Temporal External Client Configuration Samples

This directory contains samples that demonstrate how to use the external client configuration feature. This feature allows you to configure a client using a TOML file and/or environment variables, decoupling connection settings from your application code.

To see a basic use of external env config, see the hello world sample and how it uses envconfig.MustLoadDefaultClientOptions.

Running

1. Run a Temporal service.
2. Run the following command to start the worker

go run external-env-conf/worker/main.go

3. Run the following command to start the example

go run external-env-conf/starter/main.go

External configuration options

There are a few options for external configuration, see the different options in LoadProfile() in externalenvconf.go. The client config options loading is shared both by the worker and starter code, ensuring both clients use the same connection settings.

NOTE: Any environment variables will override any value set in a config file.

To see more details on external env configuration, including setting environment variables, see the environment configuration docs page.
