class starlite.datastructures.background_tasks.BackgroundTasks

Bases: object

A container for multiple ‘background’ task functions.

Background tasks are called once a Response finishes.

__init__(tasks: Iterable[BackgroundTask], run_in_task_group: bool = False) → None

Initialize BackgroundTasks.

Parameters:

• tasks – An iterable of BackgroundTask instances.

• run_in_task_group – If you set this value to True than the tasks will run concurrently, using an [anyio.task_group](https://anyio.readthedocs.io/en/stable/tasks.html). Note: this will not preserve execution order.

async __call__() → None

Call the wrapped background tasks.

Returns:

None
