03/18/2021, 7:53 PMhello, prefect team. I see there are the two methods available for flow registration. Are both equally recommended?
1. prefect cli [1]
2. functional API
flow.registerFlow(result=S3Result(location=f'bucket/{<http://args.my|args.my>_result_key}', ...)__main__flow.registerj

03/18/2021, 7:58 PMawesome thank you @Jim Crist-Harif
would you happen to have a reference example that does dynamically defined flows? (e.g. varying the result flow based on user-passed arg).

03/18/2021, 8:03 PMsorry for the confusion.
I look for a reference example in the prefect repo that “creates” (not executes) a Flow based on user-passed arguments and registers it. It’s okay if there’s none. :-)
I just wanted to compare the example to the pattern I have in mind…

03/18/2021, 9:07 PMWe don't have an example for that, but since flows are built programmatically in python, you should be able to write whatever logic you want.
Copy code
with Flow("example") as flow:
if some_build_time_user_config_flag:
x = some_task_a()
else:
x = some_task_b()r

03/29/2021, 3:12 AMHi @dh sorry for jumping in. Did you find way to dynamically create flow? (user-passed arguments)
I am still confused how to make it work within the flow storage and flow register
