Overview of Puppeteer#
Puppeteer is a Node.js library which provides a high-level API to control Chrome/Chromium over the DevTools Protocol. Puppeteer runs in headless mode on Chromium on Pipedream.
Using Puppeteer you can perform tasks including:
- Capture Screenshots: Convert webpages into images.
- Processing PDFs: parse and scan PDFs.
- Web Scraping: Extract data from websites.
- UI/UX Testing: Verify user interface and experience.
- Integration with Test Frameworks: Combine with testing frameworks.
- Task Automation: Automate web-related tasks like form filling.
- Functional Testing: Automate user interactions to test web application functionality.
- Regression Testing: Ensure new code changes don't introduce bugs.
Connect Puppeteer#
import { puppeteer } from '@pipedream/browsers';
export default defineComponent({
async run({steps, $}) {
const browser = await puppeteer.browser();
// Interact with the web page programmatically
// See Puppeeter's Page documentation for available methods:
// https://pptr.dev/api/puppeteer.page
const page = await browser.newPage();
await page.goto('https://pipedream.com/');
const title = await page.title();
const content = await page.content();
// The browser needs to be closed, otherwise the step will hang
await browser.close();
return { title, content }
},
})Overview of Filter#
The Filter API in Pipedream allows for real-time data processing within workflows. It's designed to evaluate data against predefined conditions, enabling workflows to branch or perform specific actions based on those conditions. This API is instrumental in creating efficient, targeted automations that respond dynamically to diverse datasets. Using the Filter API, you can refine streams of data, ensuring that subsequent steps in your Pipedream workflow only execute when the data meets your specified criteria. This cuts down on unnecessary processing and facilitates the creation of more intelligent, context-aware systems.
Connect Filter#
export default defineComponent({
async run({ steps, $ }) {
let condition = false
if (condition == false) {
$.flow.exit("Ending workflow early because the condition is false")
} else {
$.export("$summary", "Continuing workflow, since condition for ending was not met.")
}
},
