Overview of Canvas#

The Canvas API allows you to tap into the power of the Canvas Learning Management System, enabling educators and administrators to automate tasks, synchronize educational tools, and manage courses and users programmatically. It provides endpoints for accessing course information, user details, assignments, and more, which can be incredibly useful for creating customized educational experiences and streamlining administrative workflows. With Pipedream, you can harness these capabilities to trigger actions, connect with other apps and services, and create complex automations without writing extensive code.

Connect Canvas#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    canvas: {
      type: "app",
      app: "canvas",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://${this.canvas.$auth.domain}/api/v1/users/self`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.canvas.$auth.oauth_access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of MongoDB#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

Connect MongoDB#

import mongodb from 'mongodb'

export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    mongodb: {
      type: "app",
      app: "mongodb",
    },
    collection: {
      type: "string"
    },
    filter: {
      type: "object"
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    const MongoClient = mongodb.MongoClient
    
    const {
      database,
      hostname,
      username,
      password,
    } = this.mongodb.$auth
    
    const url = `mongodb+srv://${username}:${password}@${hostname}/test?retryWrites=true&w=majority`
    const client = await MongoClient.connect(url, { 
      useNewUrlParser: true, 
      useUnifiedTopology: true 
    })
    
    const db = client.db(database)

    const results = await db.collection(this.collection).find(this.filter).toArray();
    $.export('results', results);
    
    await client.close()
  },
})
