# Class InlineSchemesStep

OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Builder.InlineSchemesStep

Represents a build step that inlines referenced [ProcessDefinition](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ProcessDefinition/) instances by replacing [IInlineActivity](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/IInlineActivity/) points with their referenced definitions.

Namespace: [OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Builder](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Builder/)

```csharp
public class InlineSchemesStep : BuildStep
```

## Type Hierarchy

-   [BuildStep](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Builder/BuildStep/)
    -   InlineSchemesStep Current type

## Constructors

`public InlineSchemesStep(IWorkflowBuilder builder)` 

Initializes a new instance of the [InlineSchemesStep](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Builder/InlineSchemesStep/) class.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `builder` | `IWorkflowBuilder` | The [IWorkflowBuilder](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Builder/IWorkflowBuilder/) used to generate child process definitions. |

## Properties

`public override string Name { get; }` 

Gets the name of the step.

## Methods

`public override Task<BuildStepResult> ExecuteAsync(ProcessDefinition processDefinition)` 

Expands all inline scheme references in the provided process definition into a single flattened definition.

### Parameters

| Name | Type | Description |
| --- | --- | --- |
| `processDefinition` | `ProcessDefinition` | The [ProcessDefinition](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Model/ProcessDefinition/) that contains inline activities. |

### Returns

| Type | Description |
| --- | --- |
| `Task<BuildStepResult>` | A task that resolves to a [BuildStepResult](https://api.workflowengine.io/core/OptimaJet.Workflow.Core.Builder/BuildStepResult/) describing whether the inlining completed successfully and containing the flattened definition when successful. |

### Remarks

The method validates inline references recursively and fails when a referenced scheme is missing or when a cycle is detected.

## Remarks

The step recursively loads all schemes used by inline activities and merges their process definitions into the root definition before it is returned.
