Usage
Operations:
- Read From Database
- Write To Database
Common Parameters:
- Query Path (optional): The path on which to act on in the JSON tree. Supports the standard JavaScript dot-and-bracket property access notation. Leaving the field empty will make the node act on the root of the JSON tree.
- File Path (optional): The system path to the JSON file in which to read/write the data. Leaving the field empty, if everything goes well, will make the node use the default global database (which should be located in
~/.n8n/JsonDatabase.Global.json
).
Write-specific parameters:
- Data Source (required): only one of the following options:
- Source Object Key (required): An object key from the current input context (as set by immediately preceding nodes) to read data from. For example, the name of a property specified via a Set node, placed immediately before the JSON Database node.
- Source JSON String (optional): Any JSON string that can be parsed and evaluated as an object in JavaScript. Leaving the field empty will interally force the value to be considered
undefined
, and will thus simply delete the destination branch in the JSON tree.
