Overview

Client for accessing Temporal.

Most users will use Client.connect to connect a client. The #workflow_service method provides access to a raw gRPC client. To create another client on the same connection, like for a different namespace, #options may be used to get the options as a struct which can then be dup’d, altered, and splatted as kwargs to the constructor (e.g. Client.new(**my_options.to_h)).

Clients are thread-safe and are meant to be reused for the life of the application. They are built to work in both synchronous and asynchronous contexts. Internally they use callbacks based on Queue which means they are Fiber-compatible.

Defined Under Namespace

Constructor Details

#initialize(connection:, namespace:, data_converter: DataConverter.default, plugins: [], interceptors: [], logger: Logger.new($stdout, level: Logger::WARN), default_workflow_query_reject_condition: nil) ⇒ Client

Create a client from an existing connection. Most users will prefer connect instead. Parameters here match Options returned from #options by intention so options can be dup’d, altered, and splatted to create a new client.

Parameters:

  • connection (Connection)

    Existing connection to create a client from.

  • namespace (String)

    Namespace to use for client calls.

  • data_converter (Converters::DataConverter) (defaults to: DataConverter.default)

    Data converter to use for all data conversions to/from payloads.

  • plugins (Array<Plugin>) (defaults to: [])

    Plugins to use for configuring clients. Any plugins that also include Worker::Plugin will automatically be applied to the worker and should not be configured explicitly on the worker. WARNING: Plugins are experimental.

  • interceptors (Array<Interceptor>) (defaults to: [])

    Set of interceptors that are chained together to allow intercepting of client calls. The earlier interceptors wrap the later ones. Any interceptors that also implement worker interceptor will be used as worker interceptors too so they should not be given separately when creating a worker.

  • logger (Logger) (defaults to: Logger.new($stdout, level: Logger::WARN))

    Logger to use for this client and any workers made from this client. Defaults to stdout with warn level. Callers setting this logger are responsible for closing it.

  • default_workflow_query_reject_condition (WorkflowQueryRejectCondition, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Default rejection condition for workflow queries if not set during query. See Temporalio::Client::WorkflowHandle#query for details on the rejection condition.

Class Method Details

.connect(target_host, namespace, api_key: nil, tls: nil, data_converter: Converters::DataConverter.default, plugins: [], interceptors: [], logger: Logger.new($stdout, level: Logger::WARN), default_workflow_query_reject_condition: nil, rpc_metadata: {}, rpc_retry: Connection::RPCRetryOptions.new, identity: "#{Process.pid}@#{Socket.gethostname}", keep_alive: Connection::KeepAliveOptions.new, http_connect_proxy: nil, runtime: Runtime.default, lazy_connect: false) ⇒ Client

Connect to Temporal server. This is a shortcut for Connection.new followed by Client.new.

Parameters:

  • target_host (String)

    host:port for the Temporal server. For local development, this is often localhost:7233.

  • namespace (String)

    Namespace to use for client calls.

  • api_key (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    API key for Temporal. This becomes the Authorization HTTP header with “Bearer ” prepended. This is only set if RPC metadata doesn’t already have an authorization key.

  • tls (Boolean, Connection::TLSOptions) (defaults to: nil)

    If false, do not use TLS. If true, use system default TLS options. If TLS options are present, those TLS options will be used.

  • data_converter (Converters::DataConverter) (defaults to: Converters::DataConverter.default)

    Data converter to use for all data conversions to/from payloads.

  • plugins (Array<Plugin>) (defaults to: [])

    Plugins to use for configuring clients and intercepting connection. Any plugins that also include Worker::Plugin will automatically be applied to the worker and should not be configured explicitly on the worker. WARNING: Plugins are experimental.

  • interceptors (Array<Interceptor>) (defaults to: [])

    Set of interceptors that are chained together to allow intercepting of client calls. The earlier interceptors wrap the later ones. Any interceptors that also implement worker interceptor will be used as worker interceptors too so they should not be given separately when creating a worker.

  • logger (Logger) (defaults to: Logger.new($stdout, level: Logger::WARN))

    Logger to use for this client and any workers made from this client. Defaults to stdout with warn level. Callers setting this logger are responsible for closing it.

  • default_workflow_query_reject_condition (WorkflowQueryRejectCondition, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Default rejection condition for workflow queries if not set during query. See Temporalio::Client::WorkflowHandle#query for details on the rejection condition.

  • rpc_metadata (Hash<String, String>) (defaults to: {})

    Headers to use for all calls to the server. Keys here can be overriden by per-call RPC metadata keys.

  • rpc_retry (Connection::RPCRetryOptions) (defaults to: Connection::RPCRetryOptions.new)

    Retry options for direct service calls (when opted in) or all high-level calls made by this client (which all opt-in to retries by default).

  • identity (String) (defaults to: "#{Process.pid}@#{Socket.gethostname}")

    Identity for this client.

  • keep_alive (Connection::KeepAliveOptions) (defaults to: Connection::KeepAliveOptions.new)

    Keep-alive options for the client connection. Can be set to nil to disable.

  • http_connect_proxy (Connection::HTTPConnectProxyOptions, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Options for HTTP CONNECT proxy.

  • runtime (Runtime) (defaults to: Runtime.default)

    Runtime for this client.

  • lazy_connect (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    If true, the client will not connect until the first call is attempted or a worker is created with it. Lazy clients cannot be used for workers if they have not performed a connection.

Returns:

  • (Client)

    Connected client.

  • id (String) (defaults to: SecureRandom.uuid)

    ID of the update.

  • arg_hints (Array<Object>, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Overrides converter hints for update arguments if any. If unset/nil and the update definition has arg hints, those are used by default.

Start a workflow and wait for its result. This is a shortcut for #start_workflow + Temporalio::Client::WorkflowHandle#result.

Parameters:

  • workflow (Class<Workflow::Definition>, Symbol, String)

    Workflow definition class or workflow name.

  • args (Array<Object>)

    Arguments to the workflow.

  • id (String)

    Unique identifier for the workflow execution.

  • task_queue (String)

    Task queue to run the workflow on.

  • static_summary (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Fixed single-line summary for this workflow execution that may appear in CLI/UI. This can be in single-line Temporal markdown format. This is currently experimental.

  • static_details (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Fixed details for this workflow execution that may appear in CLI/UI. This can be in Temporal markdown format and can be multiple lines. This is a fixed value on the workflow that cannot be updated. For details that can be updated, use Workflow.current_details= within the workflow. This is currently experimental.

  • execution_timeout (Float, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Total workflow execution timeout in seconds including retries and continue as new.

  • run_timeout (Float, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Timeout of a single workflow run in seconds.

  • task_timeout (Float, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Timeout of a single workflow task in seconds.

  • id_reuse_policy (WorkflowIDReusePolicy) (defaults to: WorkflowIDReusePolicy::ALLOW_DUPLICATE)

    How already-existing IDs are treated.

  • id_conflict_policy (WorkflowIDConflictPolicy) (defaults to: WorkflowIDConflictPolicy::UNSPECIFIED)

    How already-running workflows of the same ID are treated. Default is unspecified which effectively means fail the start attempt. This cannot be set if id_reuse_policy is set to terminate if running.

  • retry_policy (RetryPolicy, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Retry policy for the workflow.

  • cron_schedule (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Cron schedule. Users should use schedules instead of this.

  • memo (Hash{String, Symbol => Object}, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Memo for the workflow.

  • search_attributes (SearchAttributes, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Search attributes for the workflow.

  • start_delay (Float, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Amount of time in seconds to wait before starting the workflow. This does not work with cron_schedule.

  • request_eager_start (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    Potentially reduce the latency to start this workflow by encouraging the server to start it on a local worker running with this same client. This is currently experimental.

  • versioning_override (VersioningOverride, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Override the version of the workflow. This is currently experimental.

  • priority (Priority) (defaults to: Priority.default)

    Priority for the workflow. This is currently experimental.

  • arg_hints (Array<Object>, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Overrides converter hints for arguments if any. If unset/nil and the workflow definition has arg hints, those are used by default.

  • result_hint (Object, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Overrides converter hint for result if any. If unset/nil and the workflow definition has result hint, it is used by default.

  • rpc_options (RPCOptions, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Advanced RPC options.

Returns:

  • (Object)

    Successful result of the workflow.

    Overrides converter hints for update arguments if any. If unset/nil and the update definition has arg hints, those are used by default.

  • result_hint (Object, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Overrides converter hint for update result if any. If unset/nil and the update definition has result hint, it is used by default.

  • rpc_options (RPCOptions, nil) (defaults to: nil)

Start a workflow and return its handle.

Parameters:

  • workflow (Class<Workflow::Definition>, String, Symbol)

    Workflow definition class or workflow name.

  • args (Array<Object>)

    Arguments to the workflow.

  • id (String)

    Unique identifier for the workflow execution.

  • task_queue (String)

    Task queue to run the workflow on.

  • static_summary (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Fixed single-line summary for this workflow execution that may appear in CLI/UI. This can be in single-line Temporal markdown format. This is currently experimental.

  • static_details (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Fixed details for this workflow execution that may appear in CLI/UI. This can be in Temporal markdown format and can be multiple lines. This is a fixed value on the workflow that cannot be updated. For details that can be updated, use Workflow.current_details= within the workflow. This is currently experimental.

  • execution_timeout (Float, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Total workflow execution timeout in seconds including retries and continue as new.

  • run_timeout (Float, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Timeout of a single workflow run in seconds.

    How already-existing IDs are treated.

  • id_conflict_policy (WorkflowIDConflictPolicy) (defaults to: WorkflowIDConflictPolicy::UNSPECIFIED)

    How already-running workflows of the same ID are treated. Default is unspecified which effectively means fail the start attempt. This cannot be set if id_reuse_policy is set to terminate if running.

  • retry_policy (RetryPolicy, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Retry policy for the workflow.

  • cron_schedule (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Cron schedule. Users should use schedules instead of this.

    Memo for the workflow.

  • search_attributes (SearchAttributes, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Search attributes for the workflow.

  • start_delay (Float, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Amount of time in seconds to wait before starting the workflow. This does not work with cron_schedule.

  • request_eager_start (Boolean) (defaults to: false)

    Potentially reduce the latency to start this workflow by encouraging the server to start it on a local worker running with this same client. This is currently experimental.

  • versioning_override (VersioningOverride, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Override the version of the workflow. This is currently experimental.

  • priority (Priority) (defaults to: Priority.default)

    Priority of the workflow. This is currently experimental.

  • arg_hints (Array<Object>, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Overrides converter hints for arguments if any. If unset/nil and the workflow definition has arg hints, those are used by default.

  • result_hint (Object, nil) (defaults to: nil)

Parameters:

  • workflow_id (String)

    Workflow ID to get a handle to.

  • run_id (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Run ID that will be used for all calls. Many choose to leave this unset which ensures interactions occur on the latest of the workflow ID.

  • first_execution_run_id (String, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    First execution run ID used for some calls like cancellation and termination to ensure the affected workflow is only within the same chain as this given run ID.

  • result_hint (Object, nil) (defaults to: nil)

    Converter hint for the workflow’s result.
