Not understanding how Modules work

[timwea]

I've analyzed the Module demo a dozen times and I cannot figure out where the logic to multiply input values by 2 is defined.

class ModuleComponent extends Rete.Component {

    constructor() {
        super("Module");
        this.module = {
            nodeType: 'module'
        }
    }

    builder(node) {
        var ctrl = new TextControl(this.editor, 'module');
        ctrl.onChange = () => {
            console.log(this)
            this.updateModuleSockets(node);
            node._alight.scan();
        }
        return node.addControl(ctrl);
    }

    change(node, item) {
        node.data.module = item;
        this.editor.trigger('process');
    }
}

What am I missing? Is it just magic?

where the logic to multiply input values by 2 is defined

that login described in Node editor module's scheme

are you saying the schema in the bottom pic is what's going on under the hood of the Module node in the top pic? where is the definition for this in the code? for example there seems to be a hardcoded '2' in the bottom socket of the Module node. is this coming from the Output none in the bottom schema? what if I want it to be 3?

exactly

hardcoded '2'

its just a label. Schemes for modules placed in https://rawgit.com/retejs/examples/master/Module/data.js

is this coming from the Output none

Output socket of the Module node will return value from the "Output" node of this module

Got it. Thanks!
