Overview of Vestaboard#

The Vestaboard API allows you to control a networked, mechanical split-flap display, enabling you to automate the content it shows. By integrating with Pipedream, you can develop serverless workflows that respond to various triggers (like incoming webhooks, emails, or scheduled timers) and push updates to your Vestaboard. You can dynamically display information such as meeting reminders, real-time performance metrics, or custom messages based on events from other apps and services.

Connect Vestaboard#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    vestaboard: {
      type: "app",
      app: "vestaboard",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `https://platform.vestaboard.com/viewer`,
      headers: {
        "X-Vestaboard-Api-Key": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_key}`,
        "X-Vestaboard-Api-Secret": `${this.vestaboard.$auth.api_secret}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

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()
  },
})
