my-n8n-node

Custom n8n node scaffolded manually (without the official npm create @n8n/node generator).

Structure

• src/MyN8nNode.node.ts – simple example node that adds a text field to each incoming item.
• src/index.ts – exports the node so n8n can load it.
• dist/ – compiled JavaScript output after running the build.

Scripts

• npm run build – compile TypeScript to dist/.
• npm run dev – compile in watch mode.

Usage

1. Install dependencies:

   npm install
   

2. Build:

   npm run build
   

3. Link into your n8n instance (from this directory):

   npm link
   

   Then, from within your n8n installation directory:

   npm link n8n-nodes-my-n8n-node
   

4. Restart n8n and look for My N8n Node in the node list.
