Description
Describe the solution you'd like
Provide a Temporal client to the activity context of each SDK so activity authors can more easily use the client.
- Go - https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-go/issues/1761
- Java - https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-java/issues/2362
- Core - N/A
- TypeScript - N/A: Worker only has a
NativeConnection, but Activities would need either aConnectionor aClient. - Python - https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-python/issues/721
- .NET - https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-dotnet/issues/389
- Ruby - https://github.com/temporalio/sdk-ruby/issues/181
- PHP - TBD whether to expose a client since one is not required to create a worker, maybe this just isn't in PHP
- Temporal CLI - N/A
