Send a message from a custom function node without output option

Feedback:

Modifying outputs in the html file is the correct way, and of course to address the outputs in the JS file where necessary.

self.send([msg,undefined]) /* 1st output only */
self.send([undefined,msg]) /* 2nd output only */

I think in this case, defining a new msg is not harmful

var msg  = {};

But normally, you should append to/modify the incoming msg, not destroy it entirely - but as said, there is no originating msg for this.

PR your changes back to the original project - as others may find it useful, or if it's no longer maintained, fork it and create a derived alternative for download.

EDIT
Also to label the outputs (I often forget about that until the end)

outputs 2,
outputLabels: ['Sheldon', 'Cooper']
