Child Workflows

This tutorial demonstrates how a workflow can call child workflows that are part of the same application. Child workflow can be used to break up large workflows into smaller, re-usable parts. For more information about child workflows see the Dapr docs.

Inspect the code

Open the ParentWorkflow.cs file in the tutorials/workflow/csharp/child-workflows/ChildWorkflows folder. This file contains the definition for the workflow.

The workflow iterates over the input array and schedules the ChildWorkflow for each of the input elements. The ChildWorkflow contains a sequence of two activities.

Parent workflow

graph LR
   SW((Start
   Workflow))
   subgraph for each word in the input
    GWL[Call child workflow]
   end
   ALL[Wait until all tasks
   are completed]
   EW((End
   Workflow))
   SW --> GWL
   GWL --> ALL
   ALL --> EW

Child workflow

graph LR
   SW((Start
   Workflow))
   A1[Activity1]
   A2[Activity2]
   EW((End
   Workflow))
   SW --> A1
   A1 --> A2
   A2 --> EW

Run the tutorial

Use a terminal to navigate to the tutorials/workflow/csharp/child-workflows folder.
Build the project using the .NET CLI.
```
dotnet build ./ChildWorkflows/
```
Use the Dapr CLI to run the Dapr Multi-App run file
```
dapr run -f .
```
Use the POST request in the childworkflows.http file to start the workflow.
Use the GET request in the childworkflows.http file to get the status of the workflow.
Stop the Dapr Multi-App run process by pressing Ctrl+C.
