How to disable Nodes when embedding?

[mw75]

I embed Node-Red and would like to disable some core nodes.

I tried:

RED.start().then(function(){
        RED.nodes.disableNode('node-red/tail');
        RED.nodes.disableNode('node-red/file');
        RED.nodes.disableNode('node-red/exec');
        RED.nodes.disableNode('node-red/rpi-gpio');
        RED.nodes.disableNode('node-red/watch');
});

But the flow seems not to be loaded when the promise resolves and so i get 

Potentially unhandled rejection [1] TypeError: Cannot read property 'flows' of null

when the In-use-check is running.

Any hint would be helpful!

Regards,

Mario

You can disable nodes in the ui. I think it was under palettes or something

Hi Mario,

please can you raise an issue - there are a few parts of the API that would make sense to allow before the flow engine has started, such as this. We need to review to see what needs doing to support this.

In the meantime, you can use the `nodeExcludes` setting to prevent Node-RED from loading certain files. It works at either the node-module or file name level - not at the node-set level (eg node-red/exec). For example, you can see how we disable certain core nodes when running in Bluemix: https://github.com/ibmets/node-red-bluemix-starter/blob/35b94a6c50a71daa4654168412d8c93f861d5d1a/bluemix-settings.js#L44

Hi Nick,

Thank you very much for the nodeExcludes hint! That does the job really well!

@Glenn "Manage palette" is disabled in my setup!

Issue is raised!

Thanks once more!

Mario
