Temporal TypeScript SDK Development Documentation

This guide provides a comprehensive overview of the structures, primitives, and features used in Temporal Application development.

Core Application

The Core Application section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK covers the essential concepts and implementation details needed to build and run a Temporal Application.

Temporal Client

The Temporal Client section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK describes how to use the Temporal Client to connect and start a Workflow Execution.

Test Suites

The Testing section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK describes how to test your Temporal Application.

Failure Detection

The Failure Detection section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK describes how to configure timeouts and heartbeat intervals for Activities and Workflows.

Messages

The Messages section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK describes how to use the Temporal Client to send messages to a Workflow Execution.

Cancellation

The Cancellation section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK describes how to cancel a Workflow Execution.

Asynchronous Activity Completion

The Asynchronous Activity Completion section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK describes how to complete Activities asynchronously.

Versioning

The Versioning section of the Temporal Developer's Guide covers how to update Workflow Definitions without causing non-deterministic behavior in current long-running Workflows.

Observability

The Observability section of the Temporal Developer's Guide covers how to configure and use the Temporal Observability APIs.

Debugging

The Debugging section of the Temporal Developer's Guide covers the various ways to debug your application.

Schedules

The Schedules section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK covers how to schedule Workflows, run Workflows on a Cron, and configure Workflows to run on a delay.

Data Encryption

The Converters and Codecs section of the Temporal Developer's Guide provides guidance on how to support compression, encryption, and other special data handling by implementing custom converters and codecs.

Child Workflows

The Child Workflows section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK covers how to spawn a Child Workflow Execution and handle Child Workflow Events.

Continue-As-New

The Continue-As-New section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK covers how to create a new Workflow Execution using the same Workflow ID as an existing Workflow Execution.

Timers

The Timers section of the Develop with Temporal TypeScript SDK covers how to use timers and sleeps within Workflows.
