I am trying to enumerate config nodes of a certain type within node configuration HTML.

The following call works for UI nodes:

```auto
RED.nodes.filterNodes({type:'my-type'})

```

But it doesn't work for any config nodes (the return is empty).

What is the proper way to enumerate config nodes?

Thanks

You can use `RED.nodes.eachConfig` to iterate through the config nodes:

```auto
RED.nodes.eachConfig(configNode => {

})

```
