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#

New Collection on MongoDB

Description:Emit new an event when a new collection is added to a database

Version:0.0.7

Key:mongodb-new-collection

View on GitHub

MongoDB Overview#

The MongoDB API provides powerful capabilities to interact with a MongoDB database, allowing you to perform CRUD (Create, Read, Update, Delete) operations, manage databases, and execute sophisticated queries. With Pipedream, you can harness these abilities to automate tasks, sync data across various apps, and react to events in real-time. It’s a combo that’s particularly potent for managing data workflows, syncing application states, or triggering actions based on changes to your data.

Trigger Code#

import common from "../common/base.mjs";

export default {
  ...common,
  key: "mongodb-new-collection",
  name: "New Collection",
  description: "Emit new an event when a new collection is added to a database",
  version: "0.0.7",
  type: "source",
  dedupe: "unique",
  props: {
    ...common.props,
    database: {
      propDefinition: [
        common.props.mongodb,
        "database",
      ],
    },
  },
  methods: {
    ...common.methods,
    _getCollectionIds() {
      return this.db.get("collectionIds");
    },
    _setCollectionIds(collectionIds) {
      this.db.set("collectionIds", collectionIds);
    },
    isRelevant(uuid, collectionIds) {
      return !collectionIds.includes(uuid);
    },
    async processEvent(client, ts) {
      const collectionIds = this._getCollectionIds() || [];
      const collections = await this.mongodb.listCollections(client, this.database);
      for (const collection of collections) {
        const uuid = JSON.stringify(collection.info.uuid);
        if (!this.isRelevant(uuid, collectionIds)) {
          continue;
        }
        collectionIds.push(uuid);
        this.emitEvent(collection, ts);
      }
      this._setCollectionIds(collectionIds);
    },
    generateMeta({
      info, name,
    }, ts) {
      return {
        id: info.uuid,
        summary: name,
        ts,
      };
    },
  },
};

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.

Label	Prop	Type	Description
MongoDB	`mongodb`	`app`	This component uses the MongoDB app.
N/A	`db`	`$.service.db`	This component uses `$.service.db` to maintain state between executions.
Polling Interval	`timer`	`$.interface.timer`	Pipedream will poll the API on this schedule
Database	`database`	`string`	Select a value from the drop down menu.

Trigger Authentication#

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

Before you connect to your Mongo database from Pipedream, please make sure your database is accessible from the public internet. You may need to add a firewall rule allowing connections from 0.0.0.0/0.

Then, enter the details of your Mongo host / database below.

About MongoDB#

MongoDB is an open source NoSQL database management program.

Action#

Generate Directions on Mapbox

Description:Generates directions between two or more locations using Mapbox API. [See the documentation](https://docs.mapbox.com/api/navigation/directions/).

Version:0.0.2

Mapbox Overview#

The Mapbox API offers a suite of tools for developers to integrate location-based services into their applications. With Pipedream, you can leverage Mapbox's capabilities to create complex automations and workflows, like real-time mapping, geocoding, and route optimization. Whether you're managing delivery routes, analyzing spatial data, or personalizing user experiences based on location, Mapbox provides the geographical intelligence that, when combined with Pipedream's serverless platform, can turn these ideas into efficient, automated processes.
