Standard Input

The Standard Input (stdin) allows reading data from the process's standard input stream. It supports both raw text and JSON-formatted input, making it useful for testing or scenarios where data is piped into the application.

Examples

Standard input with raw format

"inputs": {
	"stdin": {
		"type": "stdin",
		"config": {
			"format": "raw"
		}
	}
}

Standard input with JSON format

"inputs": {
	"stdin": {
		"type": "stdin",
		"config": {
			"format": "json"
		}
	}
}

Configuration Parameters

• format:
  Specifies the format of the input data.
  • raw: Each line is treated as a raw string.
  • json: Each line is parsed as a JSON object. If parsing fails, the line is treated as raw text.
    Defaults to raw.

Output

Each line read from stdin generates an object with the following schema:

{
	id: '<input ID>',
	type: 'stdin',
	originalMessage: '<raw data or JSON object>'
}

Notes:

• The originalMessage field contains the raw line or the parsed JSON object, depending on the format configuration.
• If the format is set to json and a line cannot be parsed as JSON, it will be returned as raw text.
• This input is particularly useful for testing or for processing data piped from other commands or scripts.
