WJb Docs - Basic

⚡ First Action

An Action is the basic unit of work in WJb.

It receives input, does something useful, and returns a Result.

Create an Action

using WJb;
public sealed class GreetAction : JobAction<string>
{
    public override Task<IActionResult> ExecuteAsync(
        string name, CancellationToken ct)
    {
        Console.WriteLine($"Hello, {name}!");
        return CompleteAsync();
    }
}

What this code does

• Inherits from JobAction
• Receives a string as input
• Prints a greeting
• Completes the workflow

Register the Action

var store = new InMemoryStore();
var wjb = WJbBuilder.Create(store, cfg =>
    {
        cfg.AddAction<GreetAction>("greet");
    })
    .Build(store);

The string "greet" is the action key. You will use this key when enqueueing jobs.

Key points

• One Action = one clear responsibility
• Actions are normal C# classes
• Input is strongly typed
• The Result decides what happens next
