Workflows

Workflows in Porla are, at their core, plugins that uses the various workflows packages. These packages wrap other Porla APIs and makes them easier to use in an asynchronous matter.

Anything that you can build with the workflow APIs can also be built without them, albeit with a bit more code.

To load workflows, set the workflow_dir. Porla will load each .lua file in this directory.

The simplest workflow

A really simple workflow that logs Hello from a workflow every time a torrent is added.

workflows/the-simplest-workflow.lua

local workflows = require("workflows")
local log       = require("workflows.actions.log")
local added     = require("workflows.triggers.torrent").added

function porla.init()
    workflows.add({
        trigger = added(),
        actions = {
            log("Hello from a workflow")
        }
    })
end
