n8n-io / n8n-nodes-starter Goto Github PK

Hi there!

I was wondering if it made sense to enable the "Template repository" setting on this repository.

Template repositories let users generate new repositories with the same directory structure and files. Learn more.

I've enabled this to try it out on my fork https://github.com/drudge/n8n-nodes-starter if you'd like to see how it works.

Clone button changes:

Shows link to template for projects created with it:

https://www.loom.com/share/1763ab6f100844e6a8c7161ba58e1a50

already run the commands prior to that.

I think it could use an update.
A lot has already been done in n8n and many libraries that are used here are no longer needed.

hi,

i am trying to install the sample Nasa starter project from here :
https://docs.n8n.io/integrations/creating-nodes/build/declarative-style-node/
at step 6 while trying npm run build in my node dir, i get this error:

fs.js:42
} = primordials;
    ^

ReferenceError: primordials is not defined

i tried to force the dependency by adding the following to my package.json:

"pnpm":{
      "overrides": {
        "graceful-fs": "^4.2.11"
      }
    }

but apparently it can not be applied when there glup server is forced to 3.9.1 in the very same package.json of this repository:
gulp": "^3.9.1",

any ideas how to solve this?

Thanks.

I updated nodejs to version 18.18.2 and the packages to the latest version. When I run n8n at first it starts normally, but after I run the npm link n8n-nodes-oraclesql command, it starts giving these errors, I don't understand why the @AWS-SDK folder gives an error in the node_modules folder .n8n\ custom but there is no error in the n8n folder, if I delete the node_modules folder which is inside the custom folder the n8n starts normally.

I returned all package and nodejs versions to their previous versions but the error still persists.
Here are the versions of my package.json

"devDependencies": {

	},

	}

For the life of me, I've been struggling with this for days. I have tried every method described in the docs, and apparently something is happening but neither the starter or the custom node from npm appear.

I'll attach my dockerfile below. Please, if you need more information, let me know.

Thank you for your help.

Not sure, why I can not open a PR here.

Anyway, I stubled across a small bug that occurs when the nodes dir contains only one file and the credentials is empty. This is the case for alternative custom nodes using the same creds as the "normal" version.

"rootDir": "./", is needed to preserve the directory structure when building.

I also recommend adding a "release": "npm run build && npm publish" script

When I want to run n8n , I am taking error like below.
I realize that i think there is a missing folder called "dist".
How can i solve this issue?

Is that my problem or yours?

i followed all the installation steps but the example nodes won't show up.

At workflow.json files the node will be addressed as n8n-nodes-starter.httpbin. Should it be here too?
