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:

// 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
},
