# Windmill Script Writing Guide
## General Principles
- Scripts must export a main function (do not call it)
- Libraries are installed automatically - do not show installation instructions
- Credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters
- The windmill client (`wmill`) provides APIs for interacting with the platform
## Function Naming
- Main function: `main` (or `preprocessor` for preprocessor scripts)
- Must be async for TypeScript variants
## Return Values
- Scripts can return any JSON-serializable value
- Return values become available to subsequent flow steps via `results.step_id`
## Preprocessor Scripts
Preprocessor scripts process raw trigger data from various sources (webhook, custom HTTP route, SQS, WebSocket, Kafka, NATS, MQTT, Postgres, or email) before passing it to the flow. This separates the trigger logic from the flow logic and keeps the auto-generated UI clean.
The returned object determines the parameter values passed to the flow.
e.g., `{ b: 1, a: 2 }` calls the flow with `a = 2` and `b = 1`, assuming the flow has two inputs called `a` and `b`.
The preprocessor receives a single parameter called `event`.
# Ansible
Windmill runs Ansible playbooks with `ansible-playbook`. A script is a single YAML
document made of two parts separated by a `---` line: a Windmill **header** and one or
more standard Ansible **plays**.
## Structure
```yaml
---
# Windmill header: configures inventories, file resources, arguments and dependencies
extra_vars:
world_qualifier:
type: string
dependencies:
galaxy:
collections:
- name: community.general
python:
- jmespath
---
# Standard Ansible plays
- name: Echo
hosts: 127.0.0.1
connection: local
tasks:
- name: Print debug message
debug:
msg: "Hello, {{ world_qualifier }} world!"
```
## Header
The header is **not** standard Ansible — it is parsed by Windmill to build the script's
inputs and runtime environment. Supported keys:
- `extra_vars`: defines the script arguments. Each entry is passed to the playbook via
`--extra-vars` and becomes a Jinja variable usable as `{{ name }}` in the plays. Give
each argument a `type` (`string`, `number`, `boolean`, `object`, ...) so Windmill can
generate the input form.
- `inventory`: lists inventories. Use `resource_type: ansible_inventory` (optionally
pinned with `resource: u/user/your_resource`) or `resource_type: dynamic_inventory`.
- `files`: writes Windmill resources/variables to files before the run, e.g.
`- resource: u/user/template` with `target: ./config.j2`, or
`- variable: u/user/ssh_key` with `target: ./ssh_key` and `mode: '0600'`.
- `dependencies`: `galaxy` collections/roles (installed with `ansible-galaxy`) and
`python` pip packages available to the playbook.
- `options`: extra `ansible-playbook` flags such as `- verbosity: vvv`.
- `vault_password`: a Windmill variable path to use as the Ansible Vault password.
## Arguments
Reference header `extra_vars` directly as Jinja variables in the plays:
```yaml
extra_vars:
name:
type: string
count:
type: number
---
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- debug:
msg: "{{ name }} x {{ count }}"
```
## Environment variables
Windmill contextual variables are available as environment variables and read with the
`env` lookup:
```yaml
- debug:
msg: "Running in workspace {{ lookup('env', 'WM_WORKSPACE') }}"
```
## Output
To return a result, write JSON to a `result.json` file in the job directory:
```yaml
- hosts: localhost
tasks:
- name: Write result
copy:
content: "{{ { 'ok': true, 'value': 42 } | to_json }}"
dest: result.json
```
# Bash
## Structure
Do not include `#!/bin/bash`. Arguments are obtained as positional parameters:
```bash
# Get arguments
var1="$1"
var2="$2"
echo "Processing $var1 and $var2"
# Return JSON by echoing to stdout
echo "{\"result\": \"$var1\", \"count\": $var2}"
```
**Important:**
- Do not include shebang (`#!/bin/bash`)
- Arguments are always strings
- Access with `$1`, `$2`, etc.
## Output
The script output is captured as the result. For structured data, output valid JSON:
```bash
name="$1"
count="$2"
# Output JSON result
cat << EOF
{
"name": "$name",
"count": $count,
"timestamp": "$(date -Iseconds)"
}
EOF
```
## Environment Variables
Environment variables set in Windmill are available:
```bash
# Access environment variable
echo "Workspace: $WM_WORKSPACE"
echo "Job ID: $WM_JOB_ID"
```
# BigQuery
Arguments use `@name` syntax.
Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:
```sql
-- @name1 (string)
-- @name2 (int64) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = @name1 AND age > @name2;
```
## Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
Declare the arg with type `(s3object)`. Windmill renders an S3 file picker for
it, downloads the file, and binds it as a `STRING` JSON parameter — Parquet/CSV
files are decoded server-side into a JSON array of records, JSON/JSONL pass
through. Consume with `JSON_EXTRACT_ARRAY` / `JSON_VALUE`:
```sql
-- @file (s3object)
SELECT
CAST(JSON_VALUE(row, '$.id') AS INT64) AS id,
JSON_VALUE(row, '$.name') AS name
FROM UNNEST(JSON_EXTRACT_ARRAY(@file)) AS row;
```
## Streaming query results to S3
Add a `-- s3` directive at the top of the script to stream the result set to S3
instead of returning rows. Windmill writes the file and returns its `S3Object`
as the script result.
```sql
-- s3 prefix=exports/users format=parquet
SELECT id, name FROM users;
```
All keys are optional: `prefix` (object key prefix), `storage` (named storage —
omit to use the workspace default), `format` (`json` (default), `parquet`, or
`csv`). Use this for large result sets — rows stream directly to S3 instead of
being buffered, bypassing the 10000-row return cap.
# TypeScript (Bun)
Bun runtime with full npm ecosystem and fastest execution.
## Structure
Export a single **async** function called `main`:
```typescript
export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
// Your code here
return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}
```
Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.
## Resource Types
On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.
Use the `RT` namespace for resource types:
```typescript
export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
// stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}
```
Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.
Before using a resource type, check the `rt.d.ts` file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by `wmill resource-type generate-namespace`.
## Imports
```typescript
import Stripe from "stripe";
import { someFunction } from "some-package";
```
## Prefer `//native` when the runtime allows it
If a script only needs `fetch` and the JavaScript standard library — including when it uses `windmill-client` — prefer making it a **native** script: add `//native` as the first line and write it with the `write-script-bunnative` skill. Native scripts run on a lightweight V8 isolate, start faster, and parallelize heavily. `windmill-client` works on the native worker (its calls go over `fetch`), so needing the Windmill client is **not** a reason to avoid `//native`. Use the regular `bun` language only when the code (or a dependency) needs Node/Bun runtime APIs — `node:*` modules, the filesystem, child processes, or native addons.
## Windmill Client
Import the windmill client for platform interactions:
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
```
**Prefer `windmill-client` over raw `fetch` for anything that talks to Windmill** — reading resources/variables/states, running scripts and flows, S3 object operations, etc. It handles auth, the workspace, and the base URL for you, so you don't hand-roll URLs or tokens. Reserve `fetch` for calling *external* HTTP APIs that aren't Windmill.
The full `windmill-client` API reference (every exported function and its signature) is included in this skill below — consult it for the exact method to use instead of guessing or falling back to `fetch`.
## Preprocessor Scripts
For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named `preprocessor` and receives an `event` parameter:
```typescript
type Event = {
kind:
| "webhook"
| "http"
| "websocket"
| "kafka"
| "email"
| "nats"
| "postgres"
| "sqs"
| "mqtt"
| "gcp";
body: any;
headers: Record<string, string>;
query: Record<string, string>;
};
export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
return {
param1: event.body.field1,
param2: event.query.id,
};
}
```
## S3 Object Operations
Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations. The `wmill.S3Object` type covers both the `s3://storage/key` URI form (`s3:///key` for the workspace default storage) and the `{ s3, storage? }` record form — always use it instead of redefining your own.
### Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
export async function main(file: wmill.S3Object) {
const content = await wmill.loadS3File(file);
// ...
}
```
### S3 operations
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);
// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);
// Write file to S3
const result: wmill.S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
fileContent, // string or Blob
s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);
```
# TypeScript (Bun Native)
Native TypeScript execution. Native scripts are Bun scripts that run on the native worker — a lightweight V8 isolate that exposes `fetch` and the JavaScript standard library — and can be heavily parallelized. Every script MUST start with `//native` on its first line so Windmill routes it to the native worker; without it the exact same script runs on the regular Bun worker. You may import npm packages and other Windmill scripts (e.g. `./helper.ts`) — imports are resolved and bundled just like a regular Bun script — as long as everything (your code and its dependencies) relies only on `fetch` and the standard library. Libraries that need Node/Bun runtime APIs (filesystem, `node:*` modules, child processes, native addons) will not work on the native worker; use the regular `bun` language for those.
## Structure
Export a single **async** function called `main`:
```typescript
//native
export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
// Your code here
return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}
```
Do not call the main function.
## Resource Types
On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.
Use the `RT` namespace for resource types:
```typescript
//native
export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
// stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}
```
Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.
Before using a resource type, check the `rt.d.ts` file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by `wmill resource-type generate-namespace`.
## Imports
**The constraint is the runtime, not the import list.** You may import npm packages and relative Windmill scripts; they are resolved and bundled exactly like a regular Bun script. But the native worker only provides `fetch` and the JavaScript standard library, so any imported code must work using only those. Anything requiring Node/Bun built-ins (`node:fs`, `child_process`, the `Bun` API, native modules) belongs in a regular `bun` script instead. Use the globally available `fetch` for HTTP:
```typescript
//native
export async function main(url: string) {
const response = await fetch(url);
return await response.json();
}
```
## Windmill Client
`windmill-client` works on the native worker (its calls go over `fetch`), so use it as the **preferred way to talk to Windmill** — reading resources/variables/states, running scripts and flows, and the S3 helpers below (`loadS3File`, `loadS3FileStream`, `writeS3File`, `S3Object`). It handles auth, the workspace, and the base URL for you. Reserve raw `fetch` for calling *external* HTTP APIs that aren't Windmill.
The full `windmill-client` API reference (every exported function and its signature) is included in this skill below — consult it for the exact method instead of hand-rolling a `fetch` against the Windmill API.
## Preprocessor Scripts
For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named `preprocessor` and receives an `event` parameter:
```typescript
//native
type Event = {
kind:
| "webhook"
| "http"
| "websocket"
| "kafka"
| "email"
| "nats"
| "postgres"
| "sqs"
| "mqtt"
| "gcp";
body: any;
headers: Record<string, string>;
query: Record<string, string>;
};
export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
return {
param1: event.body.field1,
param2: event.query.id,
};
}
```
## S3 Object Operations
Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations. The `wmill.S3Object` type covers both the `s3://storage/key` URI form (`s3:///key` for the workspace default storage) and the `{ s3, storage? }` record form — always use it instead of redefining your own.
### Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
```typescript
//native
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
export async function main(file: wmill.S3Object) {
const content = await wmill.loadS3File(file);
// ...
}
```
### S3 operations
```typescript
//native
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);
// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);
// Write file to S3
const result: wmill.S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
fileContent, // string or Blob
s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);
```
# C#
The script must contain a public static `Main` method inside a class:
```csharp
public class Script
{
public static object Main(string name, int count)
{
return new { Name = name, Count = count };
}
}
```
**Important:**
- Class name is irrelevant
- Method must be `public static`
- Return type can be `object` or specific type
## NuGet Packages
Add packages using the `#r` directive at the top:
```csharp
#r "nuget: Newtonsoft.Json, 13.0.3"
#r "nuget: RestSharp, 110.2.0"
using Newtonsoft.Json;
using RestSharp;
public class Script
{
public static object Main(string url)
{
var client = new RestClient(url);
var request = new RestRequest();
var response = client.Get(request);
return JsonConvert.DeserializeObject(response.Content);
}
}
```
# TypeScript (Deno)
Deno runtime with npm support via `npm:` prefix and native Deno libraries.
## Structure
Export a single **async** function called `main`:
```typescript
export async function main(param1: string, param2: number) {
// Your code here
return { result: param1, count: param2 };
}
```
Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.
## Resource Types
On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.
Use the `RT` namespace for resource types:
```typescript
export async function main(stripe: RT.Stripe) {
// stripe contains API key and config from the resource
}
```
Only use resource types if you need them to satisfy the instructions. Always use the RT namespace.
Before using a resource type, check the `rt.d.ts` file in the project root to see all available resource types and their fields. This file is generated by `wmill resource-type generate-namespace`.
## Imports
```typescript
// npm packages use npm: prefix
import Stripe from "npm:stripe";
import { someFunction } from "npm:some-package";
// Deno standard library
import { serve } from "https://deno.land/std/http/server.ts";
```
## Windmill Client
Import the windmill client for platform interactions:
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
```
**Prefer `windmill-client` over raw `fetch` for anything that talks to Windmill** — reading resources/variables/states, running scripts and flows, S3 object operations, etc. It handles auth, the workspace, and the base URL for you. Reserve `fetch` for calling *external* HTTP APIs that aren't Windmill.

```typescript
type Event = {
kind:
| "webhook"
| "http"
| "websocket"
| "kafka"
| "email"
| "nats"
| "postgres"
| "sqs"
| "mqtt"
| "gcp";
body: any;
headers: Record<string, string>;
query: Record<string, string>;
};
export async function preprocessor(event: Event) {
return {
param1: event.body.field1,
param2: event.query.id,
};
}
```
## S3 Object Operations

import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
export async function main(file: wmill.S3Object) {
const content = await wmill.loadS3File(file);
// ...
}
```
### S3 operations
```typescript
import * as wmill from "windmill-client";
// Load file content from S3
const content: Uint8Array = await wmill.loadS3File(s3object);
// Load file as stream
const blob: Blob = await wmill.loadS3FileStream(s3object);
// Write file to S3
const result: wmill.S3Object = await wmill.writeS3File(
s3object, // Target path (or undefined to auto-generate)
fileContent, // string or Blob
s3ResourcePath // Optional: specific S3 resource to use
);
```
# DuckDB
Arguments are defined with comments and used with `$name` syntax:
```sql
-- $name (text) = default
-- $age (integer)
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = $name AND age > $age;
```
## Ducklake Integration
Attach Ducklake for data lake operations:
```sql
-- Main ducklake
ATTACH 'ducklake' AS dl;
-- Named ducklake
ATTACH 'ducklake://my_lake' AS dl;
-- Then query
SELECT * FROM dl.schema.table;
```
## External Database Connections
Connect to external databases using resources:
```sql
ATTACH '$res:path/to/resource' AS db (TYPE postgres);
SELECT * FROM db.schema.table;
```
## S3 File Operations
Read files from S3 storage:
```sql
-- Default storage
SELECT * FROM read_csv('s3:///path/to/file.csv');
-- Named storage
SELECT * FROM read_csv('s3://storage_name/path/to/file.csv');
-- Parquet files
SELECT * FROM read_parquet('s3:///path/to/file.parquet');
-- JSON files
SELECT * FROM read_json('s3:///path/to/file.json');
```
### Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
Declare the arg with type `(s3object)`. Windmill renders an S3 file picker for it
and binds the arg as the bare `s3://storage/key` URI, which DuckDB's reader
functions consume directly:
```sql
-- $file (s3object)
SELECT * FROM read_parquet($file);
```
Works with any DuckDB reader: `read_csv($file)`, `read_json($file)`, etc.
### Writing query results to S3
DuckDB writes to S3 natively via `COPY ... TO`:
```sql
COPY (SELECT * FROM users) TO 's3:///exports/users.parquet' (FORMAT PARQUET);
```
Use this instead of the `-- s3` streaming directive supported by the other SQL
dialects — that directive is not available in DuckDB.
# Go
## Structure
The file package must be `inner` and export a function called `main`:
```go
package inner
func main(param1 string, param2 int) (map[string]interface{}, error) {
return map[string]interface{}{
"result": param1,
"count": param2,
}, nil
}
```
**Important:**
- Package must be `inner`
- Return type must be `({return_type}, error)`
- Function name is `main` (lowercase)
## Return Types
The return type can be any Go type that can be serialized to JSON:
```go
package inner
type Result struct {
Name string `json:"name"`
Count int `json:"count"`
}
func main(name string, count int) (Result, error) {
return Result{
Name: name,
Count: count,
}, nil
}
```
## Error Handling
Return errors as the second return value:
```go
package inner
import "errors"
func main(value int) (string, error) {
if value < 0 {
return "", errors.New("value must be positive")
}
return "success", nil
}
```
# GraphQL
## Structure
Write GraphQL queries or mutations. Arguments can be added as query parameters:
```graphql
query GetUser($id: ID!) {
user(id: $id) {
id
name
email
}
}
```
## Variables
Variables are passed as script arguments and automatically bound to the query:
```graphql
query SearchProducts($query: String!, $limit: Int = 10) {
products(search: $query, first: $limit) {
edges {
node {
id
name
price
}
}
}
}
```
## Mutations
```graphql
mutation CreateUser($input: CreateUserInput!) {
createUser(input: $input) {
id
name
createdAt
}
}
```
# Java
The script must contain a Main public class with a `public static main()` method:
```java
public class Main {
public static Object main(String name, int count) {
java.util.Map<String, Object> result = new java.util.HashMap<>();
result.put("name", name);
result.put("count", count);
return result;
}
}
```
**Important:**
- Class must be named `Main`
- Method must be `public static Object main(...)`
- Return type is `Object` or `void`
## Maven Dependencies
Add dependencies using comments at the top:
```java
//requirements:
//com.google.code.gson:gson:2.10.1
//org.apache.httpcomponents:httpclient:4.5.14
import com.google.gson.Gson;
public class Main {
public static Object main(String input) {
Gson gson = new Gson();
return gson.fromJson(input, Object.class);
}
}
```
# Microsoft SQL Server (MSSQL)
Arguments use `@P1`, `@P2`, etc.
Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:
```sql
-- @P1 name1 (varchar)
-- @P2 name2 (int) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = @P1 AND age > @P2;
```
## Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
Declare the arg with type `(s3object)`. Windmill renders an S3 file picker for
it, downloads the file, and binds it as `nvarchar(max)` JSON text — Parquet/CSV
files are decoded server-side into a JSON array of records, JSON/JSONL pass
through. Consume with `OPENJSON`:
```sql
-- @P1 file (s3object)
SELECT id, name
FROM OPENJSON(@P1)
WITH (id INT, name NVARCHAR(200));
```
## Streaming query results to S3
Add a `-- s3` directive at the top of the script to stream the result set to S3
instead of returning rows. Windmill writes the file and returns its `S3Object`
as the script result.
```sql
-- s3 prefix=exports/users format=parquet
SELECT id, name FROM users;
```
All keys are optional: `prefix` (object key prefix), `storage` (named storage —
omit to use the workspace default), `format` (`json` (default), `parquet`, or
`csv`). Use this for large result sets — rows stream directly to S3 instead of
being buffered as the script return value.
# MySQL
Arguments use `?` placeholders.
Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:
```sql
-- ? name1 (text)
-- ? name2 (int) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ? AND age > ?;
```
## Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
Declare the arg with type `(s3object)`. Windmill renders an S3 file picker for
it, downloads the file, and binds it as JSON text — Parquet/CSV files are
decoded server-side into a JSON array of records, JSON/JSONL pass through.
Consume with `JSON_TABLE`:
```sql
-- ? file (s3object)
SELECT id, name
FROM JSON_TABLE(?, '$[*]'
COLUMNS (id INT PATH '$.id', name VARCHAR(200) PATH '$.name')
) AS r;
```
## Streaming query results to S3
Add a `-- s3` directive at the top of the script to stream the result set to S3
instead of returning rows. Windmill writes the file and returns its `S3Object`
as the script result.
```sql
-- s3 prefix=exports/users format=parquet
SELECT id, name FROM users;
```
All keys are optional: `prefix` (object key prefix), `storage` (named storage —
omit to use the workspace default), `format` (`json` (default), `parquet`, or
`csv`). Use this for large result sets — rows stream directly to S3 instead of
being buffered as the script return value.
# PHP
## Structure
The script must start with `<?php` and contain at least one function called `main`:
```php
<?php
function main(string $param1, int $param2) {
return ["result" => $param1, "count" => $param2];
}
```
## Resource Types
On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.
You need to **redefine** the type of the resources that are needed before the main function. Always check if the class already exists using `class_exists`:
```php
<?php
if (!class_exists('Postgresql')) {
class Postgresql {
public string $host;
public int $port;
public string $user;
public string $password;
public string $dbname;
}
}
function main(Postgresql $db) {
// $db contains the database connection details
}
```
The resource type name has to be exactly as specified.
## Library Dependencies
Specify library dependencies as comments before the main function:
```php
<?php
// require:
// guzzlehttp/guzzle
// stripe/stripe-php@^10.0
function main() {
// Libraries are available
}
```
One dependency per line. No need to require autoload, it is already done.
# PostgreSQL
Arguments are obtained directly in the statement with `$1::{type}`, `$2::{type}`, etc.
Name the parameters by adding comments at the beginning of the script (without specifying the type):
```sql
-- $1 name1
-- $2 name2 = default_value
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = $1::TEXT AND age > $2::INT;
```
## Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
Declare the arg with type `(s3object)`. Windmill renders an S3 file picker for
it, downloads the file, and binds it as a `jsonb` parameter — Parquet/CSV files
are decoded server-side into a JSON array of records, JSON/JSONL pass through.
Consume with `jsonb_to_recordset` (or any `jsonb` API):
```sql
-- $1 file (s3object)
SELECT *
FROM jsonb_to_recordset($1::jsonb) AS r(id INT, name TEXT);
```
## Streaming query results to S3
Add a `-- s3` directive at the top of the script to stream the result set to S3
instead of returning rows. Windmill writes the file and returns its `S3Object`
as the script result.
```sql
-- s3 prefix=exports/users format=parquet
SELECT id, name FROM users;
```
All keys are optional: `prefix` (object key prefix), `storage` (named storage —
omit to use the workspace default), `format` (`json` (default), `parquet`, or
`csv`). Use this for large result sets — rows stream directly to S3 instead of
being buffered as the script return value.

Arguments are obtained by calling the `param` function on the first line:
```powershell
param($Name, $Count = 0, [int]$Age)
# Your code here
Write-Output "Processing $Name, count: $Count, age: $Age"
# Return object
@{
name = $Name
count = $Count
age = $Age
}
```
## Parameter Types
You can specify types for parameters:
```powershell
param(
[string]$Name,
[int]$Count = 0,
[bool]$Enabled = $true,
[array]$Items
)
@{
name = $Name
count = $Count
enabled = $Enabled
items = $Items
}
```
## Return Values
Return values by outputting them at the end of the script:
```powershell
param($Input)
$result = @{
processed = $true
data = $Input
timestamp = Get-Date -Format "o"
}
$result
```
# Python
## Structure
The script must contain at least one function called `main`:
```python
def main(param1: str, param2: int):
# Your code here
return {"result": param1, "count": param2}
```
Do not call the main function. Libraries are installed automatically.
## Resource Types
On Windmill, credentials and configuration are stored in resources and passed as parameters to main.
You need to **redefine** the type of the resources that are needed before the main function as TypedDict:
```python
from typing import TypedDict
class postgresql(TypedDict):
host: str
port: int
user: str
password: str
dbname: str
def main(db: postgresql):
# db contains the database connection details
pass
```
**Important rules:**
- The resource type name must be **IN LOWERCASE**
- Only include resource types if they are actually needed
- If an import conflicts with a resource type name, **rename the imported object, not the type name**
- Make sure to import TypedDict from typing **if you're using it**
## Imports
Libraries are installed automatically. Do not show installation instructions.
```python
import requests
import pandas as pd
from datetime import datetime
```
If an import name conflicts with a resource type:
```python
# Wrong - don't rename the type
import stripe as stripe_lib
class stripe_type(TypedDict): ...
# Correct - rename the import
import stripe as stripe_sdk
class stripe(TypedDict):
api_key: str
```
## Windmill Client
Import the windmill client for platform interactions:
```python
import wmill
```
See the SDK documentation for available methods.
## Preprocessor Scripts
For preprocessor scripts, the function should be named `preprocessor` and receives an `event` parameter:
```python
from typing import TypedDict, Literal, Any
class Event(TypedDict):
kind: Literal["webhook", "http", "websocket", "kafka", "email", "nats", "postgres", "sqs", "mqtt", "gcp"]
body: Any
headers: dict[str, str]
query: dict[str, str]
def preprocessor(event: Event):
# Transform the event into flow input parameters
return {
"param1": event["body"]["field1"],
"param2": event["query"]["id"]
}
```
## S3 Object Operations
Windmill provides built-in support for S3-compatible storage operations.
### Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
To accept a file from S3 as input to a script, type the parameter with `S3Object` (imported from `wmill`):
```python
import wmill
from wmill import S3Object
def main(file: S3Object):
content = wmill.load_s3_file(file)
# ...
```
### S3 operations
```python
import wmill
# Load file content from S3
content: bytes = wmill.load_s3_file(s3object)
# Load file as stream reader
reader: BufferedReader = wmill.load_s3_file_reader(s3object)
# Write file to S3
result: S3Object = wmill.write_s3_file(
s3object, # Target path (or None to auto-generate)
file_content, # bytes or BufferedReader
s3_resource_path, # Optional: specific S3 resource
content_type, # Optional: MIME type
content_disposition # Optional: Content-Disposition header
)
```
# R
## Structure
Define a `main` function using `<-` or `=` assignment. Parameters become the script inputs:
```r
library(dplyr)
library(jsonlite)
main <- function(x, name = "default", flag = TRUE) {
df <- tibble(x = x, name = name)
result <- df %>% mutate(greeting = paste("Hello", name))
return(toJSON(result, auto_unbox = TRUE))
}
```
**Important:**
- The `main` function is required
- Use `library()` to load packages — they are resolved and installed automatically
- `jsonlite` is always available (used internally for argument parsing)
- Return values must be JSON-serializable
## Parameters
R types map to Windmill types:
- `numeric` → float/int
- `character` → string
- `logical` → bool (use `TRUE`/`FALSE`)
- `list` → object/dict
- `NULL` → null
Default values are inferred from the function signature:
```r
main <- function(
name, # required string
count = 10, # optional int, default 10
verbose = FALSE # optional bool, default FALSE
) {
# ...
}
```
## Resources and Variables
Use the built-in Windmill helpers (no import needed):
```r
main <- function() {
# Get a variable
api_key <- get_variable("f/my_folder/api_key")
# Get a resource (returns a list)
db <- get_resource("f/my_folder/postgres_config")
host <- db$host
port <- db$port
return(list(host = host, port = port))
}
```
## Output
Return any JSON-serializable value from `main`. The return value becomes the step result:
```r
main <- function(x) {
# Return a scalar
return(x + 1)
# Or a list (becomes JSON object)
return(list(result = x + 1, status = "ok"))
}
```
## Annotations
Control execution behavior with comment annotations:
```r
#renv_verbose = true # Show verbose renv output during resolution
#renv_install_verbose = true # Show verbose output during package installation
#sandbox = true # Run in nsjail sandbox (requires nsjail)
```
# Rust
## Structure
The script must contain a function called `main` with proper return type:
```rust
use anyhow::anyhow;
use serde::Serialize;
#[derive(Serialize, Debug)]
struct ReturnType {
result: String,
count: i32,
}
fn main(param1: String, param2: i32) -> anyhow::Result<ReturnType> {
Ok(ReturnType {
result: param1,
count: param2,
})
}
```
**Important:**
- Arguments should be owned types
- Return type must be serializable (`#[derive(Serialize)]`)
- Return type is `anyhow::Result<T>`
## Dependencies
Packages must be specified with a partial cargo.toml at the beginning of the script:
```rust
//! ```cargo
//! [dependencies]
//! anyhow = "1.0.86"
//! reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json"] }
//! tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
//! ```
use anyhow::anyhow;
// ... rest of the code
```
**Note:** Serde is already included, no need to add it again.
## Async Functions
If you need to handle async functions (e.g., using tokio), keep the main function sync and create the runtime inside:
```rust
//! ```cargo
//! [dependencies]
//! anyhow = "1.0.86"
//! tokio = { version = "1", features = ["full"] }
//! reqwest = { version = "0.11", features = ["json"] }
//! ```
use anyhow::anyhow;
use serde::Serialize;
#[derive(Serialize, Debug)]
struct Response {
data: String,
}
fn main(url: String) -> anyhow::Result<Response> {
let rt = tokio::runtime::Runtime::new()?;
rt.block_on(async {
let resp = reqwest::get(&url).await?.text().await?;
Ok(Response { data: resp })
})
}
```
# Snowflake
Arguments use `?` placeholders.
Name the parameters by adding comments before the statement:
```sql
-- ? name1 (text)
-- ? name2 (number) = 0
SELECT * FROM users WHERE name = ? AND age > ?;
```
## Receiving an S3Object as a script parameter
Declare the arg with type `(s3object)`. Windmill renders an S3 file picker for
it, downloads the file, and binds it as JSON text — Parquet/CSV files are
decoded server-side into a JSON array of records, JSON/JSONL pass through.
Wrap the bind with `PARSE_JSON(?)` and walk it with `LATERAL FLATTEN`:
```sql
-- ? file (s3object)
SELECT
v.value:id::NUMBER AS id,
v.value:name::STRING AS name
FROM LATERAL FLATTEN(input => PARSE_JSON(?)) v;
```
## Streaming query results to S3
Add a `-- s3` directive at the top of the script to stream the result set to S3
instead of returning rows. Windmill writes the file and returns its `S3Object`
as the script result.
```sql
-- s3 prefix=exports/users format=parquet
SELECT id, name FROM users;
```
All keys are optional: `prefix` (object key prefix), `storage` (named storage —
omit to use the workspace default), `format` (`json` (default), `parquet`, or
`csv`). Use this for large result sets — rows stream directly to S3 instead of
being buffered, bypassing the 10000-row return cap.

# Decorator marking an async function as a workflow-as-code entry point.

# The function must be **deterministic**: given the same inputs it must call
# tasks in the same order on every replay. Branching on task results is fine
# (results are replayed from checkpoint), but branching on external state
# (current time, random values, external API calls) must use ``step()`` to
# checkpoint the value so replays see the same result.
def workflow(func)
# Execute ``fn`` inline and checkpoint the result.
#
# On replay the cached value is returned without re-executing ``fn``.
# Use for lightweight deterministic operations (timestamps, random IDs,
# config reads) that should not incur the overhead of a child job.

# Server-side sleep — suspend the workflow for the given duration without holding a worker.
#
# Inside a @workflow, the parent job suspends and auto-resumes after ``seconds``.
# Outside a workflow, falls back to ``asyncio.sleep``.
async def sleep(seconds: int)

# Use ``get_resume_urls()`` (wrapped in ``step()``) to obtain
# resume/cancel/approval URLs before calling this function.

# Returns a dict with ``value`` (form data), ``approver``, and ``approved``.
#
# Args:
# timeout: Approval timeout in seconds (default 1800).
# form: Optional form schema for the approval page.
# self_approval: Whether the user who triggered the flow can approve it (default True).
#
# Example::
#
# urls = await step("urls", lambda: get_resume_urls())
# await step("notify", lambda: send_email(urls["approvalPage"]))
# result = await wait_for_approval(timeout=3600)

#
# @task
# async def process(item: str):
# ...

# results = await parallel(items, process, concurrency=5)
