Is there a way to have a set of functions loaded into a global or flow space that i can use in multiple function nodes? I use function nodes alot to do formatting and other such things and depending on the flow I will have a single function in each of these nodes written out 5 - 10+ times. Is there…

I found the solution around the time you guys were posting. I put a function node in at the start of my flow with the following text in it and it works perfectly. To call the functions I need the following in every node I want to use my fuctions in. var Func = flow.get('Func'); To call the functi…

You can add an utility object full of functions to global context*. Or you can add them in settings.js. *Is your global context memory or file backed? other options... put your function in a subflow then just re-use the subflow use a subroutine-like node (e.g. node-red-contrib-components ) Upda…

This is what I use a lot: Importing function from another node - #6 by kuema [image] Steve-Mcl: use a subroutine-like node (e.g. node-red-contrib-components ) Nice, I think I missed that one, thanks. :nerd_face:

Just note that this method only works with the default in-memory context store, if you ever change default stores, it will fail. There is also no guarantee that even the in-memory store will work this way in the future. The reason is that you cannot easily serialise a JavaScript function. The in-mem…

[image] ozdeadmeat: What is the default in memory context store and why would I need to change it? The default is the standard store used by Node-RED if you don't change any settings. Node-RED also has a file-based store that persists your context variables to file so that restarting Node-RED…
