Representing and interacting with Erlang processes from Erlang-Red
Erlang-Red - Erlang Processes Node Package
WARNING: These nodes have no usage with Node-RED, they will only work with Erlang-Red.
Node packages represents existing Erlang processes as nodes that can be sent messages.
See the Erlang-Red project for more details.
Why?
Because Erlang has first-class lightweight processes that can receive messages, representing these existing Erlang processes as nodes makes total sense.
The process node represents these existing Erlang process and thus existing Erlang processes can be embedded into Erlang-Red flows. When a process node receives a message, it forwards that message to the existing process.
Thus a two way communication between existing Erlang code and Erlang-Red can be established and messages replies are fed back into the Erlang-Red flow as output messages of the corresponding process node.
Artefacts for these nodes
- NPMjs Package
- Node-RED node package
- GitHub Repo
- Node-RED flow that maintains this codebase.
