Node variables

variables generated by nodes

Node variables are data elements that are accessible and applicable only within a specific flow. These variables serve to temporarily store information, facilitate calculations, or control the flow of execution within the scope of a particular node. Unlike flow local variables, which are accessible across the entire flow, node variables have a limited scope and are typically used to store intermediate results or contextual information relevant to a specific node's operation. They help in managing data efficiently and maintaining the integrity of the flow by encapsulating data within the appropriate context, thereby enhancing readability, modularity, and maintainability of the flow design.

Example:

selectBooks database query executor node returns a new node variable. This variable is not available for Assign1 node but available for Assign2 node.

Node variable type depends on node type. Check nodes specification for more details.
