# Interface WorkAction<T extends WorkParameters>

Type Parameters:
  `T` - Parameter type for the work action. Should be `WorkParameters.None` if the action does not have parameters.

All Known Implementing Classes:
  `PrefixHeaderFileGenerateTask.GeneratePrefixHeaderFile`

public interface WorkAction<T extends WorkParameters>
Represents the implementation of a unit of work to be used when submitting work to the `WorkerExecutor`.

A work action implementation is an abstract class implementing the `execute()` method. A minimal implementation may look like this:

    import org.gradle.workers.WorkParameters;

    public abstract class MyWorkAction implements WorkAction<WorkParameters.None> {
        private final String greeting;

        @Inject
        public MyWorkAction() {
            this.greeting = "hello";
        }

        @Override
        public void execute() {
            System.out.println(greeting);
        }
    }

Implementations of WorkAction are subject to the following constraints:

- Do not implement `getParameters()` in your class, the method will be implemented by Gradle.
- Constructors must be annotated with `Inject`.
