Can somebody please explain how can a third party plugin library like for instance Chart.js be locally installed into node-red? If I download Chart.js from github I get actually a Chart.js-master root directory with a lot of subdirectories and files. Do I have to copy everything into the node-red in…

Hi @knolleary , i was trying to create a flow with the node able to get notification on changes using SSE technology. I created a function node and added the script var source = new EventSource("http://localhost:8080/api/2/things?ids=smart:factory_lwb"); source.onmessage = function(msg) { console.lo…

Hi @Miliks installing a node module does not make it automatically available to the Function node. The docs show the additional steps you have to do through: https://nodered.org/docs/writing-functions#loading-additional-modules Nick

Thank you very much for your response, it was really helpful!

You have to use node.send() inside the callback to get the values...

Could you please explain what do u mean?

Maybe you could search for "node.send" on the same page Nick gave you? Or maybe "callback"? A little activity (like reading the basic docs or using search and / or google) before, would help us all :slight_smile:

Note though that there will only ever be one entry in the array if you do it like that. If you want to build a comple…

Thanks for the suggestion, i didn't know about this specific node. I tryed it out, but i'm getting the 401 error during deployment phase. The URL i'm trying to get notification about is password protected, so i added the header to the form as on image attached. Do i miss something or there some pro…

You say it works using REST client, then I suggest doing a test where you configure the authentication in the msg headers. The doc for the node says: When the Http headers are not specified in the config screen, they can be specified in the msg.headers field. If it fails then you may try to t…
