Value Props custom nodes for n8n (Trigger + API)

Documentation

n8n-nodes-value-props (custom nodes)

Includes:

  • ValuePropsTrigger: Webhook-based trigger (path configurable) to receive events from the Value Props app
  • ValueProps: API node to create / get resources (e.g., graph_nodes) via the app API

Local usage (docker-compose):

  1. Make sure the local docker-compose.yml mounts this folder's dist inside n8n and sets N8N_CUSTOM_EXTENSIONS=/home/node/.n8n/custom.
  2. Restart n8n: docker compose restart n8n
  3. In n8n, you should see nodes under the "Value Props" category.

Credentials:

Install from npm:

npm install n8n-nodes-value-props

Then configure n8n to load custom nodes from node_modules by setting:

  • N8N_CUSTOM_EXTENSIONS to a folder (e.g., /home/node/.n8n/custom), and copy the package there on build, or
  • use n8n’s --external-hooks/custom extensions mounting approach. See n8n docs: https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/creating-nodes/build/.

This package exposes n8n metadata in package.json so n8n can discover nodes and credentials.
