global helper functions that I frequently use.

node-red global helper functions

repo local path on all machines: /home/ado/nodered/globalHelpers

Usage

• add helpers to settings.js
  • location: /home/ado/nodered/red/settings.js
  • section: functionGlobalContext
  • syntax: fns:require($repoPath)
• declare variable or destructure from context.global.fns

Example

const { unique } = context.global.fns
const data = ['x', 'x', 'y', 'z']

msg.payload = data.reduce(unique, [])
// ['x', 'y', 'z']
return msg

You can choose any variable name when declaring it in the settings file, but we're currently using fns for consistency.

You must install pdftk (apt, not npm) for pdffiller to work correctly.
