node-red-contrib-simple-bu v1.3.0

node-red-contrib-simple-bu

A Node-RED node designed to simplify the data processing.

Description

The simple-bu node assists in efficiently handling data. It processes input payloads, structures them in the desired format, and sends them to a specified endpoint. In cases where the internet connection is absent, the node saves the data locally, ensuring no data loss during intermittent connectivity issues.

Installation

To install the node, you can either download it from the Node-RED library or use the following npm command:

npm install node-red-contrib-simple-bu

Features

• Reliable Data Transmission: Ensures data reaches its destination by reattempting to send it during network failures.
• Local Data Backup: When there's no internet connection, data is saved locally to avoid data loss.
• Simple Configuration: User-friendly interface to configure the node within Node-RED.

Usage

1. Drag and drop the simple-bu node into your Node-RED flow.
2. Double-click the node to configure the endpoint URL, SN, and Type.
3. Connect the node to receive payload data.
4. On successful transmission to the endpoint, the node forwards the received message.
5. In case of failure, the data is saved locally, and an error message is emitted.

Dependencies

• axios: Used for making HTTP requests.
• fs-extra: Additional file system operations to simplify tasks like directory creation.
