Overview of Directus#

Directus is an open-source headless CMS with a rich API that lets you manage content dynamically and distribute it across various channels. Harness Directus API on Pipedream to automate content operations, streamline workflows, and integrate with countless other apps. With real-time capabilities, you can trigger actions on content changes, automate publishing, sync with external databases, and more. Pipedream's serverless platform provides a powerful, flexible way to build custom automations using Directus, without writing complex infrastructural code.

Connect Directus#

import { axios } from "@pipedream/platform"
export default defineComponent({
  props: {
    directus: {
      type: "app",
      app: "directus",
    }
  },
  async run({steps, $}) {
    return await axios($, {
      url: `${this.directus.$auth.api_host}/users/me`,
      headers: {
        Authorization: `Bearer ${this.directus.$auth.access_token}`,
      },
    })
  },
})

Overview of Node#

Develop, run and deploy your Node.js code in Pipedream workflows, using it between no-code steps, with connected accounts, or integrate Data Stores and File Stores.

This includes installing NPM packages, within your code without having to manage a package.json file or running npm install.

Below is an example of installing the axios package in a Pipedream Node.js code step. Pipedream imports the axios package, performs the API request, and shares the response with subsequent workflow steps:

Connect Node#

// To use previous step data, pass the `steps` object to the run() function
export default defineComponent({
  async run({ steps, $ }) {
    // Return data to use it in future steps
    return steps.trigger.event
  },
})
