Are graph inports and outports supported? #1342

Open summit-solutions opened 1 year ago

summit-solutions commented 1 year ago

Cannot find a UI element to create graph-level inports and outports (exported ports). These correspond to the graph:addinport and graph:addoutport messages.

-> How to create these graph inports and graph outports using noflo-ui?

Use case would be to send packets into the runtime and receive packets out of the runtime to and from an external system using runtime:packet messages. Or is this realized in some other way?

Thanks for your feedback, maybe I have just overseen it somewhere.

(oops, sorry posted with wrong account)

There seems to be a possibility to add inports into subgraphs, but how to add an inport to a top-level graph?

The understanding from the FBP network protocol spec seems to be:

Runtime contains one or more graphs. One can be the main graph. Each graph can contain subgraphs and groups. And each graph and subgraph can have graph/subgraph inports and outports. Or is that wrong?

When loading a graph with graph-level inport and outport into noflo-ui, it works nicely, but please give a hint how to create these new from within noflo-ui.
