Overview
Discover how to develop custom Node-RED connectors without coding in this informative conference talk. Learn to utilize the Node generator tool, part of the Node-RED projects under the OpenJS Foundation, to convert various sources like OpenAPI documents and subflows into custom connectors. Explore the process of creating original connectors from existing Node-RED flows using subflow functionality, making it accessible to all Node-RED users. Gain insights into integrating the tool with GitHub Actions for semi-automatic release of connectors to the public. Follow along with hands-on demonstrations covering the Node-RED Flow Editor, benefits of custom connectors, connector development from subflow, and the step-by-step process of creating, converting, and publishing connectors to the Flow Library. Delve into advanced settings and explore examples of JDBC, ZIG SIM, Stable Diffusion, and React Dashboard connectors.
