Hi Guys, I'm looking for a node with an editable table that can be write, like the node-red-contrib-ui-etable but with the option to get data from the table. What I need to do is to compile a table and save data (i.e. in json) and recall saved data to fill the table.... edit them and so on. Any i…

AFAIK, the table nodes are primarily for display. However, you can then add code to handle updates though it is rarely simple. But, you have the data in a variable in Node-RED so getting the data back into a flow is trivial. Just ask for it :slight_smile: The tricky part is coding up your Dashboar…

I'm not sure that you've quite got your head around why something like Angular (for Dashboard) or Vue/REACT/etc (for uibuilder) are being used. With those frameworks you get the ability to only need to write templates. That means that you can template the table (it doesn't matter how many rows ther…

It's an interesting solution but I'm not a programmer. I understand partially what do you mean but I've not idea how to do it. I was looking for a ready solution. If not available in Node Red, I'll do it in a different environment. Up to now Node Red helped me to do a lot of complex tasks in a very…

I think that the idea behind the ui table component was to try and make this kind of thing easier but you are right, you do still need some level of programming knowledge to do editing in tables I think. There are browser-based libraries that let you use tables more like a spreadsheet but this is c…

Hi, I'll ask: how many rows of data do you want to store? How frequently do you want to change them? Perhaps overkill but a SQL ish type node (MySQL or SQLite) offers some advantages... Cheers, Paul

Not more than 150 rows. I'm working on a tool to write registers on I2C bus to configure the component. It will be very fast to have a table, change parameters, delete some of them, add anothers... and then click send. If the configuration is fine, SAVE it, if not, LOAD a previous set of data.

Are you running Node-RED on your local PC? You might find it easier to do this in a spreadsheet app saving as a CSV file? Then use Node-RED to read the file and do the config.

Hi, To further expand on TotallyInformation (and I agree with the strategy) perhaps use node-red-contrib-spreadsheet-in (node) - Node-RED . This is a set of nodes that reads / writes CSV data. Treat it as a small DB - load it ALL into the screen object, make updates there, and write it ALL back to…
