A visual tool for wiring the Internet of Things.

Documentation

Browser Support

The Node-RED editor runs in the browser. We routinely develop and test using Chrome and Firefox. We have anecdotal evidence that it works in IE9.

We do not yet support mobile browsers, although that is high on our priority list.

Reporting issues

Please raise any bug reports or feature requests on the project's issue tracker. Be sure to search the list to see if your issue has already been raised.

Creating new nodes

The plugin nature of Node-RED means anyone can create a new node to extend its capabilities.

We want to avoid duplication as that can lead to confusion. Many of our existing nodes offer a starting point of functionality. If they are missing features, we would rather extend them than add separate 'advanced' versions. But the key to that approach is getting the UX right to not lose the simplicity.

We are also going to be quite selective over what nodes are included in the main repository - enough to be useful, but not so many that new user is overwhelmed.

To contribute a new node, please raise a pull-request against the node-red-nodes repository.

Eventually, the nodes will be npm-installable, but we're not there yet. We'll also have some sort of registry of nodes to help with discoverability.

Pull-Requests

In order for us to accept pull-requests, the contributor must first complete a Contributor License Agreement (CLA). This clarifies the intellectual property license granted with any contribution. It is for your protection as a Contributor as well as the protection of IBM and its customers; it does not change your rights to use your own Contributions for any other purpose.

Once you have created a pull-request, we'll provide a link to the appropriate CLA document.

If you are an IBMer, please contact us directly as the contribution process is slightly different.

Authors

Node-RED is a creation of the IBM Emerging Technology Services team.
