​
Overview

The Code node allows users to dynamically execute a Python code snippet within their workflows. The Python process will have access to all inputs and must output a single expression.

​
Configuration Parameters

To set up the Code node, you need to configure the following parameter:
  • Python Code: The Python code you want to execute. This code will be executed in an isolated Jupyter Kernel environment as a single notebook cell.

​
Expected Inputs and Outputs

  • Inputs: Any inputs to the Code node will be passed into the Python environment as the dictionary inputs, with the input node display IDs mapped to their respective outputs. Example: 
    a = inputs["text-var-0 output"]
  • Outputs: The output will be evaluated as the last expression within the block. The output string will be automatically trimmed and handled to ensure clean results. Example: 
    a = inputs["text-var-0 output"]

# The following string will be the output of the node
f'Output: {a}'

​
Error Handling

Any exceptions thrown within the Python process will be thrown as a workflow error. Consequently, you may also raise your own exceptions: 
a = inputs["text-var-0 output"]

try:
  a = int(a)
except:
  raise Exception("Input is not a valid integer")

a * 2
