A subflow is a collection of nodes that appear as a single node in the workspace. They also appear in the node palette and can be added to a flow like any other node. They are effectively reusable groups of nodes much like sub routines in traditionally programs. Any changes to the subflow are effective immediately in all flows using that subflow Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: 0]

Function Node Programming-Loops,Arrays and objects
Using Loops There are several loops available – for,while, do while. Loops let you repeat an action. By far the most common one is the for loop. The general format is: for (begin; condition; step) { // … loop body … } Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: 0]

It has always been possible to store JSON Data in an SQLite database as JSON data is simply text data. However what was not previously possible was how to query this JSON data using a key. This changed in version 3.9 in 2015 (SQLite history) and so there is now no need to separate out the JSON data so that you can query using a key. . Click to rate this post! [Total: 4 Average: 4]

Environmental variables are used on operating systems (Linux,Windows etc) to store user and system data. Environmental variables are stored as key value pairs of the form name=value. A common environmental variable on Linux and Windows is the use home directory. On windows this is HOMEPATH and on Linux HOME. Click to rate this post! [Total: 3 Average: 5]

As previously discussed in the the understanding the message object tutorial messages are passed between nodes using a message object. And as also discussed that this object is a standard JavaScript object and In JavaScript objects are passed by reference and not by value. Click to rate this post! [Total: 1 Average: 5]

If you want to save a flow or function and reuse it later in another flow on the same computer then you can save it to the local library. To save a flow to the library highlight all nodes in the flow by using CTRL+A then use the main menu (top right) and select Export>Library. Click to rate this post! [Total: 0 Average: 0]
