n8n-nodes-starter

This repo contains example nodes to help you get started building your own custom integrations for n8n. It includes the node linter and other dependencies.

To make your custom node available to the community, you must create it as an npm package, and submit it to the npm registry.

Prerequisites

You need the following installed on your development machine:

• git
• Node.js and pnpm. Minimum version Node 18. You can find instructions on how to install both using nvm (Node Version Manager) for Linux, Mac, and WSL here. For Windows users, refer to Microsoft's guide to Install NodeJS on Windows.
• Install n8n with:

  pnpm install n8n -g

• Recommended: follow n8n's guide to set up your development environment.
