Development

  • Install n8n (if you want faster development and don't wanna use docker)
npm i -g n8n
  • Create necessary directories
export N8N_BLOTATO_WORKDIR=$HOME/dev/n8n-blotato-work
mkdir -p $N8N_BLOTATO_WORKDIR/n8n-selfhost
cd $N8N_BLOTATO_WORKDIR
git clone [email protected]:Blotato-Inc/n8n-nodes-blotato.git
  • Build the custom node code
cd $N8N_BLOTATO_WORKDIR/n8n-nodes-blotato
npm i
# rebuilding the code and n8n restart is required
# on every change
npm run build
  • Run locally with n8n npm package
export N8N_BLOTATO_WORKDIR=$HOME/dev/n8n-blotato-work
export N8N_CUSTOM_EXTENSIONS=$N8N_BLOTATO_WORKDIR/n8n-nodes-blotato
n8n
