Overview of Function#

The Function API allows you to run code snippets in various programming languages directly through API calls. This capability can extend Pipedream workflows by enabling custom logic processing, data transformation, or any operation that requires server-side code execution without deploying or managing servers. By using the Function API, you can incorporate code that's beyond the native actions available within Pipedream, offering a flexible and powerful way to handle complex tasks in your automations.

Connect Function#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    function: {
      type: "app",
      app: "function",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.fxn.ai/user`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.function.$auth.api_key}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Connect Formatting#

export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    const text = ' Hello world! ';
    return text.trim()
  },
})
