Tip: Use 'example_workflows' instead of 'examples' to have the examples show up in ComfyUI automatically

[ImagineerNL]

Just a tip; As per the ComfyUI Template documentation:

If you have example workflow files associated with your custom nodes then ComfyUI can show these to the user in the template browser (Workflow/Browse Templates menu). Workflow templates are a great way to support people getting started with your nodes.

All you have to do as a node developer is to create an example_workflows folder and place the json files there. Optionally you can place jpg files with the same name to be shown as the template thumbnail.

Under the hood ComfyUI statically serves these files along with an endpoint (/api/workflow_templates) that returns the collection of workflow templates.
​
Example

Under ComfyUI-MyCustomNodeModule/example_workflows/ directory:

My_example_workflow_1.json
My_example_workflow_1.jpg
My_example_workflow_2.json

In this example ComfyUI’s template browser shows a category called ComfyUI-MyCustomNodeModule with two items, one of which has a thumbnail.

Hey, @ImagineerNL - thanks for pointing out that my workflows weren't showing up.

As it turns out, Comfy still collects example workflows from my directory name (even though it was non-standard), but I foolishly had put what felt like too many examples in subdirectories for better organization. Or so I thought! Poof!

I will take a little time, rearchitect my workflow names and pull them out of their subdirectories and get my example directory to spec here as a little side project.

I'll close this when I push out that update.

Cheers!

Thanks again, @ImagineerNL for sharing the shortcomings you noticed of my current documentation/example workflow scheme. I am confident the changes you inspired will make ComfyUI-MultiGPU more accessible to Comfy users.

Cheers!
