Node-RED Nodes

A collection of nodes for Node-RED. See below for a list.

Installation

All of these nodes are available as individual npm packages. See the list below for the npm package names, or search npm.

This repository acts as an overall store for these nodes - and is not intended as a way to install them - unless you really do want some development.

To install - either use the manage palette option in the editor, or change to your Node-RED user directory.

    cd ~/.node-red
    npm install node-red-node-{filename}

To manually install using this repo:

cd into the nodes directory of Node-RED
Either:
- download the zip of the repository and extract it
- run git clone https://github.com/node-red/node-red-nodes.git
run npm install in any of the node subfolders to install individual node's dependencies

Running Tests

Node.js v6 or newer is required. To run tests on all of the nodes you will need the node-red runtime:

npm i node-red-nodes
npm test

Contributing

Now that we support npm installation of nodes we recommend people post their own nodes via npm. Please read the packaging guide notes.

For simple typos and single line fixes please just raise an issue pointing out our mistakes. If you need to raise a pull request please read our contribution guidelines before doing so.

NPM name - File-link - Description

Misc

N/A - 99-sample - A sample node with more comments than most to try to help you get started without any other docs...

Analysis

node-red-node-badwords - 74-swearfilter - Analyses the payload and tries to filter out any messages containing bad swear words. This only operates on payloads of type string. Everything else is blocked.
