Node

type: "io.kestra.core.tasks.scripts.Node"

Execute a Node.js script

With this Node task, we can execute a full javascript script.
The task will create a temprorary folder for every tasks and allows you to install some npm packages defined in an optional package.json file.

By convention, you need to define at least a main.js files in inputFiles that will be the script used.
You can also add as many javascript files as you need in inputFiles.

You can send outputs & metrics from your node script that can be used by others tasks. In order to help, we inject a node package directly on the working dir.Here is an example usage:

const Kestra = require("./kestra");
Kestra.outputs({test: 'value', int: 2, bool: true, float: 3.65});
Kestra.counter('count', 1, {tag1: 'i', tag2: 'win'});
Kestra.timer('timer1', (callback) => { setTimeout(callback, 1000) }, {tag1: 'i', tag2: 'lost'});
Kestra.timer('timer2', 2.12, {tag1: 'i', tag2: 'destroy'});

Examples

Execute a node script

id: "node"
type: "io.kestra.core.tasks.scripts.Node"
inputFiles:
  main.js: |
    const Kestra = require("./kestra");
    const fs = require('fs')
    const result = fs.readFileSync(process.argv[2], "utf-8")
    console.log(JSON.parse(result).status)
    const axios = require('axios')
    axios.get('http://google.fr').then(d => console.log(d.status); Kestra.outputs({'status': d.status, 'text': d.data}))
    console.log(require('./mymodule').value)
  data.json: |
    {"status": "OK"}
  mymodule.js: |
    module.exports.value = 'hello world'
