Workflow Core

Build status

Workflow Core is a light weight workflow engine targeting .NET Standard. Think: long running processes with multiple tasks that need to track state. It supports pluggable persistence and concurrency providers to allow for multi-node clusters.

Documentation

See Tutorial here.

Fluent API

Define your workflows with the fluent API.

public class MyWorkflow : IWorkflow
{
    public void Build(IWorkflowBuilder<MyData> builder)
    {    
        builder
           .StartWith<Task1>()
           .Then<Task2>()
           .Then<Task3>;
    }
}

Sample use cases

  • New user workflow
public class MyData
{
	public string Email { get; set; }
	public string Password { get; set; }
	public string UserId { get; set; }
}

public class MyWorkflow : IWorkflow
{
    public void Build(IWorkflowBuilder<MyData> builder)
    {    
        builder
            .StartWith<CreateUser>()
                .Input(step => step.Email, data => data.Email)
                .Input(step => step.Password, data => data.Password)
                .Output(data => data.UserId, step => step.UserId);
           .Then<SendConfirmationEmail>()
               .WaitFor("confirmation", data => data.UserId)
           .Then<UpdateUser>()
               .Input(step => step.UserId, data => data.UserId);
    }
}
  • Resilient service orchestration
public class MyWorkflow : IWorkflow
{
    public void Build(IWorkflowBuilder<MyData> builder)
    {    
        builder
            .StartWith<CreateCustomer>()
            .Then<PushToSalesforce>()
                .OnError(WorkflowErrorHandling.Retry, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10))
            .Then<PushToERP>()
                .OnError(WorkflowErrorHandling.Retry, TimeSpan.FromMinutes(10));
    }
}

Persistence

Since workflows are typically long running processes, they will need to be persisted to storage between steps. There are several persistence providers available as separate Nuget packages.
