Logging and Error Handling

To log any information, or report an error, the following functions are available:

node.log("Log")
node.warn("Warning")
node.error("Error")

The Catch node can also be used to handle errors. To invoke a Catch node, pass msg as a second argument to node.error:

node.error("Error",msg)

Sending messages The function can either return the messages it wants to pass on to the next nodes in the flow, or can call node.send(messages).

It can return/send:

a single message object - passed to nodes connected to the first output an array of message objects - passed to nodes connected to the corresponding outputs If any element of the array is itself an array of messages, multiple messages are sent to the corresponding output.

If null is returned, either by itself or as an element of the array, no message is passed on.

See the online documentation for more help. You can manage your palette of nodes with ctrl-⇧p

Outputs:

msg.error When the object is unexpected or cannot find element, this node generates the error with detail information
msg.element If the element is found, it will be passed though the msg object to the next node.
