Build-time-safe access to the World's queue handlers without binding to runtime environment variables.
Returns a restricted view of the World exposing only the members that are safe to use at build time: createQueueHandler and specVersion. Framework adapters use it while generating workflow route handlers, before the deployment's runtime environment variables exist.
Unlike getWorld(), this function does not cache a fully configured World instance — caching at build time would lock in incomplete environment configuration.
import { getWorldHandlers } from "workflow/runtime";
const handlers = await getWorldHandlers();
console.log(handlers.specVersion);Parameters
This function does not accept any parameters.
Returns
Returns a WorldHandlers object (synchronously in workflow 4.x; async in 5.x), where:
import type { World } from "@workflow/world";
type WorldHandlers = Pick<World, "createQueueHandler" | "specVersion">;This is SDK infrastructure used by framework adapters and the workflow entrypoint. Application code should use getWorld() instead.
getWorld()- Resolve the full World instance at runtime.workflowEntrypoint()- The route handler factory built on these handlers.
