Node-Red join node msg.complete property set

[Bas Wielen]

Hello

I'm working with Node-Red for the first time now and I'm using the join node to send two messages at the same time.

It works if I use the timeout function to send the message, but I would like to send the message with last function in the picture.

• After a message with the msg.complete property set

I think I have to send a message to the join node with this property set but I don't know how.

So how can I activate the join node to send with this function?

Bas, you will need two nodes to create a msg object with the "complete" property set -- use an inject node to create a msg with the payload set to a boolean 'true' value -> pass that to a change node that moves the msg.payload to msg.complete

There was a suggestion a while back to allow the inject node to ouput on any msg property (not just payload), but that is not available yet. And since there is a simple 2-node work-around, it has not bubbled up the priority list yet (and may never happen, to be honest)

so - almost as with Steve's suggestion - you could also use the change node to just add msg.complete is true to an existing message - for example the second of your messages (assuming it is not the same path as the first message :-).
