Node-RED Node TypeScript Starter
This is a quick-start template repository for creating new Node-RED node sets in TypeScript.
Project Structure
node-red-node-typescript-starter/
├──src/ * source files of the node set
│ ├──__tests__/ * tests for the node set (test file names should match *.test.ts glob pattern)
│ │ └──transform-text.test.ts * tests for the transform-text node
│ │
│ └──nodes/ * node set folder, where subfolder names = node types
│ ├──shared/ * folder for .ts files shared across multiple nodes in the node set
│ │
│ └──transform-text/ * source files of the transform-text node
│ ├──icons/ * custom icons used by the node set in the editor
│ │
│ ├──modules/ * .ts modules for the runtime side (transform-text.js file) of the node
│ │
│ ├──shared/ * folder for .ts files shared between the runtime side (.js file) and the editor side (.html file) of the node
│ │
│ ├──transform-text.html/ * files for compiling and bundling into the editor side (transform-text.html file) of the node
│ │ ├──modules/ * .ts modules
│ │ ├──editor.html * html template for the edit dialog
│ │ ├──help.html * html template for the help in the info tab
│ │ └──index.ts * entry file
│ │
| └──transform-text.ts * entry file for the runtime side (transform-text.js file) of the node
|
├──package.json * dependencies and node types for the Node-RED runtime to load
|
├──rollup.config.editor.json * rollup config for building the editor side of the nodes
|
├──tsconfig.json * base typescript config, for the code editor
├──tsconfig.runtime.json * config for creating a production build of the runtime side of the nodes
└──tsconfig.runtime.watch.json * config for watching and incremental building the runtime side of the nodes
Getting Started
- Generate a new GitHub repository by clicking the
Use this template
button at the top of the repository homepage, then clone your new repo. Or you might just clone this repo:git clone https://github.com/alexk111/node-red-node-typescript-starter.git
and cd into it:cd node-red-node-typescript-starter
. - This project is designed to work with
yarn
. If you don't haveyarn
installed, you can install it withnpm install -g yarn
. - Install dependencies:
yarn install
.
Adding Nodes
You can quickly scaffold a new node and add it to the node set. Use the following command to create my-new-node-type
node:
yarn add-node my-new-node-type
The node generator is based on mustache templates. At the moment there are three templates available:
blank
(used by default) - basic node for Node-RED >=1.0blank-0
- node with a backward compatibility for running on Node-RED <1.0config
- configuration node
To generate a node using a template, specify it as the third argument:
yarn add-node my-new-node-type blank
or
yarn add-node my-new-node-config config
Adding Node Templates
If you want to make your own template available, add it to ./utils/templates/
.
Developing Nodes
Build & Test in Watch mode:
yarn dev
Building Node Set
Create a production build:
yarn build
