Create Command

Now it's time to start building. The first thing we'll do is create a Command for submitting jobs.

Create packages/service/src/submit-job.ts.

Import command from the @eventual/core library.

import { command } from "@eventual/core";

Then, export and create a command for submitting a task.

export const submitJob = command("submitJob", async (description: string) => {
  // for now, just return the input back
  return description;
});

Go back to packages/service/src/index.ts and export the file we just created.

export * from "./submit-job.js";

tip

For more information on why we re-export everything from the index.ts, see the End-to-End Types and Schemas documentation.

Finally, restart the local server. This needs to be done between changes.
