Code Component

Author and run your own code

Component key: code

Description#

The code component allows you to write your own short snippets of JavaScript code, and is handy for writing quick functions or data transformations that are specific to your product or industry. Please see the full article on the code component for information on when a code component is appropriate, and common use cases for a code component.

Code component steps should be succinct and integration-specific. If the code you write could be reused in other integrations, if it needs to handle credentials, or if the code is complex enough that it would benefit from unit tests, etc., you should write a custom component instead.

For some examples of code component usage, check out these quickstart guides:

/* Config variables can be accessed by referencing configVars.variableName:   const apiEndpoint = `${configVars.baseUrl}/api`;
 A credential may be optionally specified in the context and its properties may be accessed through the credential variable:   const method = credential.authorizationMethod;
 Log lines can be written out using the logger object:   logger.log("This code component has started");   logger.warn(`Received some unexpected data: ${stepResults.someStep.results}`);
 Results from the trigger and previous steps can be accessed through the stepResults object. The trigger and step names are translated to camelCaseNames. If a previous step named "Get Data From API" returned an object  {"foo": "bar", "baz": 123}, for example:   { foo, baz } = stepResults.getDataFromApi.results
 Return values of a code component follow the form:    return { data: results } results can be a string ("abc"), number (123.4), complex object  ({foo: "bar", baz: 123}), or binary file (like an image or PDF).
