component-input-source

Demonstrates the component input source - a workflow designed to be invoked exclusively via run.component from a parent workflow.

When sources: [component] is declared, kdeps starts no HTTP server, bot listener, or file reader. The workflow is driven entirely by component calls from a parent.

Structure

component-input-source/
├── workflow.yaml          # sources: [component]
└── resources/
    └── transform.yaml     # transforms text via Python

What It Does

Takes a text input and an optional style (uppercase | lowercase | title) and returns the transformed text as JSON.

Using It From a Parent Workflow

# In your parent workflow's resource:
run:
  component:
    name: component-input-source
    with:
      text: "hello world"
      style: title

Then access the result:

"{{ output('myActionId') }}"  # {"original":"hello world","style":"title","result":"Hello World"}

The component Source

settings:
  input:
    sources: [component]
    component:
      description: "Transforms text to uppercase, lowercase, or title case."

• sources: [component] - no listener is started; the workflow only runs when called via run.component
• component.description - surfaced by kdeps component list and kdeps component info

Difference from sources: [api]

	api	component
HTTP server started	Yes	No
Callable via run.component	Yes	Yes
Callable via HTTP request	Yes	No
Listed by kdeps component list	Yes	Yes
