Edit nodes by API Methods, help me!

General

hi
I need some help
I want to edit the nodes remotely
or modification ( update ) to its properties
All this via front-end
I did some research and found this
https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/methods/
ok so
my Question is this possible ?
If yes, so how to edit that and save it
For example, I want to change the name of the inject node to demo
And activate some options for example
active debug window
change Output to complete msg Object

I know you may be wondering why this is all
Because I simply want to amend some nodes via a web application (remotely without use node-red editor)
For example, modifying the serial port of the mobuse node remotely via web app (front-end) and user not login in the node-red .for edit its

Could some help please how to edit that and save folws via API Methods

I Get an individual flow configuration for First TAB (FLOW 2)
i need change vt from date to string

msg.payload.nodes[0].props[0].vt

image_2021-03-11_133803
image_2021-03-11_1338031366×768 101 KB

and see that

Posting to /flows replaces the entire flow configuration.

If you want to add an flow, you need to PUT to /flow
If you want to update an individual flow, you need to POST to /flow/<flow-id>

The format of the flow object is different between the /flows api and the /flow api - whic is probably the cause of the error you are hitting.

If you do a GET of /flow/<existing-flow-id> you’ll see the format required by the /flow api.

If you want to update an individual flow, you need to POST to /flow/

but in this link
https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/methods/

I cant see

POST/flow/:id
I see only
POST /flow, POST /flows

POST /flow: Add a flow to the active configuration

{
  "id": "91ad451.f6e52b8",
  "label": "Sheet 1",
  "nodes": [ ],
  "configs": [ ]
}

https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/methods/post/flow/

POST /flows : Set the active flow configuration.

[
  {
    "type": "tab",
    "id": "396c2376.c693dc",
    "label": "Sheet 1"
  }
]

https://nodered.org/docs/api/admin/methods/post/flows/

so normay work with POST /flow but
how to set "nodes": [ ], "configs": [ ]
how to filling this array (nodes and configs)

ok I updated with
PUT /flow/:id

now my issus I cant Load config or change it

Untitled
Untitled1366×768 109 KB

so id for configs node its stored in storageNode

storageNode: "7d21e8fc.4809e8"

Untitled
Untitled1004×438 17.5 KB

so I see 3 types Flows, Subflows, Global Configuration Nodes and config not found in flows but Global Configuration Nodes
so in this link you can load and set same keys into config via API method :

https://nodered.org/docs/api/context/methods/

now how to used to GET config node and change it with API method !??
Ity with

ContextStore.get(persist-store, filename)
but error

"ReferenceError: ContextStore is not defined (line 1, col 15)"

According to what I searched on the forum
There is no solution
I don't know if there is a plan in the future to add this option into HTTP Admin API Method
But I found a temporary solution
It is the modification of env variables in the runtime
so any Update or new env VAR created to setting.js and restart node-red dynamicaly to load the,new setting file

Hi @d0d04m3

was the pull-request you raised earlier this week actually intended to be a feature request? If so, that isn't what pull-requests are and we should close it.

To answer your previous questions, it depends which api you are using.

You can use /flows to get the complete flow configuration, edit the nodes you want to update, and then POST back to /flows.

The /flow end-point lets you work with individual flows (ie tabs). The JSON format is slightly different to the /flows end-point, but if you do a get of /flow/<a-flow-id> you'll see what it looks like.

The piece of information I think you're missing is that if your Configuration node is a global node (ie, its available on all tabs), then it will be on the global flow - which you can access via /flow/global.

The whole /flow end point needs updating to be more usable. For example, there's no easy way to update individual subflows - they all appear on the global flow as well.
