Object Node

Object Node Screenshot

Overview​

The Object Node allows you to create an object from input values and a JSON template. The node automatically escapes the input values and inserts them into the template.

This node is particularly useful for creating objects from multiple inputs. It supports any data type as input and outputs an object.

Inputs​

TitleData TypeDescriptionDefault ValueNotes
(Dynamic)anyThe input values to be inserted into the JSON template. The input names are dynamically generated.N/AThe input will be coerced into a string if it is not a string. The input names are extracted from the JSON template.

Example 1: Creating an object from multiple inputs​

  1. Create an Object Node and set the JSON Template to the following:

    {
      "name": "{{name}}",
      "age": {{age}},
      "job": "{{job}}"
    }

  2. Create two Text Nodes and set their values to John Doe and Engineer respectively. Connect them to the name and job inputs of the Object Node.

  3. Create a Number Node and set its value to 30. Connect it to the age input of the Object Node.

  4. Run the graph. The Output of the Object Node should be the following object:

    {
      "name": "John Doe",
      "age": 30,
      "job": "Engineer"
    }

Error Handling​

The Object Node will error if the JSON Template is not a valid JSON string or if the interpolated JSON string (after inserting the input values) is not a valid JSON string.

FAQ​

Q: Can I use the Object Node to create an array?

A: Yes, you can use the Object Node to create an array by setting the JSON Template to a valid JSON array string. For example:

["{{value1}}", "{{value2}}", "{{value3}}"]

Q: How are the input values escaped?

A: The input values are automatically escaped by the Object Node. If the input value is a string, it is escaped using JSON.stringify(). If the input value is not a string, it is first converted to a string using JSON.stringify() and then escaped.
