How-to Guides

These guides are recipes for getting a specific job done. They assume you already know the basics from the Tutorials and get straight to the task. If you want to understand why rather than how, see the Explanation pages; for exact signatures and catalogs, see the Reference.

Setup

• Install ccflow — pip, conda, or from source.

Configuration

• Configure Complex Values — custom validation and coercion, Jinja/SQL templates, Polars expressions, NumPy arrays, arbitrary types, and object-by-path references.
• Bind Logic to Configs — attach business logic to configuration classes, including custom publishers and data pipelines.

Running workflows

• Run Workflows from the CLI — run configured callables, apply overrides, and inspect the composed configuration.
• Cache Results — avoid redundant work with in-memory caching and graph evaluation, and write your own evaluator.
• Retry on Failure — make flaky steps resilient with retry evaluators and RetryModel.
