node-red-node-group

A Node-RED node to allow flows containing groups to be imported into older versions of Node-RED.

The ability to create groups was introduced in Node-RED 1.1.0, adding a new core node type called group.

This module provides its own group node type that can be installed into older versions of Node-RED to allow them to run flows containing that type.

It does not provide any group-like functionality - it only registers a placeholder group node type.

The module will only register the type if it detects it is being loaded into Node-RED 1.0.x or older, otherwise it does nothing.

Install

Run the following command in your Node-RED user directory - typically ~/.node-red

npm i node-red-node-group
