Hi folks,
First my apologies to everybody waiting for developments on my other nodes, but have not much time and this one was just to much fun creating it ...
There was a nice proposal from @Steve-Mcl last week (see discussion) to have an inline clickable message switch. Had been playing with a similar idea some time ago, but had no idea to implement it at the time being.
So I implemented now the node-red-contrib-msg-toggle which allows me to easily test some of my other new developments. It is a simple checkbox that you can use to turn on/off message passing through at runtime (so no deploy required):
If you want to test it, you can install it directly from my Github repository:
npm install bartbutenaers/node-red-contrib-msg-toggle
As usual all 'constructive' feeback is very welcome! I assume some people won't like this node, but I would appreciate not having discussions here about 'why' I implemented this node. I am aware that the flow editor isn't a dashboard, I am aware that this can be implemented with a combination of other nodes, I am aware that Node-RED APIs might change in the future, ... Would be nice to have feedback on how I could improve my node further.
P.S. The thing I don't like about my implementation, is the fact that I had to use a DOM observer 
Not a good solution, but I needed to have a reference to the DOM element, as soon as the node had been added to the flow editor (to be able to add my checkbox to it). However in the nodes:add the node hasn't been added to the SVG already, and I have no nodes:added event aferwards. If anybody has a better solution, please give me the golden tip!
Have fun with it !!
Bart
