Technical Implementation

  • The node is implemented as a TypeScript class that implements the INode interface.
  • It doesn’t process any data or affect the workflow execution; it’s purely for visual and documentation purposes.
  • The init() method simply returns a new instance of the StickyNote class.

​
Use Cases

  • Leaving reminders or TODOs within the workflow
  • Annotating the purpose of specific nodes or branches in the workflow
  • Providing context or background information for other users or collaborators

​
Notes

  • The StickyNote node is a non-functional node in terms of data processing. It does not alter the flow of data or perform any operations.
  • It’s particularly useful in large or complex workflows where additional context or explanations can improve understanding and maintainability.
