Prefect Community

Hi, I’d like to understand what the equivalents to the methods for parameterizing flows described in this article <https://www.prefect.io/guide/blog/how-to-make-your-data-pipelines-more-dynamic-using-parameters-in-prefect/> are (or will be) in prefect 2.0

I have done a bit of googling and searching through the threads in this slack space and not found a solid answer (but if you know of one please direct me)

thanks a bunch!!

For the passing of parameters, it’s just the <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/tutorials/first-steps/#run-flows-with-parameters|input into the flow> function. So you can just call it like a normal function as pass in the parameter value.

And then for “registration”, you’d give the parameter to the <https://orion-docs.prefect.io/concepts/deployments/#deployment-specifications|deployment spec>

what about the situation in which someone wants to override them at run time on the UI, or with a CLI command

UI not supported yet. CLI there is `prefect deployment run` but it doesn’t take params just yet

ah ok, is there a timeline for that stuff?

The UI one is definitely needed to move off beta to general availability, and that is estimated for like 1-2 months. but no timeline for that specific ticket
