all_results
property
¶
Get all results, executing the query if necessary, blocks until done. Returns results as Item objects for easier attribute access.
has_results
property
¶
If you want to check whether a workflow has results already, but do NOT want to trigger execution yet.
has_run
property
¶
If this workflow has been executed before (even if there were no results)
__bool__()
¶
Return True if the workflow has any results, False otherwise. Accessing the results property will execute the workflow if necessary.

__contains__(item)
¶
Check if an item exists in the results. Accessing the results property will execute the workflow if necessary.

__getitem__(key)
¶
Allow indexing into the workflow results. Accessing the results property will execute the workflow if necessary. NOTE: Workflows will NEVER execute partially. Accessing any item of the results will always trigger a complete execution.
