## Proposition

## Proposition
|
||||||
We propose the addition of a checkbox named `Load from external file` just above the code field. Checking this checkbox would make a field appear where the user can type the path to a file, similar to the `file-in` node. Given the fact some cloud environment are not compatible with a traditional file system, a setting named `allowExternalFiles` could be added in `settings.js` to disable this feature entirely.

In that mode, the code editor could show the code but in greyed out mode, similar to how the Arduino IDE works when using external files.

This brings one problem, what happens when someone exports a flow ? We propose the addition of a checkbox in the flow export dialog named `Embed external files` that would embed the external file contents within the exported flow making sharing of that flow possible.
