30
+
31
+ // Create a simple workflow
32
+ const workflow = new Workflow({

196
+ </script>
197
+ ```
198
+
199
+ ## Core Concepts
200
+
201
+ ### Workflows
202
+
203
+ Workflows are primary structures that execute a series of steps in sequence. They provide:
204
+
205
+ - Sequential step execution
206
+ - Error handling with `exit_on_error` option
207
+ - Pause and resume capabilities
208
+ - Event emission for monitoring
209
+ - Result collection
210
+
211
+ ```javascript
212
+ import { Workflow } from 'micro-flow';
213
+
214
+ const workflow = new Workflow({
215
+ name: 'my-workflow',
216
+ exit_on_error: true, // Stop on first error
217
+ steps: [/* array of steps */]
218
+ });
219
+ ```
220
+
221
+ ### Steps
222
+
223
+ Steps are individual units of work that execute functions, other steps, or even entire workflows:
224
+
225
+ ```javascript
226
+ import { Step } from 'micro-flow';
227
+
228
+ const step = new Step({
229
+ name: 'my-step',
230
+ callable: async () => {
231
+ // Your async code here
232
+ return result;
233
+ }
234
+ });
235
+ ```
236
+
237
+ ### Conditional Steps
238
+
239
+ Execute different code paths based on conditions:
240
+
241
+ ```javascript
242
+ import { ConditionalStep } from 'micro-flow';
243
+
244
+ const conditionalStep = new ConditionalStep({
245
+ name: 'environment-check',
246
+ conditional: {
247
+ subject: process.env.NODE_ENV,
248
+ operator: '===',
249
+ value: 'production'
250
+ },
251
+ true_callable: async () => {
252
+ return loadProductionConfig();
253
+ },
254
+ false_callable: async () => {
255
+ return loadDevelopmentConfig();
256
+ }
257
+ });
258
+ ```
259
+
260
+ ### Loop Steps
261
+
262
+ Iterate over collections or repeat while conditions are met:
263
+
264
+ ```javascript
265
+ import { LoopStep, loop_types } from 'micro-flow';
266
+
267
+ // For-each loop
268
+ const forEachLoop = new LoopStep({
269
+ name: 'process-items',
270
+ loop_type: loop_types.FOR_EACH,
271
+ items: [1, 2, 3, 4, 5],
272
+ callable: async (item) => {
273
+ console.log('Processing:', item);
274
+ }
275
+ });
276
+
277
+ // While loop
278
+ const whileLoop = new LoopStep({
279
+ name: 'retry-until-success',
280
+ loop_type: loop_types.WHILE,
281
+ condition: () => retryCount < maxRetries,
282
+ callable: async () => {
283
+ await attemptOperation();
284
+ }
285
+ });
286
+ ```
287
+
288
+ ### Delay Steps
289
+
290
+ Delay workflow execution with various timing strategies:
291
+
292
+ ```javascript
293
+ import { DelayStep, delay_types } from 'micro-flow';
294
+
295
+ // Relative delay (milliseconds)
296
+ const relativeDelay = new DelayStep({
297
+ name: 'wait-5-seconds',
298
+ delay_type: delay_types.RELATIVE,
299
+ delay_duration: 5000
300
+ });
301
+
302
+ // Absolute delay (specific time)
303
+ const absoluteDelay = new DelayStep({
304
+ name: 'wait-until-midnight',
305
+ delay_type: delay_types.ABSOLUTE,
306
+ delay_timestamp: new Date('2025-12-31T23:59:59')
307
+ });
308
+
309
+ // Cron-based delay (scheduled)
310
+ const cronDelay = new DelayStep({
311
+ name: 'daily-task',
312
+ delay_type: delay_types.CRON,
313
+ cron_expression: '0 9 * * *' // Every day at 9 AM
314
+ });
315
+ ```
316
+
317
+ ### Flow Control
318
+
319
+ Control workflow execution with break and skip logic:
320
+
321
+ ```javascript
322
+ import { FlowControlStep, flow_control_types } from 'micro-flow';
323
+
324
+ const breakStep = new FlowControlStep({
325
+ name: 'error-check',
326
+ conditional: {
327
+ subject: errorCount,
328
+ operator: '>',
329
+ value: 0
330
+ },
331
+ flow_control_type: flow_control_types.BREAK
332
+ });
333
+ ```
334
+
335
+ ### State Management
336
+
337
+ Access global state across all workflows and steps:
338
+
339
+ ```javascript
340
+ import { State } from 'micro-flow';
341
+
342
+ // Set values
343
+ State.set('user.name', 'John Doe');
344
+ State.set('config.timeout', 5000);
345
+
346
+ // Get values
347
+ const userName = State.get('user.name');
348
+ const timeout = State.get('config.timeout', 3000); // with default
349
+
350
+ // Delete values
351
+ State.delete('user.name');
352
+ ```
353
+
354
+ ### Events
355
+
356
+ Listen to workflow and step lifecycle events. You can do this using Node's EventEmitter syntax or the browser's CustomEvent syntax:
357
+
358
+ ```javascript
359
+ import { State } from 'micro-flow';
360
+
361
+ const workflowEvents = State.get('events.workflow');
362
+
363
+ workflowEvents.on('workflow_complete', (data) => {
364
+ console.log(`Workflow ${data.name} completed in ${data.timing.execution_time_ms}ms`);
365
+ });
366
+
367
+ const stepEvents = State.get('events.step');
368
+
369
+ stepEvents.on('step_failed', (data) => {
370
+ console.error(`Step ${data.name} failed:`, data.errors);
371
+ });
372
+ ```
373
+
374
+ ### Cross-Tab/Worker Communication
375
+
376
+ Broadcast messages between browser tabs and windows:
377
+
378
+ ```javascript
379
+ import { Broadcast } from './micro-flow.js';
380
+
381
+ const broadcast = new Broadcast('my-channel');
382
+
383
+ // Send messages to other tabs
384
+ broadcast.send({ type: 'update', data: { userId: 123 } });
385
+
386
+ // Receive messages from other tabs
387
+ broadcast.onReceive((data) => {
388
+ console.log('Message from another tab:', data);
389
+ if (data.type === 'update') {
390
+ updateUI(data.data);
391
+ }
392
+ });
393
+
394
+ // Clean up when done
395
+ broadcast.destroy();
396
+ ```
397
+
398
+ ## Use Cases
