The Node-RED OpenDXL contribution package includes JSON documents with sample Node-RED flows. To import samples into Node-RED, perform the following steps:
In the upper-right corner of the Node-RED UI, press the side menu button.
Select one of examples under
Import → Examples → dxlin the menu drop-down list.
In order for the sample flows to execute properly, Node-RED must be able to connect to a DXL fabric. For more information on connecting to a DXL fabric from Node-RED, see the Client Configuration section.
See the following sections for an overview of each sample.
Basic Config (basic-config-example)
This sample includes a DXL client configuration node with no additional flow elements. This can be loaded in order to configure the connection parameters for the DXL client before any flow-based examples which use the configuration have been loaded. For more information, see the Client Configuration section.
Basic Event (basic-event-example)
This sample demonstrates how to send and receive Event messages from the DXL
fabric from Node-RED.
Basic Service (basic-service-example)
This sample demonstrates how to register a DXL service to receive Request
messages and send back Response messages from Node-RED.
