getData.js

Get data for your recipe.

Retrieving relevant data for a recipe can make the recipe really powerful. The getData.js file can export a function that will be called by AI Writer to retrieve the data.

The getData.js file should export a single getData(data) function that is async. The data parameter contains the options specified in the recipe and getData() can extend this data with additional data.

Example getData function

const { getHeightInMeters } = require("./util");

module.exports.getData = async function (data) {
    const {default: fetch} = await import("node-fetch");
    const response = await fetch(`https://swapi.dev/api/people/${data.id}/`);
    const person = await response.json();
    person.height_in_meters = getHeightInMeters(person.height);
    return { ...data, person };
};

and the util.js file contains the following code:

module.exports.getHeightInMeters = function(heightInCemtimeters) {
  const heightInMeters = heightInCemtimeters / 100;
  const heightInMetersWithTwoDecimals = heightInMeters.toFixed(2);
  const textualResult = `${heightInMetersWithTwoDecimals} meter`;
  return textualResult;
}
