Hi all.  
I am new to Node-Red.

I just installed a custom node.  
([node-red-contrib-rate (node) - Node-RED](https://flows.nodered.org/node/node-red-contrib-rate))

For learning purposes, it would be great to see the javscript that drives the node functionality.  
Is there any way to do this with custom nodes?

There is usually (but not always) a link to the source code in the flows page...

Alternatively you can look in `~/.node-red/node_modules/node-red-contrib-rate`
