Built-in types

You meet these types on plugin pins. They are available in every flow without importing them.

Type	What it is
NoInputData	An empty record for connections that carry no data, such as a Timer tick or a start call.
AnyData	An empty record for connections where the data does not matter.
FlowConfiguration	The flow's own settings. Fields you add here appear in the flow properties and, for a published flow, as the plugin's configuration.
TextRecord	Text with a Name, a Value and a ContentType. Used by the text, JSON, Handlebars and LLM plugins.
EventData	A CloudEvents 1.0 event: Id, Source, SpecVersion, Type, Time, DataContentType, Subject, Data (bytes) and Headers, plus Channel and ReplyTo. Used by the Kafka, MQTT and NATS plugins.
WebHttpRequest	An HTTP request: Method, Uri, Headers, Body or ByteBody, Form, FileName, ContentType. Produced by the Http listener.
ViaFileInfo	A file's name, path, size and timestamps, without its content. Produced by the file plugins.
ViaFileStream	A file's information with an open stream to its content. Passed from file readers to decoders.
DbShapeRequest	Paging, sorting and filtering for database queries (with DbSort and the DbWhere... condition types).

ViaFileStream holds an open stream, so it has no JSON form.
