Overview of Backendless#

Backendless is a visual app development platform that allows developers to create mobile and web apps without needing to manage the backend infrastructure. It offers features like database management, user authentication, real-time data, and serverless hosting. With the Backendless API on Pipedream, you can automate workflows, sync data across apps, process data triggers, and handle user actions in real-time. It's perfect for extending app capabilities, integrating with third-party services, and automating repetitive tasks.

Connect Backendless#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    backendless: {
      type: "app",
      app: "backendless",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.backendless.$auth.subdomain}.backendless.app/api/users/${this.backendless.$auth.oauth_uid}`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.backendless.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
        "Content-Type": `application/json`,
        "user-token": `${this.backendless.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
