Sending multiple payloads

[Garry Hayne]

Hi,

is this code OK (it works), or is there a better way to do it, I want to send multiple messages to a MQTT  broker:

Function node code:

node.send({payload:"4off"});

node.send({payload:"8off"});

return null;

Thanks, Garry

If it works, it's OK for me ;-)

If it didn't I would have made two outputs on the node, and joining them to the MQTT.

Hi Garry,

here's what the docs have to say on the subject: http://nodered.org/docs/writing-functions#multiple-messages

Essentially:

    return  [ [ {payload:"4off"}, {payload:"8off"} ] ]

Yes Nick, I had seen that, I just thought my (borrowed) method was more efficient because it is shorter to code, but wondered if it was "correct".
