webpipe.js

Javascript library for working with WebPipes. Use with Node.js or in the browser.

Installation

Just include the script. The webpipe object is automagically added to your environment. No need for new or any other sort of initialization.

Browser

Automatically include the most recent release:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/webpipe/umd/webpipe.min.js"></script>

Or, use a specific version by replacing x.x.x:

<script src="https://unpkg.com/webpipe@1.0.0/umd/webpipe.min.js"></script>

Node

Or, if you're using webpipe.js with node.js

$ npm i webpipe --save

Then require the "webpipe" module:

const webpipe = require('webpipe')

Usage

webpipe.js exposes two methods: webpipe.execute() and webpipe.options(). Use webpipe.options() to load a WebPipe's Block Definition. It can be handy while debugging and/or learning about new WebPipes. See examples/ for usage examples.

webpipe.execute(url, inputs, callback)

The real workhorse is webpipe.execute(). Use it to make a request to your WebPipe of choice.

const url = 'https://webpip.es/calculate-square-root'
const inputs = { radicand: 9 }

webpipe.execute(url, inputs, (err, outputs) => {
  if (err) {
    throw new Error(err.message)
  }
  console.log(outputs)
})
