# Temporal Core SDK

Core SDK that can be used as a base for other Temporal SDKs. It is currently used as the base of:

- [TypeScript SDK](https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-typescript/)
- [Python SDK](https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-python/)
- [.NET SDK](https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-dotnet/)
- [Ruby SDK](https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-ruby/)

For the reasoning behind the Core SDK, see:
# Documentation

- [Why Rust powers Temporal’s new Core SDK](https://temporal.io/blog/why-rust-powers-core-sdk).
Core SDK documentation can be generated with `cargo doc`, output will be placed in the
`target/doc` directory.

See the [Architecture](ARCHITECTURE.md) doc for some high-level information about how Core works
[Architecture](ARCHITECTURE.md) doc provides some high-level information about how Core SDK works
and how language layers interact with it.

# Development

You will need the `protoc` protobuf compiler installed to build Core.
You will need the `protoc` [protobuf compiler](https://grpc.io/docs/protoc-installation)
installed to build Core.

This repo is composed of multiple crates:
* temporal-sdk-core-protos `./sdk-core-protos` - Holds the generated proto code and extensions
* temporal-client `./client` - Defines client(s) for interacting with the Temporal gRPC service
* temporal-sdk-core-api `./core-api` - Defines the API surface exposed by Core
* temporal-sdk-core `./core` - The Core implementation
* temporal-sdk `./sdk` - A (currently prototype) Rust SDK built on top of Core. Used for testing.
* rustfsm `./fsm` - Implements a procedural macro used by core for defining state machines

- rustfsm `./fsm` - Implements a procedural macro used by core for defining state machines
(contains subcrates). It is temporal agnostic.

## Debugging

The crate uses [tracing](https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing) to help with debugging. To enable
it for a test, insert the below snippet at the start of the test. By default, tracing data is output
to stdout in a (reasonably) pretty manner.

# The Rust "SDK"

This repo contains a *prototype* Rust sdk in the `sdk/` directory. This SDK should be considered
pre-alpha in terms of its API surface. Since it's still using Core underneath, it is generally
functional. We do not currently have any firm plans to productionize this SDK. If you want to write
workflows and activities in Rust, feel free to use it - but be aware that the API may change at any
time without warning and we do not provide any support guarantees.
