# Choice Sample
2+
3+
This sample demonstrates **conditional workflow logic** - executing different activities based on runtime decisions.
4+
5+
> **Looking for a visual guide?** See [new_samples/hello_world](../../../../new_samples/hello_world/) for a step-by-step tutorial with screenshots.
6+
7+
## Two Patterns
8+
9+
### 1. Exclusive Choice (`-c single`)
10+
Execute ONE activity based on a decision:
11+
12+
```
13+
┌───────────────┐
14+
│ getOrder() │
15+
│ returns "apple"│
16+
└───────┬───────┘
17+
18+
┌────┴────┬────────┬────────┐
19+
▼ ▼ ▼ ▼
20+
┌──────┐ ┌──────┐ ┌──────┐ ┌──────┐
21+
│apple │ │banana│ │cherry│ │orange│
22+
│ ✓ │ │ │ │ │ │ │
23+
└──────┘ └──────┘ └──────┘ └──────┘
24+
```
25+
26+
### 2. Multi Choice (`-c multi`)
27+
Execute MULTIPLE activities in parallel based on a basket:
28+
29+
```
30+
┌───────────────────┐
31+
│ getBasketOrder() │
32+
│ returns ["apple", │
33+
│ "cherry","orange"]│
34+
└─────────┬─────────┘
35+
┌─────┼─────┐
36+
▼ ▼ ▼
37+
┌──────┐┌──────┐┌──────┐
38+
│apple ││cherry││orange│ (parallel)
39+
│ ✓ ││ ✓ ││ ✓ │
40+
└──────┘└──────┘└──────┘
41+
```
42+
43+
## Prerequisites
44+
45+
1. Cadence server running (see [main README](../../../../README.md))
46+
2. Build the samples: `make`
47+
48+
## Running the Sample
49+
50+
```bash
51+
# Terminal 1: Start worker
52+
./bin/choice -m worker
53+
54+
# Terminal 2: Trigger workflows
55+
./bin/choice -m trigger -c single # Exclusive choice (default)
56+
./bin/choice -m trigger -c multi # Multi choice
57+
```
58+
59+
## Key Code
60+
61+
### Exclusive Choice
62+
```go
63+
var orderChoice string
64+
workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, getOrderActivity).Get(ctx, &orderChoice)
65+
66+
switch orderChoice {
67+
case "apple":
68+
workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, orderAppleActivity, orderChoice)
69+
case "banana":
70+
workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, orderBananaActivity, orderChoice)
71+
// ...
72+
}
73+
```
74+
75+
### Multi Choice
76+
```go
77+
var choices []string
78+
workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, getBasketOrderActivity).Get(ctx, &choices)
79+
80+
var futures []workflow.Future
81+
for _, item := range choices {
82+
switch item {
83+
case "apple":
84+
f = workflow.ExecuteActivity(ctx, orderAppleActivity, item)
85+
// ...
86+
}
87+
futures = append(futures, f)
88+
}
89+
90+
// Wait for all
91+
for _, future := range futures {
92+
future.Get(ctx, nil)
93+
}
94+
```
95+
96+
## Testing
97+
98+
```bash
99+
go test -v ./cmd/samples/recipes/choice/
100+
```
