A node-red 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]
