Hello, i recently managed to create my own node but unfortunately i can't access my global variables in the JavaScript Code of the node. I tried it like this: global.get("name") As soon as i use it in Node-RED i get the following Error: "TypeError: global.get is not a function" Does somebody kno…

As per the docs? https://nodered.org/docs/creating-nodes/context

Thats my code: module.exports = function(RED) { function test11(config) { RED.nodes.createNode(this,config); var context = this.context(); var globalContext = this.context().global; var node = this; this.on('input', function(msg) { var outMsg = {}; var path = msg.path; var iteration …

you name the global context globalContext not global. So you need globalContext.get("encodedWithName")

for my case it is saying "ReferenceError: globalContext is not defined"

Post the function that shows this.

It is remarkable how often asking a question results in apparent solution of the problem without any further feedback from the original poster.
