Hello Node-Red community,

Can anyone tell me if it's possible to access the variable `node.name` in a template node as we would do in a function node?

Thanks in advance.

I presume you mean a ui-template node.

Not according to [https://discourse.nodered.org/t/referencing-node-name-from-nodes-other-than-function/17469](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/referencing-node-name-from-nodes-other-than-function/17469)

Maybe something has changed since Nick wrote his answer to that post but I doubt it.

The Javascript in ui-template is running in the browser, not node-red. So node would not be available to the ui-template code.
