the Unix epoch (UTC).
fn() => Promise<R>-

Returns

Promise<R>

the value returned from fn

WorkflowClient.withDeadline


withMetadata

withMetadata<R>(metadata, fn): Promise<R>

Set metadata for any service requests executed in fn's scope.

This method is only a convenience wrapper around Connection.withMetadata.

Type parameters

Name
R

Parameters

NameType
metadataMetadata
fn() => Promise<R>

Returns

Promise<R>

returned value of fn
