Per generare messaggi nel log da node-red:

node.log("Something happened");
node.warn("Something happened you should know about");
node.error("Oh no, something bad happened");

Visibilità delle variabili (scope)

// initialise the counter to 0 if it doesn't exist already
var count = context.get('count')||0;
count += 1;
// store the value back
context.set('count',count);
// make it part of the outgoing msg object
msg.count = count;

Scope types:

  • context Static data at node level
  • flow Static data at flow level
  • global Static data at global level

node.status({fill:"green",shape:"dot",text:"connected"});
node.status({text:"Just text status"});
node.status({});   // to clear the status
