The first version of Node Maker is ready. Node Maker is a set of subflow nodes that can be used to quickly create a new Node-RED node, the property panel, and the node's behavior. You can use Node Maker to easily create an initial template or the entire work necessary for creating a Node-RED node.

I slammed this together over the weekend because I've got a bunch of nodes to make. The subflows themselves are a bit messy, but it produces clean code. You can learn more at:

Hi There!

A bit late to the party but I just discovered node-maker the other day. I find a great idea and had the same idea with my [nodedev](https://flows.nodered.org/node/@gregoriusrippenstein/node-red-contrib-nodedev) project. I did not focus on UI rather on creating the package structure (i.e. templates for config nodes, templates for locale files, etc) so node-maker fits well with what I've done 😉

I used node-maker to create a [tab](https://flowhub.org/f/2c6bf243745407b7) UI and an [editor](https://flowhub.org/f/e4ec4a4c862fd1a8) UI, both worked really well - great stuff 👍

I have also taken the liberty of copying the node-maker flow to [flowhub.org](https://flowhub.org/f/fa039591fddc0902) where I collect together various flows I play around with - I hope that's ok!

Cheers!
