How to Pass the Entire MJS Code Directly Instead of the Path in a Pipedream Source Component?

Help

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

in the following code which i am gonna paste in a component:
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

async function deploySource() {
const response = await axios($, {
method: “POST”,
url: “https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources”,
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${process.env.PIPEDREAM_API_KEY},
},
data: {
component: “path/to/your/source/component.mjs”, // Path to your source component
props: {
// Define your props here
prop1: “value1”,
prop2: “value2”,
},
},
});

return response.data;
}

instead of path to your source component, i want to directly pass the entire mjs code

To directly pass the entire .mjs code instead of the path to your source component, you can include the code as a string in the data object of your axios request. Here’s how you can modify your function: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; async function deploySource() { const sourceCode = ` import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { // Define your props here prop1: { type: "string", label: "Prop 1", }, prop2: { type: "string", label: "Prop 2", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Your component logic here return "Hello, world!"; }, }); `; const response = await axios($, { method: "POST", url: "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PIPEDREAM_API_KEY}`, }, data: { component: sourceCode, // Directly pass the source code as a string props: { prop1: "value1", prop2: "value2", }, }, }); return response.data; } In this example, the sourceCode variable contains the entire code of your component as a string. This string is then passed directly in the data object of the axios request under the component key. This way, you don’t need to reference a file path and can directly include the component code in your request.

within a component, can i add files, is there a file directory

4

Yes, within a Pipedream component, you can add files and interact with a file directory. Pipedream provides a File Store that you can use to manage files within your project. Here’s an example of how to list files in the root directory of the File Store and open them as File instances: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // list all contents of the root File Stores directory in this project const dirs = $.files.dir(); let files = []; for await (const dir of dirs) { // if this is a file, let's open it if (dir.isFile()) { files.push(await $.files.open(dir.path)); } } return files; }, }); ### Listing Files in the File Store The $.files.dir() method allows you to list files and directories within the Project’s File Store. By default, it will list the files at the root directory. ### Adding Files to the File Store To add files to the File Store, you can use the $.files.write() method. Here’s an example: export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const content = "Hello, World!"; const path = "/hello.txt"; // Write content to a file in the File Store await $.files.write(path, content); return { path, content }; }, }); ### Opening Files from the File Store To open files from the File Store, you can use the $.files.open() method. Here’s an example: ```
export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { const path = “/hello.txt”; // Open the file from the File Store const file = await $.files.open(path); return file; }, });

i have an mjs file locally, in a component in a workflow, i need to pass the path, so where in the workflow can i store this mjs file , so i can refer to it from the component

6

To store an .mjs file and refer to it from a component in a Pipedream workflow, you can use the File Store feature. Here’s how you can manage and access files within your workflow: 1. Upload the File to the File Store: - First, you need to upload your .mjs file to the File Store associated with your project. You can do this via the Pipedream UI or programmatically. 2. Access the File in Your Workflow: - Once the file is uploaded, you can access it within your workflow using the $.files helper. Here’s an example of how to download the file to the /tmp directory and use it within a component: import fs from 'fs'; export default defineComponent({ async run({ steps, $ }) { // Download the .mjs file from the File Store to the local /tmp/ directory const filePath = '/tmp/your-file.mjs'; await $.files.open('your-file.mjs').toFile(filePath); // Read the file content const fileContent = await fs.promises.readFile(filePath, 'utf-8'); // Use the file content as needed console.log(fileContent); // Return the file content or any other data return fileContent; }, }); ### Key Points: - File Store Scope: File Stores are scoped to projects. Only workflows within the same project can access the files. - Temporary Directory: Always use the /tmp directory for reading and writing files within Pipedream workflows. For more details, you can refer to the Managing File Stores from Workflows documentation. If you have any further questions or need additional assistance, feel free to ask!

the following code, i want to store in a string in js :

import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default {
name: “Source Demo”,
description: “This is a demo source”,
props: {
github: {
type: “app”,
app: “github”,
},
timer: {
type: “$.interface.timer”,
default: {
intervalSeconds: 15 * 60,
},
},
},
dedupe: “greatest”,
async run() {
const data = await axios(this, {
method: “get”,
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token},
},
url: https://api.github.com/repos/pddemo/demo/issues,
});
data.forEach((issue) => {
this.$emit(issue, {
id: issue.id,
summary: ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title},
ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at),
});
});
},
};

8

To store the response data in a string in your JavaScript code, you can modify the run method to concatenate the data into a string. Here’s the updated code: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { github: { type: "app", app: "github", }, timer: { type: "$.interface.timer", default: { intervalSeconds: 15 * 60, }, }, }, dedupe: "greatest", async run({ steps, $ }) { const data = await axios($, { method: "get", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, url: `https://api.github.com/repos/pddemo/demo/issues`, }); let issuesString = ""; data.forEach((issue) => { issuesString += `ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title}\n`; this.$emit(issue, { id: issue.id, summary: `ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title}`, ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at), }); }); // Return the concatenated string return issuesString; }, }); In this code, we concatenate each issue’s summary into the issuesString variable and return it at the end of the run method. This way, you will have all the issue summaries stored in a single string.

the folloiwng i am unable to store in a string:

const sourceCode = `
import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default {
name: “Source Demo”,
description: “This is a demo source”,
props: {
github: {
type: “app”,
app: “github”,
},
timer: {
type: “$.interface.timer”,
default: {
intervalSeconds: 15 * 60,
},
},
},
dedupe: “greatest”,
async run() {
const data = await axios(this, {
method: “get”,
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token},
},
url: https://api.github.com/repos/pddemo/demo/issues,
});
data.forEach((issue) => {
this.$emit(issue, {
id: issue.id,
summary: ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title},
ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at),
});
});
},
};
`

10

To store the provided code in a string, you need to escape the backticks and any special characters within the string. Here’s how you can do it: const sourceCode = ` import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default { name: "Source Demo", description: "This is a demo source", props: { github: { type: "app", app: "github", }, timer: { type: "$.interface.timer", default: { intervalSeconds: 15 * 60, }, }, }, dedupe: "greatest", async run() { const data = await axios(this, { method: "get", headers: { Authorization: \`Bearer \${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}\`, }, url: "https://api.github.com/repos/pddemo/demo/issues", }); data.forEach((issue) => { this.$emit(issue, { id: issue.id, summary: \`ISSUE \${issue.number}: \${issue.title}\`, ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at), }); }); }, }; `; In this example, I’ve used backslashes to escape the backticks within the string template literals. This allows the entire code block to be stored as a string in the sourceCode variable.

Let’s break down your question step-by-step to ensure we address all parts accurately: ### 1. Is the code correct to use in a component? The code you provided is mostly correct but needs some adjustments to align with Pipedream’s component structure and best practices. Here is the revised version: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ name: “github-issues-sample”, description: “This is a custom source for Velora AI, which fetches user credentials from an external source, and then uses the GET API to fetch GitHub issues for a user repo, with 15-minute timer intervals.”, props: { timer: { type: “$.interface.timer”, default: { intervalSeconds: 15 * 60, }, }, repo_full_name: { type: “string”, label: “Repository Full Name”, description: “Enter the name of the GitHub repository in the format ‘owner/repo’”, }, nango_connection_id: { type: “string”, label: “Nango Connection ID”, description: “Enter the Nango Connection ID”, }, nango_integration_id: { type: “string”, label: “Nango Integration ID”, description: “Enter the Nango Integration ID”, }, velora_workflow_id: { type: “string”, label: “Velora Workflow ID”, description: “Enter the Workflow ID”, }, velora_workspace_id: { type: “string”, label: “Velora Workspace ID”, description: “Enter the Workspace ID”, }, }, dedupe: “greatest”, async run({ steps, $ }) { try { // Step 1: Retrieve the GitHub token from Nango const nangoResponse = await axios($, { method: “GET”, headers: { Authorization: Bearer ${process.env.VELORA_NANGO_SECRET_KEY}, }, url: https://api.nango.dev/connection/${this.nango_connection_id}?provider_config_key=${this.nango_integration_id}, }); // Extract the GitHub access token from the response const github_token = nangoResponse.credentials.access_token; // Step 2: Use the GitHub token to make a request to

is the following code correct to use in a component and if it is ,

  1. where is the source being deployed
  2. what are we getting in the response data :
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

async function deploySource() {
  const sourceCode = `
    import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";
    export default defineComponent({
      props: {
        // Define your props here
        prop1: {
          type: "string",
          label: "Prop 1",
        },
        prop2: {
          type: "string",
          label: "Prop 2",
        },
      },
      async run({ steps, $ }) {

      },
    });
  `;

  const response = await axios($, {
    method: "POST",

        prop2: "value2",
      },
    },
  });

  return response.data;
}
14

Let’s break down your question step-by-step: ### 1. Is the following code correct to use in a component? The provided code is not structured correctly for a Pipedream component. Pipedream components should use the defineComponent function and follow a specific structure. Here’s a corrected version of your component: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ props: { prop1: { type: "string", label: "Prop 1", }, prop2: { type: "string", label: "Prop 2", }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { // Your component logic here return "Hello, world!"; }, }); ### 2. Where is the source being deployed? In your code, you are attempting to deploy the source to Pipedream using an HTTP POST request to the URL https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources. This URL is used to create new sources in Pipedream. The source code is passed as a string in the data field of the request. ### 3. What are we getting in the response data? The response data from the axios request to https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources will contain information about the newly created source. This typically includes details such as the source ID, name, and other metadata. The exact structure of the response will depend on the Pipedream API, but it generally includes: - id: The unique identifier for the source. - name: The name of the source. - status: The status of the source (e.g., active, inactive). - created_at: The timestamp when the source was created. ### Corrected Code Example Here’s a corrected version of your code that follows the Pipedream component structure and deploys the source correctly: ``` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { prop1: { type: “string”, label: “Prop 1”, }, prop2: { type: “string”, label: “Prop 2”, }, }, async run({ steps, $ }) { const sourceCode = ` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props:

in the following

  1. where is the source being deployed
  2. what are we getting in the response data :
import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";

async function deploySource() {
  const sourceCode = `
    import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform";
    export default defineComponent({
      props: {
        // Define your props here
        prop1: {
          type: "string",
          label: "Prop 1",
        },
        prop2: {
          type: "string",
          label: "Prop 2",
        },
      },
      async run({ steps, $ }) {
        // Your component logic here
        return "Hello, world!";
      },
    });
  `;

  const response = await axios($, {
    method: "POST",
    url: "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources",
    headers: {
      Authorization: `Bearer ${process.env.PIPEDREAM_API_KEY}`,
    },
    data: {
      component: sourceCode, // Directly pass the source code as a string
      props: {
        prop1: "value1",
        prop2: "value2",
      },
    },
  });

  return response.data;
}

Question: 1. Where is the source being deployed? 2. What are we getting in the response data? ### Answer: 1. Where is the source being deployed? The source is being deployed to Pipedream’s platform via an HTTP POST request to the URL https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources. This URL is part of the Pipedream API, which allows users to programmatically create and manage sources. 2. What are we getting in the response data? The response data from the axios request will contain the details of the newly created source. This typically includes metadata about the source such as its ID, name, status, and any other relevant configuration details. The exact structure of the response will depend on the Pipedream API’s response format for the POST /v1/sources endpoint. ### Example Response Data (Hypothetical) Here is an example of what the response data might look like: ```

on { “id”: “source_12345”, “name”: “My New Source”, “status”: “active”, “props”: { “prop1”: “value1”, “prop2”: “value2” }, “created_at”: “2023-10-05T12:34:56.789Z”, “updated_at”: “2023-10-05T12:34:56.789Z” }
This response includes: - `id`: The unique identifier for the source. - `name`: The name of the source. - `status`: The current status of the source (e.g., active, inactive). - `props`: The properties passed during the source creation. - `created_at`: The timestamp when the source was created. - `updated_at`: The timestamp when the source was last updated. ### Code Explanation Here is the provided code with comments for clarity: import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; async function deploySource() { const sourceCode = ` import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”; export default defineComponent({ props: { // Define your props here prop1: { type: “string”, label: “Prop 1”, }, prop2: { type: “string”, label: “Prop 2”, }, }, async run

17

using https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources, i need to add a component in my workflow, the code in that component should use that api to create a source like how this mjs file is creating :

import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default {
name: “Source Demo”,
description: “This is a demo source”,
props: {
github: {
type: “app”,
app: “github”,
},
timer: {
type: “$.interface.timer”,
default: {
intervalSeconds: 15 * 60,
},
},
},
dedupe: “greatest”,
async run() {
const data = await axios(this, {
method: “get”,
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token},
},
url: https://api.github.com/repos/pddemo/demo/issues,
});
data.forEach((issue) => {
this.$emit(issue, {
id: issue.id,
summary: ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title},
ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at),
});
});
},
};

and i also want to add my own prop

18

To create a Pipedream component that uses the Pipedream API to create a source, you can follow the structure of the example you provided. I’ll also include an additional prop as requested. Here’s how you can do it: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ name: "Create Source Component", description: "This component uses the Pipedream API to create a source", props: { pipedream: { type: "app", app: "pipedream", }, timer: { type: "$.interface.timer", default: { intervalSeconds: 15 ** 60, }, }, myProp: { type: "string", label: "My Custom Prop", description: "This is a custom prop added by the user", }, }, dedupe: "greatest", async run({ steps, $ }) { const response = await axios($, { method: "post", url: "https://api.pipedream.com/v1/sources", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.pipedream.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, "Content-Type": "application/json", }, data: { component_key: "rss-new-item-in-feed", // Replace with the actual component key props: { url: "https://example.com/rss", // Replace with the actual URL timer: this.timer, }, }, }); this.$emit(response, { summary: `Created Source: ${response.name}`, id: response.id, }); }, }); ### Explanation: 1. Props: - pipedream: This is the app prop to connect to the Pipedream API. - timer: This is a timer prop to schedule the source. - myProp: This is a custom prop added as per your request. 2. *run Method: - Makes a POST request to the Pipedream API to create a source. - Uses the axios method from @pipedream/platform. - Emits the response from the API request. ### Steps to Use: 1. Save the code to a local .js file (e.g., create-source.js). 2. Deploy and run it using the Pipedream CLI

19

in pipedream , i added a component, in that component , i need to add code to deploy a source , heres the code which iwas deploying from local, now i want to deploy from the workflow component :

import { axios } from “@pipedream/platform”;

export default {
name: “Source Demo”,
description: “This is a demo source”,
props: {
github: {
type: “app”,
app: “github”,
},
timer: {
type: “$.interface.timer”,
default: {
intervalSeconds: 15 * 60,
},
},
},
dedupe: “greatest”,
async run() {
const data = await axios(this, {
method: “get”,
headers: {
Authorization: Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token},
},
url: https://api.github.com/repos/pddemo/demo/issues,
});
data.forEach((issue) => {
this.$emit(issue, {
id: issue.id,
summary: ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title},
ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at),
});
});
},
};

To deploy a source directly from a Pipedream workflow component, you need to modify the structure of your existing code to fit within the defineComponent function. Here’s how you can do it: import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"; export default defineComponent({ name: "Source Demo", description: "This is a demo source", props: { github: { type: "app", app: "github", }, timer: { type: "$.interface.timer", default: { intervalSeconds: 15 ** 60, }, }, }, dedupe: "greatest", async run({ steps, $ }) { const data = await axios($, { method: "get", headers: { Authorization: `Bearer ${this.github.$auth.oauth_access_token}`, }, url: `https://api.github.com/repos/pddemo/demo/issues`, }); data.forEach((issue) => { this.$emit(issue, { id: issue.id, summary: `ISSUE ${issue.number}: ${issue.title}`, ts: issue.created_at && +new Date(issue.created_at), }); }); }, }); ### Explanation: 1. Importing axios: The axios import from @pipedream/platform is placed at the top of the file. 2. Component Definition: The defineComponent function is used to define the component. 3. Props: The props object includes the github app and timer interface. 4. *Run Method: The run method is defined to execute the HTTP request and emit events. This code will allow you to deploy the source directly from within a Pipedream workflow component. If you need further assistance, please let me know!
