So ... finally here you are.
- the data structure is defined by the topics: nameInStore.object[s].property seperated by dots.
-
nameInStore will be used as
global.get("nameInStore","file")You have to edit this in ALL function nodes if you have a different store provider. -
object[s] the object in witch the
list[]should be stored -
property name of the property or keyword to trigger a function (
uiDropdown, uiAdd, uiDelete). The propertynamemust be provided to store the name of a configuration.
- make sure that
is unchecked for ALL ui_Nodes EXCEPT the dropdown list - all ui_Nodes must provide the topic described above. You can use the most resend ui_List , this should have the possibility to enter a topic.
- edit the addNew function node and add your default values
- edit the switch node to match your topics in the ui_Nodes
- all single msg.payload input / output can be wired directly between the switch node and the save Data function node
- for other nodes you have to add special nodes like the save List function node in the second example
- last but not least enter the initial topic in the inject node
And this is the result in your store:
