Transcript

In this demo, we're gonna work with the Node-RED Getting Started tutorials. The first thing we're gonna work with is the first flow, then we're gonna work with the second flow. These are pretty straightforward tutorials, but it'll show you the functionality of how the actual tool works altogether.

As you can see here, these are all different steps you're gonna work with to build your solution. In our first flow, we're just gonna put together a really simple flow diagram with a debugger in it, and a function. So we're gonna drop an input, and then a debugger, and we're gonna wire them together and then we're gonna deploy it. That's the first step of the tutorial. Great, it worked out. Now we'll slide it over.

Now we're gonna add a function, and we're gonna copy and paste the code from the actual tutorial. Click Okay. Now let's deploy it. Great. Now we're gonna click on the input, and that's gonna generate some information in the debugger, and that's how we'll know it was successful. Okay, so now we're gonna work on the second flow that's provided in the Getting Started with Node-RED. Here we're gonna add a little more complexity to it.

These tutorials are really good to really just get you started with how it all kind of works together, with the different wiring diagrams. It'll get much more complex. Great, so there's our code for our function. Now we're gonna add two debuggers in there, since we have two outputs. And now we're gonna wire everything together. Now we're clicking the input, Everything's come out successful as we deploy it, great. Well, that wraps up our demo. They're some really simple tutorials, but they'll give you an idea of how Node-RED works and I definitely recommend going to the documentation and reading up on it.
