This is a template for a Node-RED project meant to be run in local mode. The idea is to run an instance of Node-RED entirely from within a local directory to make it more portable. This also makes running multiple instances of Node-RED at the same time easier.
Node-RED will start with a blank canvas and will save the flow file to flows.json the first time a deploy is done. If you add your own flows.json file it will load that by default.
- Go to https://github.com/s1seven/node-red-template and click on
Use this template. - Clone your newly created repository
- Install dependencies (eg:
npm install) - Start Node-RED with
npm start
When running multiple instances in parallel, you can specify a port:
npm start -- -p 1885
To run a specific flow file:
npm start -- testFlow.json
You can easily add third party nodes by modifying the package.json file. This template include the following dependencies:
- node-red-dashboard
- @s1seven/schema-tools-certificate-summary
- @s1seven/schema-tools-extract-emails
- @s1seven/schema-tools-generate-html
- @s1seven/schema-tools-generate-pdf
- @s1seven/schema-tools-validate
To use @s1seven/schema-tools-* packages in a Node-RED function, you can import them using global.get(<import-name>).
| import name | package |
|---|---|
| certificateSummary | @s1seven/schema-tools-certificate-summary |
| extractEmails | @s1seven/schema-tools-extract-emails |
| generateHtml | @s1seven/schema-tools-generate-html |
| generatePdf | @s1seven/schema-tools-generate-pdf |
| validateCertificate | @s1seven/schema-tools-validate |
