How to access/transform task returned data before sending it to another task i.e. Thanks in advance!

with prefect.Flow('myflow') as flow:
    task_1 = my_task_1()
    task_2 = my_task_2(task_1['value'])

Hey @Ahmed Ezzat - this will just work. We'll automatically generate a task to access the

"value"

key for you here.

Hi @Zanie Is there any workaround for applying transformations? i.e. not using a flow block or some other way?

Is there a reason you don't want to use tasks?

@Zanie It's just will result in a messy code. I'm ok with creating extra tasks however I want to access return values cleanly. My current Idea is to return a class then access its field. Is this implemented natively or I'll need to hack my way?

I don’t think you can do this. The reason

task['value']

works is because Prefect uses a

GetItem

task under the hood when you call that. You will need to use a task for deferred execution. Accessing the class field will try to run during the build time, so no native way to immediate do it
