node-red-contrib-function-npm 0.4.3
A function node for Node-RED with npm load capabilities
node-red-contrib-function-npm
Node red function node with capability to install and use packages from npm
Compatability
node-red version > 1.0
Install
From your node-red directory
npm install node-red-contrib-function-npm
Usage
The function-npm node behaves like a normal function node, with the exception of allowing the use of npm modules within the script inside the block. It scans the script for any require statements and downloads the modules specified in the require statements. The module is automatically cleaned from the disk when the node-red process closes.
//syntax to install a specific version
var lowerCase = require('[email protected]')
//if no version specified the latest version is installed
var uc = require('upper-case');
msg.payload = {
upper: uc.upperCase('Hello World'),
lower: lowerCase('Hello World')
} ;
return msg;
