Optimize Toolset

I’ve always been into building performant and accessible sites, but lately I’ve been taking it extremely seriously. So much so that I’ve been building a tool to help me optimize and monitor the sites that I build to make sure that I’m making an attempt to offer the best experience to those who visit them. If you’re into performant, accessible and SEO friendly sites, you might like it too! You can check it out at Optimize Toolset.

About

Hi, 👋, I’m Ryan Hefner  and I built this site for me, and you! The goal of this site was to provide an easy way for me to check the stats on my npm packages, both for prioritizing issues and updates, and to give me a little kick in the pants to keep up on stuff.

As I was building it, I realized that I was actually using the tool to build the tool, and figured I might as well put this out there and hopefully others will find it to be a fast and useful way to search and browse npm packages as I have.

If you’re interested in other things I’m working on, follow me on Twitter or check out the open source projects I’ve been publishing on GitHub.

I am also working on a Twitter bot for this site to tweet the most popular, newest, random packages from npm. Please follow that account now and it will start sending out packages soon–ish.

Open Software & Tools

This site wouldn’t be possible without the immense generosity and tireless efforts from the people who make contributions to the world and share their work via open source initiatives. Thank you 🙏

Node-RED Custom Context Nodes

These are nodes for setting and getting context variables in Node-RED.

Description

This Node-RED module provides two custom nodes:

  • context-set: Sets context variables for global, flow, or node scope.
  • context-get: Retrieves context variables from global, flow, or node scope.

Node-RED's context data feature allows you to store information within your flows, making it accessible across different nodes. These custom nodes simplify the process of interacting with context variables, enabling you to manage and utilize them effectively.

Why Use These Nodes?

  1. Simplify Context Management: Instead of writing JavaScript code to set and get context variables, you can use these nodes, which offer a user-friendly interface within the Node-RED editor.

  2. Reduce Development Time: These nodes abstract away the complexities of handling context data, allowing you to focus on building your flows without worrying about low-level implementation details.

  3. Promote Reusability: By encapsulating context-related functionality into dedicated nodes, you can easily reuse them across multiple flows, promoting modularity and maintainability.

Installation

To install these nodes, you can use the Node-RED Palette Manager or manually install them:

  1. Open your Node-RED instance.
  2. Click on the menu icon in the top right corner and select "Manage palette".
  3. Go to the "Install" tab and search for "node-red-contrib-context-nodes".
  4. Click "Install".

Alternatively, you can install them manually by running the following command in your Node-RED user directory (typically ~/.node-red):

npm install node-red-contrib-context-nodes

Usage

context-set Node

This node sets a context variable based on the specified scope (global, flow, or node).

Configuration

  • Variable: Name of the context variable.
  • Value: Value to be assigned to the context variable.
  • Scope: Scope of the context variable (global, flow, or node).

context-get Node

This node retrieves the value of a context variable based on the specified scope (global, flow, or node).

Configuration
