Drafting

Workflows4s comes with a dedicated API for creating renderable but NOT runnable workflow definitions. Its goal is to allow defining the structure of a workflow that can be discussed with the team or stakeholders, before committing more time to the actual implementation.

The entire drafting API is exposed under WIO.draft and documented alongside specific operations.

Details​

Drafts use exactly the same model under the hood as real definitions, but filled with dummy logic.

The drafting support simplifies the API in the following ways:

  • Not requiring type parameters
  • Not requiring event handling
  • Not requiring run logic
  • Automatically generating names from the context if not provided explicitly
  • Making as many parameters as possible optional
