Assistant Return Values
=======================

Using similar steps to :doc:`tutorial_assistant`, assistants can also be configured to return values back from the assistant.

.. TODO: Link Support doc showing how to configure assistant outputs.

Once the assistant is configured with outputs, you can call it and receive return values as expected.
Each assistant output must be explicitly referenced, in order, on the left-hand side of the assignment operator

.. code-block:: python

    from artificial.workflows.decorators import workflow
    from artificial.workflows.runtime import show_info
    from stubs.stubs_assistants import ReturnValAssistant

    @workflow('Assistant Return', 'wf_asst_return', 'lab_c9eae09e-ceed-46d1-8390-87ff7dd8586d')
    async def asst_return() -> None:

        lot_number, barcode = await ReturnValAssistant.get_lot_number()

        await show_info(f'Lot: {lot_number}, Barcode: {barcode})
