Nested loops

Hello,

I'm trying to use the array-loop imbricated, like a loop, in a loop.
Do you confirm it does not work ?
Thanks for your feedback.

Unable to feed a msg property with "dot notations" to the node

I have a property named "a.b.c" in my msg object.

In the javascript world we can typically access it by doing this msg["a.b.c"]. However the node's UI is not allowing me to do so.

Not a show stopper but will be nie if we can handle such cases.

While loop multiple true?

Hi,
i got a issue using a while loop - may i´m just misunderstanding sth.
I start the loop daily a 3pm by an inject.
While loop is checking a global variable "brightness". When brightness is under 600 while loop is true and exits.
However i notice, that the command is sent multiple times.

For example the loop has just exited and the command was sent, but there is still a waiting "delay" which will send it again after the delay is finished.

Is the while loop periodically checking the global variable or what am I missing?

Comparators missing

node-red-contrib-loop-processing/counter-loop.html

Line 39 in c8908f6

<option value="lt"><</option>

Only the comparator "smaller than" is foreseen. Is this by design ? Can I simply add other cases like >, >=, <=, == in other Options ? (new to html5 sorry)

example flows for copy-and-paste to node-red?

yould you provide your example flows not only as an image,
but also as source-text to import into node-red?

would be helpful for a first start and first experiments with your function node.
or do i miss it somewhere?

great thanx.

[feature]showing loop progress on node.status

RFE and Docup - needs a way to break out of loop

It would be nice to show in the documentation how one could break out of the loop and/or cancel a loop with an incoming message.

also in the 'Usage' section you have a spelling error

Usage
Example flow is in examples/exmple.json. <===== missing 'a' in exmple.json
Drag & drop in your Node-RED editor.

Comparing identical values returns false

I'm storing a value in a flow variable. Then when a new value comes in, I compare it with the stored value. If they differ, I execute a while loop and correct the value until they match.
However, for the While loop returns TRUE with this expression
msg.payload != flow.tiltAngle
even though both values are identical numeric values (-40 in this case).

What am I missing here?

Use font-awesome icon

icon: "font-awesome/fa-refresh"

Cannot use flow and global contex

Example images in README.md are wrong

In array-loop section, the image is counter-loop.

How to reset a counter

Hi,

I'd like to be able to reset the counter (or a while loop) to a new value and restart counting. In your examples that could be achieved by clicking two or more times on the inject node.

However it starts a second counter, probably because the node injects a distinct _msgid.

How could I achieve my goal ?

How to break array-loop node

I use the array-loop node to browse the array,
I tried setting the node to break the array midway but it didn't work.
Please tell me!
Thanks.

For example, output to value C will break the array and continue to process outside array-loop

Images in Readme on npm are broken

add repository property in package.json

array-loop

When I run a sample flow I get an error from Array loop saying "Array is not array". Here is the flow that I am testing:

Not load using IE browser

I noticed an error occurs when installing this node into the IE browser, this did not happen using the earlier version of the node.
Digging into the last changes included into the v0.4.0, there are some characters that are incompatible with the IE browser, specifically this line:
commit/78974702b23d0d1dc5c6d457728fe2197ddc1f22#diff-d1e192a5f310175b68d711da74311a70R151

that templates literals ( ${ expresssion } ), prohibit to load the node successfully.
I am agree to use this kind of expressions, because are more handy, but in this case could easily be replaced, and also become compatible again with IE ( of course if you wish that)

Regards!
