Hello All,  
I am experimenting custom theme for Node-Red editor.  
I am also referring:

> **[GitHub - flowforge/flowforge-nr-theme: A custom Node-RED theme used when...](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-theme)**
>
> A custom Node-RED theme used when running inside the FlowForge platform - GitHub - flowforge/flowforge-nr-theme: A custom Node-RED theme used when running inside the FlowForge platform

**I have one query:**  
How to send/share node data (like json data) to my custom theme component and vice-versa.

Thanks in advance.

Can you clarify what that means?

What node? What data?

At server side? at client side?

Hello @Steve-Mcl,

How to send/share node data (like json data) to my custom theme component and vice-versa

- I have basic custom node ..  
After deploy/trigger I am having some result json in node..  
Now, this result json I want to access it from my custom editor theme component (js) file.

Currently I am using same theme code for my experiment:

> **[GitHub - flowforge/flowforge-nr-theme: A custom Node-RED theme used when...](https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-theme)**
>
> A custom Node-RED theme used when running inside the FlowForge platform - GitHub - flowforge/flowforge-nr-theme: A custom Node-RED theme used when running inside the FlowForge platform

and this is the file where I want to access that result json which is created by my custom node:

> <https://github.com/flowforge/flowforge-nr-theme/blob/main/common/forge-common.js>

You will probably need to create a node-red plug-in to capture the "deploy" event. From there, you could store this "data" (whatever that is) in memory or file, ready for the client side request for it.

To access this "data", you can request it (via http/AJAX) from client side to node-red. Here is an example: [Async getting list for node config - #4 by Steve-Mcl](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/async-getting-list-for-node-config/57506/4)  
This endpoint would typically be created in your plug-in.
