Details

This integration uses pre-built, source-available components from Pipedream's GitHub repo. These components are developed by Pipedream and the community, and verified and maintained by Pipedream.

To contribute an update to an existing component or create a new component, create a PR on GitHub. If you're new to Pipedream component development, you can start with quickstarts for trigger span and action development, and then review the component API reference.

Trigger

Description:Emit new event each time you add or remove a document from a specific collection, with the details of the document.
Version:0.0.8

      default: false,
    },
  },

    // since this time on the next run. Fauna expects epoch ms as its cursor.
    const ts = +new Date() * 1000;
    const cursor = this.db.get("cursor") || ts;

    const events = await this.fauna.getEventsInCollectionAfterTs(
      this.collection,
      cursor,
    );

    if (!events.length) {
      console.log(`No new events in collection ${this.collection}`);
      this.db.set("cursor", ts);
      return;

          id: `${event.action}-${event.document.id}`, // dedupes events based on this ID
        });
      }
    }

    // Finally, set cursor for the next run to the max timestamp of the changed events, ensuring we
    // get all events after that on the next run. We need to add 1 since the timestamp filter in
    // Fauna is inclusive: https://docs.fauna.com/fauna/current/api/fql/functions/paginate
    const maxEventTs = _.maxBy(events, (event) => event.ts).ts + 1;

    this.db.set("cursor", maxEventTs);
  },
};

Trigger Configuration

This component may be configured based on the props defined in the component code. Pipedream automatically prompts for input values in the UI and CLI.
LabelPropTypeDescription
timer$.interface.timer
N/Adb$.service.dbThis component uses $.service.db to maintain state between executions.

Emit changes as a single eventemitEventsInBatchboolean

If true, all events are emitted as an array, within a single Pipedream event. Defaults to false, emitting each event in Fauna as its own event in Pipedream

Trigger Authentication

Fauna uses API keys for authentication. When you connect your Fauna account, Pipedream securely stores the keys so you can easily authenticate to Fauna APIs in both code and no-code steps.

Create a key in the Security section of your FaunaDB dashboard, then enter the Secret below.
