Safest option is to reject the removal. - removing a node, without also removing the files, will mean it returns to the palette on the next restart. That would be unexpected. +--- -## On the packaging of nodes - -### node ### -A **node** is defined in an html file and a js file. The js file will include a call to the runtime's version of `RED.nodes.registerType`. The html file will contain the template and help script blocks, along with a call to the editor's version of `RED.nodes.registerType`. - -### node set ### -A js/html file pair may contain multiple **nodes**. This is called a **node set**. Any error loading the js/html files will cause all **nodes** in a **node set** to be unavailable. - -### node module ### -An npm **node module** may contain multiple js/html file pairs - each identified in the `package.json` file. Hence, an npm module may contain multiple **node sets**, each containing 1 or more **nodes**. - -### node pack ### -A `node pack` is a collection of similarly-themed nodes that a user might want to install together. It is structurally the same as a node module, but acts as a meta-package that pulls in multiple specific **node modules** using the standard package dependency mechanism. +See [[Definitions]] for a description of node/node set/nide module/node pack. ### Add/Remove vs Enable/Disable The Add/Remove api is for getting new nodes installed into the runtime as well as removing them. It operates at either the js/html level, or the node module level.
