# $PIPEDREAM_STEPS file contains data from previous steps
cat $PIPEDREAM_STEPS | jq .trigger.context.id

# Write data to $PIPEDREAM_EXPORTS to return it from the step

echo foo=bar >> $PIPEDREAM_EXPORTS

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
  },
})
