Flow API component

The component makes API requests and is designed to work with Flow SDK

To get started, install the package in your NodeJS project

npm i flow-api-component --save

Use the component as below

// require the component
const Component = require('flow-api-component');

// create instance of the GET component for example
const component = new Component.GET();

Provide url, headers and any data to pass

component.getProperty('URL').data = 'https://www.google.com/';
component.getProperty('Headers').data = {
  'X-Requested-With': 'XMLHttpRequest'
};
component.getProperty('Data').data = {
  'q': 'home'
};

Listen in for port emit events

component.getPort('Complete').onEmit(function() {
  // request was successfully made
  const port = this.getPort('Complete');
  // the response can be accessed through properties of the port
  const statusCode = port.getProperty('StatusCode').data;
  const statusText = port.getProperty('StatusText').data;
  const responseHeaders = port.getProperty('Headers').data;
  const responseData = port.getProperty('Data').data;
  // or the whole response object
  const response = port.getProperty('Response').data;
});

component.getPort('Failed').onEmit(function() {
  // an error occured
  // the actual error can be accessed through the 'Data' property of the port
  let err = component.getPort('Failed').getProperty('Data').data;
});

Execute the component

// add the component to a graph before executing it
const Graph = require('flow-platform-sdk').Graph;
new Graph("graph-1").addComponent(component);

component.execute();

Conclusion

That's the Flow API GET component. Also check, the POST, PUT, DELETE components.
