Hello all,
I want to build an Node.js based app and create a UI which has drag&drop ability just like node-red but with simplicity usage. I want to take design of flow from custom app and manage to node-red flow & nodes according to that.
App flow is like this :
Custom UI -\> Nod-Red -\> Node-Red Dashboard
Instead of creating flow & logic first I want to create look of dashboard first & want to connect nodes according to that and make an easy use for non-tech people.
I am searching for every possible topic & page but couldn't succeed I tried [API Reference : Node-RED](https://nodered.org/docs/api/) with HTTP & Module based APIs but there is no examples for thats too and I am too confused to select to way follow.
I am very new to node-red and just try to determine the way follow for this kind of project.
Thanks !
