Get Started with Hatchet
This guide will help you get started with Hatchet, at the end of the guide you will have a Hatchet project with a basic workflow and a worker to execute the workflow.
Clone a Quickstart Project
git clone https://github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet-python-quickstart.git
CD into the project
cd hatchet-python-quickstart
Install dependencies
poetry install
Create a new project directory and cd into it
mkdir hatchet-tutorial && cd hatchet-tutorial
Initialize a new python project with required dependencies
Create a virtual environment
poetry shell
Initialize the project and install the Hatchet SDK
poetry init --dependency hatchet-sdk
Create a virtual environment
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate # On Unix/macOS
Install the Hatchet SDK
pip install hatchet-sdk
(optional) save the dependencies to a requirements.txt file
pip freeze > requirements.txt
Create project directories
mkdir src &&
mkdir src/workflows &&
mkdir src/workers
Instantiate your Hatchet Client
It is recommended to instantiate a shared Hatchet Client in a separate file as a singleton.
Create a new file called hatchet_client.py
touch src/hatchet_client.py
Add the following code to the file:
from hatchet_sdk import Hatchet
hatchet = Hatchet()
You can now import the Hatchet Client in any file that needs it.
from src.hatchet_client import hatchet
Create a new project directory and cd into it
mkdir hatchet-tutorial && cd hatchet-tutorial
Initialize a new typescript project with required dependencies
npm init -y && npm i @hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk && npm i ts-node dotenv typescript --save-dev && npx tsc --init
pnpm init && pnpm i @hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk && pnpm i ts-node dotenv typescript --save-dev && npx tsc --init
yarn init && yarn add @hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk && yarn add ts-node dotenv typescript --dev && npx tsc --init
Create project directories
mkdir src &&
mkdir src/workflows &&
mkdir src/workers
Instantiate your Hatchet Client
It is recommended to instantiate a shared Hatchet Client in a separate file as a singleton.
Create a new file called hatchet-client.ts
touch src/hatchet-client.ts
Add the following code to the file:
import { Hatchet } from "@hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk";
export const hatchet = Hatchet.init();
You can now import the Hatchet Client in any file that needs it.
import { hatchet } from "./hatchet-client";
Create a new project directory and cd into it
mkdir hatchet-tutorial && cd hatchet-tutorial
Initialize a new go project with required dependencies
go mod init hatchet-tutorial
Create project directories
mkdir workflows &&
mkdir workers
Instantiate your Hatchet Client
It is recommended to instantiate a shared Hatchet Client Factory in a separate file.
Create a new directory called hatchet_client
and a new file called main.go
in it.
mkdir hatchet_client &&
touch hatchet_client/main.go
Add the following code to the file:
package hatchet
import (
"github.com/hatchet-dev/hatchet/pkg/client"
)
func Client() (client.Client, error) {
return client.New()
}
Install the Hatchet SDK and required dependencies
go mod tidy
Import the Hatchet Client Factory
You can now import the Hatchet Client Factory in any file that needs it.
package main
import (
"log"
hatchet "hatchet-tutorial/hatchet_client"
)
func main() {
hatchet, err := hatchet.Client()
if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
Cd into your project directory
cd path-to-your-project
Install the Hatchet SDK and required dependencies
bash copy pip install hatchet-sdk
bash copy poetry add hatchet-sdk
Create project directories
By convention it is recommended to create your workflows in the workflows
directory and your workers in the workers
directory.
mkdir workflows &&
mkdir workers
Instantiate your Hatchet Client
It is recommended to instantiate a shared Hatchet Client in a separate file as a singleton.
Create a new file called hatchet-client.py
in your project root.
touch hatchet-client.py
Add the following code to the file:
from hatchet_sdk import Hatchet
hatchet = Hatchet()
You can now import the Hatchet Client in any file that needs it.
from src.hatchet_client import hatchet
Cd into your project directory
cd path-to-your-project
Install the Hatchet SDK and required dependencies
npm i @hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk && npm i ts-node dotenv typescript --save-dev
pnpm i @hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk && pnpm i ts-node dotenv typescript --save-dev
yarn add @hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk && yarn add ts-node dotenv typescript --dev
Create project directories
By convention it is recommended to create your workflows in the workflows
directory and your workers in the workers
directory.
mkdir workflows &&
mkdir workers
Instantiate your Hatchet Client
It is recommended to instantiate a shared Hatchet Client in a separate file as a singleton.
Create a new file called hatchet-client.ts

touch hatchet-client.ts
Add the following code to the file:
import { Hatchet } from "@hatchet-dev/typescript-sdk";
export const hatchet = Hatchet.init();
You can now import the Hatchet Client in any file that needs it.
import { hatchet } from "./hatchet-client";

return client.New()
}

hatchet "hatchet-tutorial/src/hatchet_client"
)

if err != nil {
log.Fatal(err)
}
}
Clone a Quickstart Project
export HATCHET_CLIENT_TOKEN="<your-client-token>"
CD into the project
