Overview of Lifx#

With the Lifx API, you have the power to control your Lifx smart lights programmatically. This API lets you change the color, brightness, and power state of your bulbs, and it also allows you to access information on the lights' settings and environment. Pipedream's serverless platform leverages this functionality to create automations that can be triggered by various events. You can set your lights to respond to external factors like the weather, implement them into your smart home routines, or sync them with your productivity apps for visual notifications.

Connect Lifx#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    lifx: {
      type: "app",
      app: "lifx",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://api.lifx.com/v1/lights/all`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.lifx.$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
  },
})
