Task

class Task:
    def execute(context: ExecutionContext) -> None

    @staticmethod
    def identifier() -> tuple[str, str]

Base class for Tilebox workflows tasks. Inherit from this class to create a task. Inheriting also automatically applies the dataclass decorator.

​

Methods

def Task.execute(context: ExecutionContext) -> None

The entry point for the execution of the task.

@staticmethod
def Task.identifier() -> tuple[str, str]

Override a task identifier and specify its version. If not overridden, the identifier of a task defaults to the class name, and the version to v0.0.

    message: str
    value: int
    data: dict[str, int]
