Node-RED

Node-RED is a good companion for Data Manipulation panel because it is simple, provides a visual interface, and does not require any developer experience.

Thanks to the community member Alejandro Guida for the explanation.

Use Cases​

Node-RED usage scenarios involving the Data Manipulation panel plugin:

  • Manage authentication (acquire and renew tokens) for API Services using OAuth2 authentication. Because the Data Manipulation Plugin cannot handle this type of authentication, the API inside API approach is used.
  • API Gateway to relax CORS restrictions, because Node-RED's default response includes the Access-Control-Allow-Origin: * header.
  • Manage authentication across all destination databases and APIs to preserve a single authentication type for all services.
Node-RED flow to implement GET and POST endpoints for multiple databases.
