I wanted a simple copy paste interface that will allow me to convert selected v1 components to the new dashboard 2.0 components.  
So i created this, It was very easy and quick to build, it uses the official v2 convertor repository.

To run it:  
pick one of the download options and install it.

> **[Release First release · amitbet/nodered-ui2-paste-conv](https://github.com/amitbet/nodered-ui2-paste-conv/releases/tag/v1.0.0)**
>
> code to run with nodejs (has a helpful run.sh script):
> nodered-dashboard-converter-v1.0.0.zip
> windows:
> Node-RED Dashboard Converter 1.0.0.exe
> mac apple silicone:
> Node-RED Dashboard Converter-1.0.0-...

**OR** (if rightfully suspicious about installers):

1. download the converter code (pick: nodered-dashboard-converter-v1.0.0.zip)
2. extract to some dir
3. run the **./run.sh** (or run.bat if on windows)

to convert:

1. in your canvas click several old v1 ui components
2. right click and select export
3. click on "copy to clipboard"
4. open **the convertor app** or [http://localhost:3000](http://localhost:3000)
5. paste it into the Input box
6. copy the converted output
7. right click on the canvas, click insert, import
8. paste the converted text from clipboard

Tell me if it helped
