is there a way for me to edit generic nodejs code blocks in Cursor via Pipedream Connect or something? I’d like to leverage a lot of autocomplete stuff in AI IDEs for speed
Currently, Pipedream does not have a direct integration with Cursor or any external AI IDEs via Pipedream Connect that would allow you to edit generic Node.js code blocks outside of the Pipedream UI. However, here are the main ways you can leverage AI-assisted code editing within Pipedream: - Edit with AI in Pipedream UI: Pipedream provides a built-in “Edit with AI” feature for Node.js code steps. You can click the Edit with AI button at the top-right of any Node.js code step in your workflow. This opens a code generation window where you can prompt the AI to generate or modify code for you, leveraging autocomplete and code suggestions directly in the Pipedream interface. - Use AI to Generate New Steps: When adding a new step, you can choose “Use AI” to describe the code you want, and Pipedream will generate it for you. This is especially useful for quickly scaffolding out logic or API calls. - Local Development (Advanced): If you want to use an external IDE (like Cursor) for advanced autocomplete and AI features, you can develop Pipedream components locally, then publish them to Pipedream via the CLI. This workflow is more involved but gives you the full power of your local development environment. Summary: - There’s no direct Pipedream Connect or Cursor integration for live code editing/autocomplete. - You can use Pipedream’s built-in AI code editing features within their UI. - For advanced workflows, develop components locally in your preferred IDE, then upload to Pipedream. If you have feedback or want to request deeper IDE integration, you can share it with the Pipedream team at Support - Pipedream. Let me know if you want more details on any of these options!
Ah, that’s a shame. It’d be great if the platform could do this with some sort of websocket connection to an extension in Cursor/VS Code or so.
I’m not sure I totally follow the core use case — can you elaborate?
I’d like to edit the code in any free-form code editing steps in Cursor
instead of using the editor on the UI
Oh sorry I was thrown off by referencing Connect — yea so you want the context-aware and auto-complete features that you get from the native code editor in the Pipedream UI but in your IDE, right?
errr not quite, I’d rather use my own IDE to code stuff in any code-based Pipedream steps
So, GitHub Sync?
right I can always Git sync and push to git and edit locally and push back, but what about intermediate testing while I’m building? like if I want to just run that code step snippet while editing in my Cursor IDE
Ah, got it yes, our tooling there leaves a lot to be desired…
