Summary

Read a record from the selected directory on the local filesystem. Choose whether to return its parsed body, frontmatter, or both.

Directory Name (required) — Directory containing the record.
Key (required) — Record key, used as the filename.
Mode — Controls returned fields: Body Only returns directory, key, and value; Frontmatter Only returns directory, key, and frontmatter; Full (the default) returns those fields plus body. The body is parsed as JSON when it contains a JSON object or array; otherwise it is returned as text.

One n8n item per input item, with a single JSON record for each successful read.

The selected file must exist; a missing record raises an error. frontmatter is null when the file has no recognized frontmatter.
