File-Sort

A simple Temporal Workflow that moves files from one directory to another with some subdirectories.

EXPERIMENTAL

This repo is mainly meant for testing how temporal works and doing some hands on learning.

Setup

For running locally, set the following ENV vars:

FROM_DIR="/your/path"
TO_DIR="/your/path"
TEMPORAL_HOSTPORT="your-ip:7233" # defaults to localhost:7233
TASK_QUEUE_NAME="your-queue-name" # defaults to file-sort-queue

Alternatively use the docker-compose.yaml.

Components

Trigger
