Node to save properties?

General

Hi,

@knolleary

Is there a way to save properties on node-red. Currently we are using a CSV file that is present on the server and needs to be checked in every time we need to make any changes. I was wondering whether any node can be used for this where we can use a node to save different properties that can be pulled by any flows later.

Hi @faisalchishti

you don't need to tag me specifically - there's an entirely community of user's here who can help.

You can use Context to store values that are available to your nodes. Since 0.19 we've had the option to save context values in file-based storage - https://nodered.org/docs/user-guide/context

Does the CSV file already exist or are you making it just in order for node-red to use it?
