The 51Degrees Pipeline API is a generic web request intelligence and data processing solution with the ability to add a range of 51Degrees and/or custom plug ins (Engines)
This package definds the essential components of the Pipeline API such as flow elements, flow data and evidence. It also packages together JavaScript served by a pipeline and allows for client side requests for additional data populated by evidence from the client side.
It can be used on its own or with the following additional packages.
- fiftyone.pipeline.engines - Adds a specialized type of flow element called an engine which allows for additional features including an auto-updating data file for properties, a service called when a requested property is missing and a caching system.
Engines created by 51Degrees including:
- fiftyone.devicedetection - A device detection engine
- fiftyone.location - A geolocation lookup engine
Make use of the above along with the following additional packages:
- fiftyone.pipeline.engines.fiftyone - Functionality specific to 51Degrees engines.
- fiftyone.pipeline.cloudrequestengine - An engine used to make requests to the 51Degrees cloud service.
npm install fiftyone.pipeline.core
To run tests you will need to install the jest library.

Then, navigate to the module directory and execute:
npm test
- examples/customFlowElements/1-simpleEvidenceFlowElement.js - Demonstrates how to create a custom flow element that takes some evidence (birthdate) and returns something related to that evidence (star sign)
- examples/customFlowelements/3-clientSideEvidenceFlowElement.js - Demonstrates how to modify the flow element from the 'simple evidence' example to gather evidence from code running on the client device (i.e. JavaScript).
