Editable table (CRUD) using flow context as a database

About

This flow uses the html template and js-grid to display, create, remove, update and delete data rows.

No database is required - it utilises flow context only.

If you want to persist the data, you can enable file storage for context (see the node-red docs)

Instructions

Import the flow & deploy it
Open a new tab on your browser at the address http://<node-red>:<port>/index.
- e.g. http://localhost:1880/index
