How Can You Determine the Number of Keys in a Data-Store?

This topic was automatically generated from Slack. You can find the original thread here.

is there a way to see how many keys are in a data-store?

Yes, you can see the number of keys in a Data Store by using the keys() method in a Python code step. Here’s an example: ```
def handler(pd: “pipedream”): data_store = pd.inputs[‘data_store’] keys = data_store.keys() num_keys = len(keys) return num_keys

can you

but in this code?

export default defineComponent({
props: {
myDataStore: {
type: “data_store”,
},
},
async run({ steps, $ }) {
const currentProducts = await this.myDataStore.entries();
},
})

Sure, I can modify the code to count the number of keys in the Data Store: ```
export default defineComponent({ props: { myDataStore: { type: “data_store”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const currentProducts = await this.myDataStore.entries(); const numKeys = Object.keys(currentProducts).length; console.log(Number of keys in the Data Store: ${numKeys}); }, });

can I do without this

const currentProducts = await this.myDataStore.entries();

Yes, you can directly count the number of keys in the Data Store without assigning the entries to a variable. Here’s the modified code: export default defineComponent({ props: { myDataStore: { type: "data_store", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const numKeys = Object.keys(await this.myDataStore.entries()).length; console.log(`Number of keys in the Data Store: ${numKeys}`); }, }); This code will log the number of keys in the Data Store without using the currentProducts variable.

can I use this?

import FormData **from ‘**form-data’)

Yes, you can use import FormData from "form-data" in a Pipedream code step to work with multipart/form-data requests. Here’s an example of how to use it: import axios from "axios"; import FormData from "form-data"; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const formData = new FormData(); formData.append("name", "Luke Skywalker"); const headers = formData.getHeaders(); const config = { method: "POST", url: "https://example.com", headers, data: formData, }; return await axios(config); } }); This example sends a multipart/form-data request using FormData and axios.
