If you ever wanted a plugin that displays an icon in case you have documentation on your node, the time has come. We proudly announce doc-red . It also gives you a sidebar where all todos are listed and has some nice features like auto-documentation of outputs. Please enjoy and let us know whether …

As per the other thread, would be great if you could update to target node.js versions of 18+ rather than specific versions which currently exclude v20 which I'm running and so I can't use the node I'm afraid.

As in the other thread mentioned we cannot reproduce that problem. We use node v20.18.0 and exclude only lower than v14. "engines": { "node": ">=14.0" } doc-red has also no dependencies (1 dev dependency). We installed it via cli and via node-red manager on a fresh system in gitpod and on a …

Ha, I never even noticed the option for the "dummy" icon on hover. I've just turned it on and it is very useful! Many thanks for this contribution.

I can't however get the comments on every output of let's say a switch node to display. In the example comments of output 2 and 4 are skipped for some reason. [ { "id": "33a14c537ed9f895", "type": "switch", "z": "fa65a577079c6019", "name": "MySwitch", "pr…
