Kinvey on NoFlo

Use Kinvey as your backend? Want to use NoFlo too? Here's the package that you need! This is a simple wrapper around Kinvey NPM library.

Installation

npm install --save noflo-kinvey

Usage

• kinvey/Kinvey
• kinvey/DataStoreFind
• kinvey/DataStoreSave

Listed in-ports in bold are required and out-ports in bold always produce IPs.

DataStore operations in Kinvey allows the use of promises within the call itself, like:

var promise = Kinvey.DataStore.save('users', event, {
  success: function(response) { ... }
});

The last (third) argument is part of the 'options' parameter, or the 'OPTIONS' port in noflo-kinvey. In NoFlo, it does not make sense to pass the functions in the options parameter, so please avoid doing so. Instead, the component should output to its 'OUT' port a promise, which can then be piped to a promise/Then for further instructions.
