Hi,

is it possible to access functions from a custom storageModule I provided in a customNode?

So lets say if I have a websocket Connection already open in my storage module could i use that same connection in a custom node.

I just would need like a pipe through of the storageModule-Object from the settingsFile to the custom node editor.

Regards

So. I did find a solution. You can make a package out of your storage module and then import that in your custom node. I didn't know nodejs persists once loaded packages you require multiple times. Then just require the storage class in the custom node and it works.
