member-console/internal/workflows

Temporal Workflows

This directory contains the Temporal workflow definitions, activity implementations, and worker configuration for the member-console application.

Structure: Domain-Based

We use a Domain-Based (or Feature-Based) structure. Instead of grouping all workflows in one folder and all activities in another, we group them by business domain.

Adding a New Domain

1. Create a directory: internal/workflows/<domain_name>/
2. Define the Workflow: Create workflow.go in that directory.
3. Define Activities: Create activities.go in that directory.
   • Define a struct (e.g., Activities) to hold dependencies (DB, Logger).
   • Implement a NewActivities constructor.
4. Register: Go to internal/workflows/worker.go and add your new domain to the NewWorker function:

// internal/workflows/worker.go

// ... inside NewWorker ...
w.RegisterWorkflow(yourdomain.Workflow)
w.RegisterActivity(yourdomain.NewActivities(cfg.DB, cfg.Logger))

Usage

Starting the Worker

The worker is embedded in the main application but can be extracted later.

import "git.coopcloud.tech/wiki-cafe/member-console/internal/workflows"

// ... in your main setup ...
workerCfg := workflows.DefaultWorkerConfig(database, logger)
worker, err := workflows.NewWorker(temporalClient, workerCfg)
if err := worker.Start(); err != nil {
    // handle error
}
defer worker.Stop()

Starting a Workflow

import (
    "git.coopcloud.tech/wiki-cafe/member-console/internal/workflows"
    "git.coopcloud.tech/wiki-cafe/member-console/internal/workflows/queues"
    "git.coopcloud.tech/wiki-cafe/member-console/internal/workflows/example"
)

// ... inside an HTTP handler ...
workflowOpts := client.StartWorkflowOptions{
    ID:        "example-" + uuid.New().String(),
    TaskQueue: queues.Main,
}

we, err := temporalClient.ExecuteWorkflow(
    ctx,
    workflowOpts,
    example.Workflow, // Pass the function reference
    example.Input{Message: "hello"},
)
