Node Generator: Realizing Rapid Low-Code Prototyping of Node-RED Connectors
summary
Tool parses an OpenAPI/Swagger spec and auto-generates the Node-RED node code (HTML + JavaScript) plus a packaged npm module that installs into Node-RED. Demo shows generating a connector for a space‑station location REST API, installing the generated npm module, dragging the drag-and-drop connector into a flow, configuring endpoints and data‑format converters, and immediately visualizing points on a world map—claiming far faster PoC connector development with subflow and service‑broker support.
