@dagucloud/dagu

A powerful Workflow Orchestration Engine with simple declarative YAML API

Installation

npm install -g --ignore-scripts=false @dagucloud/dagu

--ignore-scripts=false ensures npm runs the postinstall script that downloads the Dagu binary.

Or add to your project:

npm install --ignore-scripts=false @dagucloud/dagu

Usage

Command Line

After installation, the dagu command will be available:

# Start the web UI and scheduler
dagu start-all

# Run a workflow
dagu start my-workflow.yaml

# Check workflow status
dagu status my-workflow.yaml

Programmatic Usage

const { execute, getDaguPath } = require('@dagucloud/dagu');

// Get path to the binary
const daguPath = getDaguPath();

// Execute dagu commands
const child = execute(['start', 'workflow.yaml']);

// Or use async/await
const { executeAsync } = require('@dagucloud/dagu');

async function runWorkflow() {
  const result = await executeAsync(['start', 'workflow.yaml']);
  console.log('Exit code:', result.code);
  console.log('Output:', result.stdout);
}
