Using

Nodes

There are three types of nodes

• a config node;
• Vortex In an input node; and
• Vortex Out an output node.

Vortex In

PrismTech Vortex input node. Outputs an object called msg containing msg.payload which is a JSON object.

Vortex Out

PrismTech Vortex output node. Input is an object called msg containing msg.payload which is a JSON object to be written to Vortex.

Example using Vortex data in a Function node

// Get the latitude and longitude from the Vortex data
var lat1 = msg.payload.d.lat;
var lon1 = msg.payload.d.lng;
// Big Ben in the UK
var lat2 = 51.5007733;
var lon2 = -0.1246402;
var radlat1 = Math.PI * lat1/180
var radlat2 = Math.PI * lat2/180
var radlon1 = Math.PI * lon1/180
var radlon2 = Math.PI * lon2/180
var theta = lon1-lon2
var radtheta = Math.PI * theta/180
var dist = Math.sin(radlat1) * Math.sin(radlat2) + Math.cos(radlat1) * Math.cos(radlat2) * Math.cos(radtheta);
dist = Math.acos(dist)
dist = dist * 180/Math.PI
dist = dist * 60 * 1.1515

var newMsg = { "payload": {"dist": dist }};
node.send(newMsg);
