clives / node-red_multiple-inputs

in this fork of node-red a node can have more than one input

Node-red with multiple inputs

Now a function can have more than one input. The inside code is called only if all the inputs are defined. In this case, the function is called using:

msg.load = { functionInput1: xxxx, functionInput2: xxxx, functionInput3: xxxx  }

To reset" the inputs msg we have a special node called :" syncMultiInputs"

###Simple Flow:

f1=f2=

var date = new Date(msg.payload);
msg.payload = date.toString();
return msg;

if you click on both timestamp you will see in the debug view:
{ "f1": "Thu May 12 2016 14:35:57 GMT-0300 (ART)", "f2": "Thu May 12 2016 14:35:57 GMT-0300 (ART)" }

###Flow with syn node:

In this flow, if you click on timestamp Sync... you will have to "execute" amboth function (f1,f2) to show again the debug msg.
