Hi all,

Just keeping you updated on progress. The final tweaks are going into the new release and it should get released very soon. Here are the current highlights.

  • NEW NODE uib-sidebar - Creates a simple sidebar in the Node-RED Editor page. HTML for the sidebar is edited in the node. Messages sent to the node are passed to the sidebar letting you change any attributes and inner HTML or text dynamically. Any input elements in the HTML automatically send changes back to the output of the node. A new example flow is available that demonstrates useage.

  • Updated applyTemplate function in the ui/uibuilder client libraries, gives a lot more flexibility.

  • Input form improvements.

    • uib-element's form type now adds an HTML ID to the form itself in the format form-<element-id>. This means that using a button inside a form, the resulting message will identify the form that the button belongs to. This is particularly useful if you have multiple forms on a page.
    • When using the eventSend function (which is also used by uib-element), file input types now add more meta-data to the returned file-upload message. Making it easier to process the file upload and combine with other data from a form.

  • Bug fixes

    • uibuilder no longer overrides Node-RED's built-in ExpressJS server settings in regards to JSON upload sizing. Ref.
