Functions Modules

Functions modules provide collections of pre-written code that offer functionality for various tasks, serving as reusable components.

When working inside a Function these modules can be used to extend the Function's capabilities without having to write everything from scratch.

A library can be imported using the require() method.

const xhr = require(xhr); // Example of importing a library

The following modules are available in Functions:

Library Name	Description
XHR	The `XHR` library is used to enable the developer to send `HTTP` or `HTTPS` requests to a remote web server and load the response data back into a Function. This library is perfect for third-party authentication or triggering webhooks from a Function.
KV Store	This library allows access to the `KV store`. It's a persistent key value store that acts as a database for your Functions. The `KV store` database is globally distributed and eventually consistent. Data in the `KV store` is shared at a subscribe key level.
Advanced Math	Global (lat-long) coordinate and geometry Functions.
Crypto	The `Crypto` library provides encryption and decryption functionality in an Function.
Utils	Simple utility Functions that didn't belong anywhere else.
Codec/auth	Provides an encoder for `HTTP` basic auth credentials.
Codec/base64	Provides an encoder and decoder for Base64 strings.
Codec/query_string	Provides an encoder and decoder for URI query parameters.
PubNub	The `PubNub` library allows you to leverage many of the client SDK features supported by the PubNub Platform.
vault	Read-only database to retrieve secrets.
UUID	A library for generating RFC-compliant UUIDs in JavaScript.
JWT	A library for generating and verifying JSON Web Tokens.
JSONPath Plus	A library for analyzing, transforming, and selectively extracting data from JSON documents (and JavaScript objects).
