Workflow REST API Generation

1 post · Feb 2022

What this trail covers

Temporal Workflows can now be exposed as REST APIs with minimal boilerplate using the temporal-rest library. This library automatically generates ExpressJS middleware to handle starting workflows, querying their state, and signaling them, abstracting away the need for manual API implementation and reducing boilerplate code for developers.

All Temporal trails
  1. REST API for every Temporal Workflow in one line of codeIntroduces `temporal-rest`, an npm package that generates ExpressJS middleware to create RESTful APIs for Temporal Workflows. Demonstrates how to use the middleware to start workflows, send signals, and execute queries with examples for single counters and multi-counter scenarios, including passing parameters via request bodies and query strings.
