js function access to state

[Shahaf-committed]

Hello,
I'm trying to build a sequential flow as follows:

start -> condition (I wrote here a big JS function) -> 2 llm options (works fine) + 3 built-in answers from a JS function. -> 5 end nodes.

my issue is that the JS functions need access to a state variable.
I call this flow via api so I tried to overide a variable and then call it with a get variable node connected to the function input variables as a workaround.
I can't make it work, there is no real documentation on JS functions, get variables, and the integration between them.

how should I solve this?
did the flowise team have a solution for that without awkward workarounds?
if no, can anyone help me out with pushing the variable correctly to the function?

Thanks ahead.
Shahaf.

Hi.
You can simply access it via $flow.state.STATEVARIABLE
So here I have create a state variable for my flow:

I can simple access it the following in my JS code:
const jwtToken = $flow.state.jwtTOKEN;

When using it in a tool, is is probably good practise to add it to the input schema, so the Agent gives you feedback when something is missing:

Hi, thanks for the reply.

the problem I'm facing is with a custom JS node, not tool, can I run tool without an agent node?
I don't want to go through another LLM for built-in-responses.

Yes, it pretty much works the same in custom js node:
Here I have the same code in a custom js node:

The code is the same:

so I should build a costum tool, and copy my function to it as is?
but how do I activate it without LLM node?

You should use Agent v2, as it is much easier to use than Agent v1 and has more features.
And yes, copy your code to a custom js node and connect it to your nodes. The JS node is called automatically, once the flow starts:
