node-red-node-loader

Help loading node for Node Test Helper

Install

$ npm i node-red-node-loader

Usage

const nodeArr = new NodeLoader().getNodeArray(fileString)
const nodeArr = new NodeLoader().getNodeArray(fileString,excludeList)
const nodeArr = new NodeLoader().getNodeArrayFromFlow(flowData,excludeList)
//excludeList is optional

Example

import {NodeLoader} from 'node-red-node-loader'
import helper from 'node-red-node-test-helper'
import {NodeRedTestServer} from 'node-red-test-helper-tool'
import fs from 'fs/promises'
helper.init(require.resolve('node-red'))
