Add finally callback to customFunction #516

devin-ai-integration · 2025-03-27T01:47:58Z

Add the ability for customFunction to have a 'finally' function that will be called with the result/error of calling the handler. Implemented for customQuery, customMutation, and customAction with a try-finally clause.

This PR adds:

A new finally property to the Mod type that takes a callback function with { ctx, result, error } parameters
Implementation of try-finally blocks in both argument and no-argument cases
Tests to verify the finally callback is called with the correct parameters
Default no-op implementation in the NoOp constant

This test is useless. It doesn't test the library at all. Replace it with one that defines a function and does testApi etc. to try calling it - and finding a clever way to spy on the handler. Maybe calling the resulting handler directly via (myfn as any)._handler(ctx, args)?

move the tests out of their own file into here and delete this useless test

maybe just call mod.finally(finalCtx, { error }) here instead of collecting, so it's more obvious, and so error isn't a key unless there was an error

Thanks for the feedback, Ian! I've updated the implementation as requested:

Modified the finally callback to use the signature instead of a single params object
Updated the implementation to call directly after success and in the catch block
Removed the default implementation from NoOp
Moved the tests from the separate file into customFunctions.test.ts and updated them to use directly

All changes have been implemented and pushed. Let me know if you'd like any further adjustments!

This would be super useful - any idea on when this could be resolved?

ianmacartney · 2025-04-28T20:22:25Z

I was thinking about it, and I think this is the wrong API, but it feels close!
Instead of having finally be at the top-level alongside input, it should be returned alongside ctx and args to enable use-cases like this:

const withFinally = customQuery(query, {
  args: {},
  input: async (ctx, args) => {
    const { db, flush } = wrapDbWithBatchedTriggers(ctx);
    return { 
      ctx: { db }, 
      args: {} ,
      finally: async () => {
        await flush();
      }
    };
  }
});

ianmacartney · 2025-04-28T20:22:44Z

@ghandic what's your use-case you're excited about?

Co-Authored-By: Ian Macartney <[email protected]>

devin-ai-integration · 2025-04-28T20:36:40Z

I've redesigned the finally callback API as requested. The finally callback is now returned from the input function alongside ctx and args, rather than being a top-level property. This allows the finally callback to access resources created during input processing, as shown in your example with wrapDbWithBatchedTriggers.

The implementation:

Modified the Mod type to include finally in the return value of the input function
Updated customFnBuilder to extract finally from the input function's return value
Simplified the finally callback to just accept { result } or { error } parameters
Updated tests to verify the new API works correctly

All tests are now passing with the new API design. Let me know if you'd like any further adjustments.

My use case at the time was trying to get a custom function for tracing with otel so I could do a finally to close the span. Then in the use of the custom function I would add attributes to the span.

However, I got stuck into it without the nice API and realised it would only work for actions since it would need to be in a node runtime.
